Operating Instructions Data Entry Field Wireless Network Mode SSID Stealth SSID Select a wireless network mode from Disable, "802.11b", "802.11b/g" or "802.11g only". • Select Disable when you do not want to send/receive wireless data. • "802.11b" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. Compatible products are abundant and low priced. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also already widespread so it is useful when you want to use your other wireless devices. • "802.11b/g" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. It combines the features of "802.11b" and "802.11g", and is compatible with both wireless LAN specifications. It is also easy to introduce into existing wireless environments. • "802.11g only" can only send/receive data to and from the 802.11g. If this product's data sending/receiving mode is set to "802.11g only", it does not support "802.11b/g" integration mode, but the original 802.11g's capabilities are realized. It is faster and reaches further than "802.11b/g", so is good to use when sending/receiving data between floors. • When using "802.11g only", if other 2.4.GHz band wireless devices (including the "802.11b" wireless device) exist, the data speed is reduced. A name is given to the network on a wireless LAN. This name is called SSID. The SSID can be set on each device connected to the wireless LAN, and data can only be sent/received to and from devices with the same SSID. Enter the SSID following the guidelines below. (The device-specific SSID is already entered in the default settings. It is displayed on the rear of this product.) • It is case-sensitive. (e.g. 'ABC' and 'abc' are recognized as 2 different names.) • Enter no more than 32 characters. For the wireless LAN device to detect the network, there is a function whereby the SSID, which is a network identifier, is sent out to surrounding devices at regular time intervals. If Disable is selected, the wireless LAN device can detect the network easily. However, unauthorized users can also find the network and try to connect to it, so there a possible security weakness. By selecting Enable on the stealth SSID function, it is possible to use this product to make the network hard to detect for unauthorized users. When Enable is set, connection through the ANY key can be denied. The default is set to Enable. Functions [For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033] 49
