LANCOM 3550 Wireless
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
The Wireless LAN can be „closed" to prevent this procedure. In this case, no
enrolment with the network name 'ANY' will be accepted.
Selection of a radio channel
The base station operates in a certain radio channel. The radio channel will be
selected from a list of up to 11 channels in the 2,4 GHz frequency range or
up to 19 channels in the 5 GHz frequency range. (in various countries some
radio channels are restricted, see appendix).
The used channel and frequency range define the operating of the common
radio standard, in doing so the 5 GHz frequency range correspond to the IEEE
802.11a/h standard and the 2,4 GHz frequency range to the IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11b standard.
If no further base stations operate in reach of the base station, any radio
channel can be adjusted. Otherwise, the channels in the 2,4 GHz band must
be chosen in the way that they preferably do not overlap one another or have
a distance as great as possible respectively. The automatic setting is normally
enough in the 5 GHz band, in which the LANCOM Router base station itself
adjust the best channel via TPC and DSF.

Settings for the DSL connection
For the WAN connection it may be necessary to enter the transfer protocol
being used. The wizard will e.g. automatically enter the correct settings for
major DSL providers. You only need to enter the protocol used by your access
provider if the wizard does not list your provider.
3.1.5
Connect charge protection
Connect charge protection blocks DSL connections that go beyond a previ-
ously set limit, thus protecting you from unexpectedly high connection
charges.

By using the network name 'ANY', the mobile radio station will enrol in
the next available Wireless LAN.
For standard, LANCOM base stations are responsive under the net-
work name 'LANCOM'. The wireless basic configuration of a base sta-
tion takes therefore place via this network name. If another network
name is set during the basic configuration, also the Wireless LAN
access of the configuring mobile base station must be changed to this
new network name after closing the basic configuration.
