Wireless Configuration
Wireless Operation Factory Default = Enabled.
When disabled, no stations will be able to connect to the Router.
Network Name (SSID) This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect to
the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP card or be set to
“ANY.”
Channel Factory Default = 6
The AP transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose
from is pre-programmed into the AP card. Station cards do not have to be set to the
same channel as the AP; the Stations scan all channels, and look for an AP to connect
to.

This setting allows station to communicate with the Router.
Possible Responses:

with the Router.
11b only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11b
11b+: Stations using any of the 802.11b and 802.11b+ rates can communicate with the
