AP (Access Point) mode
In AP mode, the ShareLink 200 is configured as a wireless access point. If the ShareLink
is wired to the network, wireless devices may access the network by connecting to the
ShareLink through Wi-Fi.
Figure 36. Access Point Mode
When AP mode is selected, the Access Point panel is shown with the following options:
• SSID: displays the default SSID of the ShareLink 200 unit. To change the SSID, type in
the desired SSID and click Apply.
• SSID Broadcast: makes the access point visible to wireless clients. SSID broadcast is
enabled by default. Choose Disable to disable SSID broadcast.
• 802.11 mode: default mode is 802.11 B/G/N mixed. Click the drop-down list to
display other modes for the 802.11 standard and select the preferred mode:
• Channel: set to Auto by default. The ShareLink 200 operates in the 2.4GHz
spectrum, which contains 11 Wi-Fi channels. In Auto mode, the ShareLink 200 selects
the best channel to operate in. Alternatively, you may select the WiFi channel manually
from the drop-down menu.
• Encryption: Click the drop-down list to display these encryption protocol options:

security key.
• Channel Bandwidth: set to Auto by default. Each channel has a bandwidth of
20MHz or 40 MHz. In auto mode, the device automatically determines which bandwidth
to use. Alternatively, you may select the 20 MHz option.
NOTE: The 40MHz bandwidth increases data throughput, but also increases the
potential for interference from adjacent channels.
