The following table describes the fields in this menu.

Table 42   Menu 3.5 Wireless LAN Setup

ESSID

The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) identifies the AP to which the wireless stations 

associate. Wireless stations associating to the AP must have the same ESSID. Enter a 

descriptive name of up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters.
This field is only available when you select Access Point or AP + Bridge in the Operating 

Mode field.

Hide ESSID

Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes to hide ESSID in the outgoing data frame so an 

intruder cannot obtain the ESSID through passive scanning. 

Channel ID 

Press [SPACE BAR] to select a channel. This allows you to set the operating frequency/

channel depending on your particular region. 

RTS Threshold

Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0 

and 2432.

Frag. Threshold 

This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 

2432.

WEP Encryption

Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without 

any data encryption. 
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. 

Default Key

Enter the key number (1 to 4) in this field. Only one key can be enabled at any one time. 

This key must be the same on the G-1000 v2 and the wireless stations to communicate. 

Key 1 to Key 4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the G-1000 v2 and the wireless stations 

must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII characters 

or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). 
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 

26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").

Note: Enter “0x” before the key to denote a hexadecimal key. Don’t enter 

“0x” before the key to denote an ASCII key.

Authen. Method

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Auto, Open System Only or Shared Key Only and press 

[ENTER]. 
This field is N/A if WEP is not activated. 
If WEP encryption is activated, the default setting is Auto.

Select Yes to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the G-1000 v2 LED.
The blue G-1000 v2 LED is on when the G-1000 v2 is on and blinks (or breaths) when data 

is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check box to turn this LED off 

even when the G-1000 v2 is on and data is being transmitted/received.
