Operating Mode
Select the desired mode:
•
Wireless Access Point - operate as a normal Access Point
• Client Access Point
- act as a client for another Access Point. If
selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of the other
Access Point (Remote AP).
• Repeater Access Point
- act as a repeater for another Access
Point. If selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of
the other Access Point (Remote AP).
Remote AP
MAC Address
This is not required unless the Operating Mode is "Client Access
Point" or "Repeater Access Point". In either of these modes, you must
provide the MAC address of the other AP in this field. You can either
enter the MAC address directly, or, if the other AP is on-line, you can
click the "Select AP" button and select from a list of available APs.
Channel No
If "Automatic" is selected, the Wireless Access Point will self-select a
Wireless Channel.
If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow
data transfers) you may need to experiment with different channels to
see which Channel is the best.
Current Channel
No.
This displays the current channel used by the Access Point.
SSID
Enter the desired SSID. Wireless Stations must use the same SSID.
Note: The SSID is case sensitive.
Broadcast SSID
If Enabled, the SSID will be broadcast to all Wireless Stations. Sta-
tions which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct
SSID for connections to this Access Point.
