EMG5324-D10A User’s Guide

This chapter describes the Device’s Network Setting > Wireless screens. Use these screens to 
set up your Device’s wireless connection.

• Use  the  General screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless 

security mode (

).

• Use  the  More AP screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your Device (

).

• Use  the  WPS screen to enable or disable WPS, view or generate a security PIN (Personal 

Identification Number) (

).

• Use  the  WMM screen to enable Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) to ensure quality of service in wireless 

networks for multimedia applications (

). 

• Use  the  Scheduling screen to schedule a time period for the wireless LAN to operate each day 

(

).

• Use  the  Channel Status screen to scan wireless LAN channel noises and view the results

You don’t necessarily need to use all these screens to set up your wireless connection. For example, 
you may just want to set up a network name, a wireless radio channel and some security in the 
General screen.

Wireless networks consist of wireless clients, access points and bridges. 

• A wireless client is a radio connected to a user’s computer. 
• An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can connect with 

numerous wireless clients and let them access the network. 

• A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and wireless clients, 

extending a network’s range. 

Traditionally, a wireless network operates in one of two ways.

• An “infrastructure” type of network has one or more access points and one or more wireless 

clients. The wireless clients connect to the access points.

• An “ad-hoc” type of network is one in which there is no access point. Wireless clients connect to 

one another in order to exchange information.
