WIFI
The Wi-Fi network settings can be configured from this window, including SSID, SSID
parameters, and 802.11a and 802.11g Wireless options.
• SSID: This field defines the identifier of the Service Set to which all the Access/One
Network Wireless Modules belong. User devices must provide this SSID to connect to
Access/One Network. You may enter an alphanumeric string that is between 1 and 32
characters in length that user devices will associate with in Infrastructure mode. If you
want to assign a unique SSID to a specific Wireless Module, drill down to the module
itself and update the System Name field to set a unique SSID for the device.
• Suppress SSID: Select ‘Yes’ if you want to prevent the broadcast of the SSID in
beacons from all Wireless Modules in the Access/One Network (recommended).
• Enabling 802.11a Turbo Mode: Clicking on the ‘enable 802.11a Turbo mode’
checkbox will configure all 802.11a Wireless Modules in the Access/One Network to
operate in Turbo Mode. In this mode the 802.11a Wireless Modules will operate with
data rates at speeds up to 108 Mbps. This translates to nearly double the throughput,
but there are some limitations. These limitations are as follows:
o Only three operating channels are supported, as opposed to eight channels in
non-turbo mode.
o All user devices must also be capable of and configured for 802.11a Turbo
Mode. Note: Turbo Mode is not an industry standard and so not all 802.11a
user devices support this feature.
