Description
ESSID
The ESSID (up to 31 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name in a
WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merge of two nearby WLANs.
Please make sure that the ESSID of all wireless stations in the same
WLAN network are the same. The default ESSID is “
default
”. You should
assign ESSID in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, “Station-
Infrastructure mode”, “AP Bridge-WDS mode” and “Universal Repeater
mode”.
Band
It allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You also
can select B+G mode to allow the AP select 802.11b and 802.11g
connection automatically.
Channel Number
Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond to your
network settings. Channels differ from country to country.
Channel 1-11 (North America)
Channel 1-14 (Japan)
Channel 1-13 (Europe)
There are 14 channels available.
You should assign Channel Number in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad Hoc
mode”, “AP Bridge-Point to Point mode”, “AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point
mode” and “AP Bridge-WDS mode”, “Universal Repeater mode”.
MAC Address
If you want to bridge more than one wired Ethernet networks together with
wireless LAN, you have to set this access point to “AP Bridge-Point to
Point mode”, “AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point mode” or “AP Bridge-WDS
mode”. You have to enter the MAC addresses of other access points that
join the bridging work.
WLAN MAC
In “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, “Station-Infrastructure mode” and “Universal
Repeater mode”, this device need a WLAN MAC address to act as a
station to connect to other peer or access point. You also can click “Clone
MAC” button to let this device copy the MAC address of the PC you are
using to configure this device.
Root AP SSID
In “Universal Repeater mode”, this device can act as a station to connect
to a Root AP. You should assign the SSID of the Root AP here.
Set Security
In “AP Bridge-Point to Point mode”, ““AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point mode”
and “AP Bridge-WDS mode”, you can click “Set Security” to add
encryption for the communication between the bridged access points. This
can protect your wireless network.
Associated Clients
Click “Show Active Clients” button, then an “Active Wireless Client Table”
will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless stations that are
connecting to the access point.
Wireless Site Survey
When you use this access point as a wireless station for wired network
device to have wireless capability, you have to associate it will an working
access point. Click “Select Site Survey” button, then a “Wireless Site
Survey Table” will pop up. It will list all available access points near by.
You can select one access point in the table and it will join wireless LAN
through this access point.
Click
Apply
button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure
