D-Link DAP-1160 User Manual

Section  - Configuration

The Wireless Network Name is a unique name that 

identifies a network. All devices on a network must 

share  the  same  wireless  network  name  in  order 

to communicate on the network. If you choose to 

change the wireless network name from the default 

setting,  input  your  new  wireless  network  name  in 

this field.
This option is unavailable in Bridge with AP mode.

Select  Enable  if  you  do  not  want  the  SSID  to  be 

broadcast by the DAP-1160. This prevents the SSID 

from  being  seen  by  Site  Survey  utilities,  so  any 

wireless clients will have to be pre-configured with 

the SSID of the DAP-1160 in order to connect to it.

Input a new number if you want to change the default 

setting. All devices on the network must be set to the 

same channel to communicate on the network.

In Bridge with AP mode, the DAP1160 wirelessly connects multiple networks, while still functioning as a wireless AP. Bridge allows access 

points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the 

amount of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same time.

Select None Encryption to across the network.

This option is unavailable in Bridge mode.

Select a wireless security setting. Options are None, WEP, WPA, WPA2 or WPA2-Auto.See p.34 for a detailed explanation 

of the wireless security options.

Enter the MAC addresses of the APs in your network that will serve as bridges to wirelessly connect multiple networks.
