Chapter 3 Basic

This section introduces the wireless LAN features. 

The SSID (Service Set Identity) is a unique name shared among all wireless devices in a 
wireless network. Wireless devices must have the same SSID to communicate with each other.

A radio frequency used by a wireless device is called a channel.

The P-336M provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most 
networking scenarios, the factory default Best (Automatic) setting proves the most efficient. 
This setting allows your P-336M to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When 
the communication quality drops below a certain level, the P-336M automatically switches to 
a lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data speeds is usually more reliable. 
However, when the communication quality improves again, the P-336M gradually increases 
the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available transmission rate. You 
can select any of the above options. If you wish to balance speed versus reliability, select 54 
Mbps

in a networking environment where you are certain that all wireless devices can 

communicate at the highest transmission (data) rate. 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps are used often in 
networking environments where the range of the wireless connection is more important than 
speed. 

The SuperG technology works with IEEE 802.11 a/b/g products. It doubles IEEE 802.11g 
performance by bonding two 54Mbps channels and allowing larger frames to be sent. IEEE 
802.11g wireless LAN devices using Super G can transmit at up to 108 Mbps.
