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
Identifi cation Maps (DTIMs). This feature
is used for Power Save Mode.
Basic Rates
- 1 and 2 Mbps
- 1, 2, 5.5 and 11
- 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.
