112 RFN_3.1 Beta
The SSID you enter must be a valid SSID that is recognized by System
Manager.
3 For Channel, type 1, 6, or 11 to specify the channel to be used by the RAP.
At the time of shipment, all RAPs are set to Channel 6 by default. Channel
numbers can only be changed at the RAP level—channels cannot be
changed using global settings. If a 3-channel frequency plan is implemented,
RFN recommends using channels 1, 6, and 11 (in countries where these
channels are permitted).
4 Select ‘Save Changes’ to save the SSID and Channel settings.
5 When WEP Encryption is disabled or “Off”, all other items related to WEP
encryption are disabled (WEP Keys and Shared Key Authentication). When
“On”, a WEP Key other than the globally configured WEP key can be
selected. Also, Shared Key Authentication can be enabled or disabled,
“checked” or “unchecked” respectively. For more information about Shared
Key Authentication, refer to section 6.2.2.2 Shared Key Authentication.
RFN recommends that RAP WEP Encryption settings be set globally rather
than individually.
RAP WEP Encryption changes remain until changes are made to the global
802.11 settings.
