39 

SMCD3GNV4 and SMCD3GNV4E Wireless EMTA Gateway Administrator Manual 

Band Status 

Lets you enable or disable the Gateway’s 2.4/5 GHz band operation. 

Radio Mode Selection 

Click the Gateway wireless radio to be used. Choices are: 

• 

2.4G = 2.4 GHz radio is used. 

• 

5G = 5 GHz radio is used. 

Network Name (SSID) 

Enter a name for the private Wi-Fi network. The network name will make it more obvious for other devices to know which 

network they are connecting to. 

Mode 2.4G 

If Radio Mode Selection is set to 2.4G, use this field to select the Gateway wireless mode. Choices are: 

• 

802.11 b = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11b devices only. 

• 

802.11 g = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11g devices only. 

• 

802.11 n = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11n devices only. 

• 

802.11 b/g = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g devices. 

• 

802.11 g/n = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11g and 802.11n devices. 

• 

802.11 b/g/n = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices. 

Mode 5G 

If Radio Mode Selection is set to 5G, use this field to select the Gateway wireless mode. Choices are: 

• 

802.11 a = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11a devices only. 

• 

802.11 a/n = select this setting if your wireless network consists of IEEE 802.11a and 802.11n devices. 

Security Mode 

To prevent other computers in the area from using your Internet connection, secure your wireless network by selecting an 

encryption method from this drop-down list. There are several selections available, including the following. (Risky 

appears next to selections that provide little or no protection). 

• 

Open = wireless transmissions are not protected. 

• 

WEP = basic encryption and therefore least secure (i.e., it can be easily cracked, but is compatible with a wide range 

of devices including older hardware). WEP 64- and 128-bit selections are provided.   

• 

WPA-PSK = designed for home and small-office networks. Each wireless network device encrypts the network traffic 

using a 256-bit key. Select this option if your wireless adapters support Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-shared Key 

(WPA-PSK) mode.   

• 

WPA2 = second generation of WPA that adds CCMP encryption with mathematically proven security. Select this 

option if your wireless adapters support WPA2. 

Network Password 

If you select one of the WEP or WPA encryption settings, enter the case-sensitive password used for encryption and 

decryption. For security, each typed password character is masked as a dot (

λ). If you specify a hexadecimal password, 

use the letters A to F and numbers 0 to 9. 

• 

WEP 64 requires a 5 ASCII character or 10 hexadecimal character password. 

• 

WEP 128: requires a 13 ASCII character or 16 hexadecimal character password. 

• 

WPA-PSK (TKIP) requires an 8-to-63 ASCII character or a 64 hexadecimal character password. 

• 

WPA-PSK (AES) requires an 8-to-63 ASCII character or a 64 hexadecimal character password. 

• 

WPA2-PSK (TKIP) requires an 8-to-63 ASCII character password. 

Broadcast Network Name 

(SSID) 

Check to enable broadcasting of the SSID. When wireless devices survey wireless networks to associate with, they will 

detect the SSID broadcast by the Gateway. 

Channel Selection 

Select how the Gateway will select a channel for communicating over the wireless network. Choices are: 

• 

Automatic = the Gateway selects the channel automatically. 

• 

Manual = the Gateway uses the channel specified in the Channel option.
