3e-531AP Wireless Access Point
Chapter 4 Gateway Confi guration
46
29000125-001 C
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.  There are 
some advanced options which are detailed in the chart below.
The SSID can be any set of letters and numbers assigned by the net-
work administrator. This nomenclature has to be set on the gateway and 
each wireless device in order for them to communicate.
The Channel Number is a means of assigning frequencies to access 
points, when many are used in the same WLAN, to minimize interfer-
ence. There are 11 channel numbers that may be assigned. 
Tx Pwr Mode and Fixed Pwr Level: 
The Tx Power Mode defaults 
to Auto, giving the largest range of radio transmission available under 
ambient 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 from the gateway, set Tx Pwr Mode to 
Off
. This will not turn off RF transmission from any associated wireless 
devices, but they will not be able to communicate with the Gateway when 
the TX power mode is off.
Advanced Options:
The advanced options included on the second section of this page are 
described in the chart on the following page:
Beacon interval
0-4095
The frequency in milliseconds in which the 
802.11 beacon is transmitted by the AP. 
RTS Threshold
0-3000
The number of bytes used for the RTS/CTS 
handshake boundary.  When a packet size 
is greater than the RTS threshold, the RTS/
CTS handshaking is performed.
DTIM
1-65535
The number of beacon intervals between 
successive Delivery Traffi c
Identifi cation Maps (DTIMs).  This feature 
is used for Power Save Mode.
Basic Rates
- 1 and 2 Mbps
- 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 
Mbps
The basic rates used and reported by 
the AP. The highest rate specifi ed is the 
rate that the AP uses when transmitting 
broadcast/multicast and management 
frames. 
Preamble
Short/Long Pre-
amble
Specifi es whether frames are transmitted 
with the Short or Long Preamble
Broadcast SSID
Enabled/disabled When disabled, the AP hides the SSID 
in outgoing beacon frames and stations 
cannot obtain the SSID through passive 
scanning.
Also, when it is disabled, the AP doesn’t 
send probe responses to probe requests 
with unspecifi ed SSIDs.
