Black Box LW0050A Manual page 34

PRO 11 SERIES WIRELESS ETHERNET
This parameter is set only in the LW0050A and LW0055A Pro 11 Access Point
models. It is not accessible from any other Pro 11 unit. During the association
process, all other stations learn the hopping sequence from the Access Point.
Different co-located WLAN segments should use different hopping sequences.
• Hopping Set (Access Points Only) – Hopping set (between 1 and 3) of the
unit. Hopping sequences are grouped in several hopping sets. Always use the
same hopping set per site.
The number of hopping sequences per set is different for each hopping standard
according to this table:
• ESSID – The ESSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) of the unit is a
string used to identify a WLAN. This ID prevents the unintentional merging of
two co-located WLANs. A station can only associate with an Access Point that
has the same ESSID. Use different ESSIDs to segment the WLAN network and
add security.
• Maximum Data Rate – Maximum data rate of the unit. Pro 11 units operate at
1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or 3 Mbps. The unit adaptively selects the highest possible
rate for transmission. Under certain conditions (compatibility reasons or for
range/speed trade-off) you may decide to limit the use of higher rates.
