NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point before any changes to these parameters take effect.
•
Physical Interface Type: For Wireless Interface A, this field reports: "802.11a (OFDM 5 GHz)." For Wireless Interface B, depending on
the operational mode, this field reports:
–
For 802.11b mode only: "802.11b (DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
–
For 802.11g mode: "802.11g (OFDM/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
–
For 802.11b/g mode: "802.11g (OFDM/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
OFDM stands for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing; this is the name for the radio technology used by 802.11a devices. DSSS
stands for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum; this is the name for the radio technology used by 802.11b devices.
•
MAC Address: This is a read-only field that displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address for the Access Point's wireless
interface. The MAC address is assigned at the factory.
•
Regulatory Domain: Reports the regulatory domain for which the AP is certified. Not all features or channels are available in all
countries.
•
Network Name (SSID): Enter a Network Name (between 1 and 32 characters long) for the primary wireless network. You must configure
each wireless client using this network to use this name as well. Additional SSIDs and VLANs may be configured under Configure >
SSID/VLAN/Security. Up to 16 SSID/VLAN pairs may be configured per wireless interface.
NOTE
Do not use quotation marks (single or double) in the Network Name; this will cause the AP to misinterpret the name.
•
Auto Channel Select: The AP scans the area for other Access Points and selects a free or relatively unused communication channel.
This helps prevent interference problems and increases network performance. By default this feature is enabled. See
Specifications
for a list of Channels. Note that you cannot disable Auto Channel Select for 802.11a products operating in Europe's middle
frequency band (see
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
for details).
