D-Link DWL-1000AP Product Manual - Page 13

Using the Configuration Menu Home > Wireless AP Name: You may choose to rename your Access Point, especially if you have more than one Access Point on your network. SSID: (Service Set Identifier) default is the default setting. The SSID is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length. Channel: Channel 6 is the default channel. Input a new number if you want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the same channel to communicate on the network. (However, if are employing the Load Balancing function of the AP, you will need to set each AP to a different non-overlapping channel: 1, 6 or 11. Clients in a "load balancing" network should set their channel to "auto.") Dynamic Channel Selection Function: automatically selects the fastest and least populated channel available for the DWL-1000AP+ when it is a part of a Load Balancing Group of 4 or more Access Points, when the 3 non-overlapping channels have already been selected. WEP Encryption: Select Enable Encryption to use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the Access Point, must share the same WEP selection - either Enable or Disable, and they must share the same WEP key. The WEP key is generated from ASCII or Hexadecimal entries that are either 64, 128, or 256 bit in length. When enabling encryption, select the Key Type (ASCII or Hexadecimal) and then input the appropriate digits or letters. You can create up to 4 keys. Select the key you wish to use. Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code for representing English letters as numbers from 0-127 13
