Administrator's Handbook Wireless Settings (supported models) set wireless option ( on | off ) Administratively enables or disables the wireless interface. set wireless network-id ssid { network_name } Specifies the wireless network id for the Gateway. A unique ssid is generated for each Gateway. You must set your wireless clients to connect to this exact id, which can be changed to any 32-character string. set wireless auto-channel mode { off | at-startup | continuous } Specifies the wireless AutoChannel Setting for 802.11G models. AutoChannel is a feature that allows the Motorola Netopia® Gateway to determine the best channel to broadcast automatically. For details, see "Advanced" on page 56. set wireless default-channel { 1...14 } Specifies the wireless 2.4GHz sub channel on which the wireless Gateway will operate. For US operation, this is limited to channels 1-11. Other countries vary; for example, Japan is channel 14 only. The default channel in the US is 6. Channel selection can have a significant impact on performance, depending on other wireless activity in proximity to this AP. Channel selection is not necessary at the clients; clients will scan the available channels and look for APs using the same ssid as the client. set wireless network-id closed-system { on | off } When this setting is enabled, a client must know the ssid in order to connect or even see the wireless access point. When disabled, a client may scan for available wireless access points and will see this one. Enable this setting for greater security. The default is on. set wireless mode { both-b-and-g | b-only | g-only } Specifies the wireless operating mode for connecting wireless clients: both-b-and-g, b-only, or gonly, and locks the Gateway in that mode. NOTE: If you choose to limit the operating mode to B or G only, clients using the mode you excluded will not be able to connect. set wireless scheduler option { on | off } Enables or disables the scheduler for turning the wireless radio off and on during specified times. Default is off. set wireless scheduler begin-time hh:min Specifies the time to turn the wireless radio on, when wireless scheduler option is set to on. 216
