Enter the SSID and select the VLAN mode. Enter the VLAN ID, and if 

“Multiple” is selected as the VLAN mode, enter the additional VLAN ID. A 

roaming environment can be built by installing multiple AirStations with 

the same SSID over a wide area.
1 to 32 single-byte alphanumeric characters and single-byte symbols can 

be entered. It is case-sensitive. The VLAN ID and the additional VLAN ID 

can be set to an integer value from 0 to 4094.
Note: To set SSID2 to SSID5, enable the numbers corresponding to 

“Enable SSID#”.

Select whether to enable or disable auto-channel. When enabled, vacant 

channels can be automatically detected.

Specify the channel range used in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band wireless 

LAN.

Specify the channel used in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band wireless LAN. 

If there are any wireless devices using a nearby frequency in the 

surrounding area, communication can be adversely affected. If the 

communication speed is slow, try changing the channel.

Note: If W53 (52, 56, 60, or 64 ch) or W56 (100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 

124, 128, 132, 136, or 140 ch) is selected, DFS (dynamic frequency 

selection) is automatically enabled to prevent crosstalk with weather 

and flight control radar and similar equipment. When enabled, if the 

AirStation detects crosstalk, wireless communication may be temporarily 

stopped for about 1 minute to prevent interference with radar.

Specify the interval for changing the channel when auto-channel 

is enabled. When “Change channel even if clients are connected” is 

checked, the channel is changed even if the client is connected to the 

AirStation.

Specify the channel bandwidth.

Select the communication speed of the management and control 

communication frame for the AirStation and wireless device.
The following speeds are available in the 802.11g standards:
•  1, 2 Mbps
•  1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps (selected by default)
•  1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 12, 24 Mbps
all (1, 2, 5.5, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps)The following speeds are 

available in the 802.11a standards:
•  6, 12, 24 Mbps (selected by default)
all (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps)If communication cannot be 

performed when set to “all”, return to the default setting.

This setting controls the communication speed of multicast packets. 

When set to “Auto”, the communication speed is determined 

automatically for maximizing the coverage distance.
802.11g
Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps can be selected.
802.11a
Auto, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps can be selected.
Because the multicast communication speed and coverage distance are 

inversely proportional to each other, this setting is recommended only 

when necessary.
