Wireless Setup

Wireless LAN

Select to enable or disable the wireless LAN. This is turned on by default. 

Name (SSID)

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client is 
associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found on a typical 
English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN. 

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a wireless client 
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Channel

Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region. 

Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the 
frequency band and the country you are in.

This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled.

Selection

Select the check box to have the PLA4231 automatically scan for and select a channel 
which is not used by another device.
