signed the same IP address.
To always assign a static IP address to a specific DHCP client:
1. Specify the MAC address of the DHCP client and the IP address to be assigned to it. Then, give
a description for this mapping.
2. Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
3.5. Configuring IEEE 802.11g-Related Settings
3.5.1. Communication
3.5.1.1. Basic
Basic IEEE 802.11g-related communication settings include IEEE 802.11b/g functionality, RF type,
Regulatory domain, Channel number, Multiple Network name (SSID), Data rate, and Transmit
power.
Fig. 32: Basic IEEE 802.11g communication settings
For specific needs such as configuring the IEEE 802.11b/g as a wireless LAN-to-LAN bridge, the
IEEE 802.11b/g functionality can be disabled, so that no wireless client can associate with the IEEE
802.11b/g.
The RF type of the WLAN interface can be configured to work in IEEE 802.11b only (b Only), IEEE
802.11g only (g Only), or mixed mode (Mixed—802.11g and 802.11b simultaneously).
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a wireless client com-
puter and the SSID of the IEEE 802.11b/g must be identical for them to communicate with each other.
If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the Data rate for more reliable wireless transmis-
sion. In most cases, leave the setting to Auto.
The transmit power of the RF module of the IEEE 802.11b/g can be adjusted so that the RF coverage
of the IEEE 802.11b/g can be changed.
