32 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURING THE BRIDGE Table 11 Wireless Network Page (continued) Wireless LAN Service Area Channel Selection Transmit Power Select Attach to any WLAN Service Area (ESSID) automatically to allow the Bridge to associate with any access point without specifying the ESSID. In this mode, the Bridge uses the ESSID of the access point with the best signal strength. This mode is not available when the network mode is Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer). Select Specify the Wireless LAN Service Area to allow the Bridge to associate only with access points with the same service area. You may enter the WLAN service area name or select it from the list. You must specify the WLAN service area when the network mode is Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer). To maintain a wireless association, the WLAN service area on a Bridge and the access point with which it is associated must match exactly. Therefore, if the Bridge is set to Specify the WLAN Service Area and you change the access point WLAN service area, make sure to also change the Bridge WLAN service area. If Radio Mode is set to Auto Select, you do not have the following options to choose from. When the network mode is Wireless Client (Infrastructure), a user may have the Bridge automatically select an appropriate channel by using Automatic Best Channel or specify the channels by using Specify Channel. When the network mode is Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer) you may specify channel selection as follows: ■ Automatic Best Channel-When this option is enabled, the Bridge scans the primary channels. If the Bridge is establishing a new ad-hoc network, it chooses the channel with the least number of packets. If the Bridge is joining an existing ad-hoc network, it selects the channel in use. ■ Specify Channel-Click the button preceding this option and enter the Advanced Wireless Network page. On this page, you can choose channels from the Channel list. This option specifies the level of transmission power. Select one of the values (100%, 50%, 25%, 12%, min) from the drop-down menu. Decrease the Transmit Power setting if more than one Bridge is using the same channel frequency. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

Select
Attach to any WLAN Service Area (ESSID) automatically
to allow the Bridge to associate with any access point without
specifying the ESSID. In this mode, the Bridge uses the ESSID of
the access point with the best signal strength. This mode is not
available when the network mode is
Ad-hoc
(Peer-to-Peer).
Select
Specify the Wireless LAN Service Area
to allow the
Bridge to associate only with access points with the same
service area. You may enter the WLAN service area name or
select it from the list. You must specify the WLAN service area
when the network mode is
Ad-hoc
(Peer-to-Peer).
To maintain a wireless association, the WLAN service area on a
Bridge and the access point with which it is associated must
match exactly. Therefore, if the Bridge is set to
Specify the
WLAN Service Area
and you change the access point WLAN
service area, make sure to also change the Bridge WLAN
service area.
Channel Selection
If Radio Mode is set to
Auto Select
, you do not have the
following options to choose from.
When the network mode is
Wireless Client (Infrastructure)
, a
user may have the Bridge automatically select an appropriate
channel by using
Automatic Best Channel
or specify the
channels by using
Specify Channel
.
When the network mode is
Ad-hoc
(Peer-to-Peer) you may
specify channel selection as follows:
■
Automatic Best Channel
—When this option is enabled, the
Bridge scans the primary channels. If the Bridge is
establishing a new ad-hoc network, it chooses the channel
with the least number of packets. If the Bridge is joining an
existing ad-hoc network, it selects the channel in use.
■
Specify Channel
—Click the button preceding this option
and enter the Advanced Wireless Network page. On this
page, you can choose channels from the Channel list.
Transmit Power
This option specifies the level of transmission power. Select
one of the values (100%, 50%, 25%, 12%, min) from the
