5. Select Yes if you will be using security for your wireless network (recommened).
NOTE: The setting of this security level is ONLY for client access to the Model 195Eg. The security of the Bridge
communication between the Model 195Eg’s is separate and will be configured during the repeater configuration.
Enter the SSID for your 802.11g network. The SSID is the unique identification for your wireless network and all 802.11g
devices that share a wireless network MUST have the same SSID code. This identification code is case sensitive and must
NOT contain spaces. Reference Figure 24.
6. Select the encryption level for client access to the wireless network. For further information on the different levels of security,
please refer to Appendix E – Security of this User’s Manual. If you would like to hide the SSID from broadcasting from the
Access Point select Yes. If Yes is selected the Model 195Eg will not send out periodic SSID radio beacons that can be
identified with 802.11b network scanning software. The users of the network will have to know the SSID to enter the network
and security is increased, but if you want the SSID to be broadcast to the network for easy identification then select No. The
195Eg can also be configured to discard the probe requests from 802.11g clients. If desired, set Discard Broadcast Probes to
Yes. In our example, we will be using mobile clients with 128 bit WEP. Reference Figure 25.
