Configuring the Wireless Network Enabling Your Wireless Networks 3 • G-Only: Choose this option if you have only 802.11g devices in your network. • B-Only: Choose this option if you have only 802.11b devices in your network. • Disable: Choose this option if there are no 802.11g or 802.11b devices and you do not wish to enable the wireless network. STEP 3 In the SSID section, configure up to four wireless networks by entering the SSID (network name) and other settings: • Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter a unique name for this wireless network. Include up to 32 characters, using any of the characters on the keyboard. For added security, you should change the default SSID1 (ciscosb) to a unique name. • TX Rate Limitation: Choose the rate of data transmission. The Router negotiates the connection speed between the Router and a wireless client by this rate. • SSID Broadcast: Enable this feature if you want to allow all wireless clients within range to be able to detect this wireless network when they are scanning the local area for available networks. Disable this feature if you do not want to make the SSID known. When this feature is disabled, wireless users can connect to your wireless network only if they know the SSID (and provide the required security credentials). • WMM: Check this box if you want to enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia). This feature prioritizes traffic for voice and media applications, such as Wi-Fi phones. • Wireless Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the drop-down menu. All devices in your wireless network must transmit using the same channel in order to function correctly. You may need to change the wireless channel to improve the communication quality if there is interference from nearby wireless access points. • U-APSD: Select Enable it you want to use the Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) feature to conserve power. STEP 4 In the Wireless LAN Schedule, set up schedules when your the SSID2-SSID4 networks are available. NOTE SSID 1 is the default and is always operational, unless the Wireless Network Mode option is set to Disable. Cisco Small Business WRV210 Administration Guide 38
