Wireless Setup
General
Wireless Setup allows your comupter's PC card to talk to the Access 
Point.
On the Wireless Confi guration — General page, you must enter the 
SSID for the wireless LAN. This is also where you can assign a channel 
number to the AP (if necessary) and modify the Tx Pwr Mode. 
The SSID can be any set of letters and numbers assigned by the net-
 work ad min is tra tor. This no men cla ture has to be set on the access point 
and each wireless device in order for them to communicate.
The Channel Number is a means of assigning frequencies to a series 
of access points, when many are used in the same WLAN, to minimize 
interference. You can assign channels manually or automatically, using 
the Automatically select the optimal channel at bootup function. If as-
signing manually, there are 11 channel numbers that may be assigned. If 
you assign channel number 1 to the fi rst in a series, then channel 6, then 
channel 11, and then continue with 1, 6, 11, you will have the optimum 
frequency spread to decrease “noise.” If you wish to assign automatically, 
set the auto function to YES.
Tx Pwr Mode and Fixed Pwr Level: 
The Tx Power Mode defaults to 
Auto
, giving the largest range of radio transmission available under nor-
mal conditions. As an option, the AP's broadcast range can be limited by 
setting the Tx Power Mode to Fixed and  choosing from 1-8 for Fixed Pwr 
Level (1 being the shortest distance.) Finally, if you want to prevent any 
radio frequency transmission, set Tx Pwr Mode to Off.
