Name (SSID)

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client is

associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found on a typical

English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot

obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Channel Selection

Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the

frequency band and the country you are in.

This option is only available if

Auto Channel Selection

is disabled.

Operating

Channel

This displays the channel the ARMOR Z1 is currently using.

Channel Width

Select the wireless channel width used by ARMOR Z1.

A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps

(5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to

300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ).

Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select

Auto 20/40MHz

to allow the

ARMOR Z1 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.

40MHz

(channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase

throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20

MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.

Select

20MHz

if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your

neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

802.11 Mode

If you set

Band

to

2.4GHz

, you can select from the following:

•

802.11b

: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the ARMOR Z1. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at

the data rates supported by IEEE 802.11b.

•

802.11g

: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device.

IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the ARMOR Z1 only when

they use the short preamble type.

•

802.11bg

: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the ARMOR Z1. The ARMOR Z1 adjusts the transmission rate

automatically according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.

•

802.11n

: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ARMOR

Z1. This can increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g

clients will not be able to connect to the ARMOR Z1.

•

802.11gn

: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the ARMOR Z1. The transmission rate of your ARMOR Z1 might be

reduced.

•

802.11 bgn

: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN

devices to associate with the ARMOR Z1. The transmission rate of your ARMOR Z1

might be reduced.

If you set

Band

to

5GHz

, you can select from the following:

•

802.11a

: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the

ARMOR Z1.

•

802.11a/an

: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the ARMOR Z1. The transmission rate of your ARMOR Z1 might be

reduced.

•

802.11a/an/ac

: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a and IEEE 802.11c compliant

WLAN devices to associate with the ARMOR Z1.
