802.11g parameter
This item is available when “IEEE802.11g” is selected as the wireless LAN standard. Parameter about
IEEE802.11g can be set.
Enabling the “802.11g Only” mode rejects access from IEEE802.11b compliant user units and accepts
access only from IEEE802.11g compliant user units, resulting in communication with IEEE802.11g user
units at higher data rates than both types of user units coexist with the “802.11g Only” mode disabled.
This setting is the item when unit type is “Access point”.
Enabling the protect mode enables stable communication even in an environment in which IEEE802.11b
compliant user units coexist with IEEE802.11g compliant user units. Disabling the protect mode makes
communication a bit unstable but increases the data rate to some extent.
For the protect type, specify the data packet configuration method. ”CTS-only” uses only CTS to
transmit and receive data. ”RTS-CTS” uses both RTS and CTS to transmit and receive data.
Data rate of ”CTS-only”is higer than that of “RTS-CTS”. This setting is enabled when the protect mode
is enabled.

Antenna selecting
You can specify the antenna to use. When “Auto”, use the both antenna connected to the built-in
wireless module. When “1” or “2” is set, either of them is used.
Factory default setting : Auto
Statistic node address (This item available when the unit type is “Station”.)
You can set it when “Compatible Infrastructure” mode.
Enter the MAC address of the PC to be connected to the FX-D540-APDL whose unit type has been set to
“Station”. In general, set this item to connect the unit to a receive-only device such as a POS terminal.
The factory default indicates no setting (00-00-00-00-00-00).
When specifying a MAC address, enter a hyphen (-) at intervals of two bytes.
(Example: 01-23-45-67-89-ab)
Factory default setting : 00-00-00-00-00-00
