4.11.1 Service Set IDentifier (SSID) and Virtual Access Point (VAP)
In order for the C1n CPE/AP and mobile clients to communicate, they must all be configured to
use the same SSID for communication both at the VAP and clients ends. SSID broadcast can be
enabled or disabled by selecting Suppress SSID. Suppress SSID is used to prevent unauthorized
users scanning for SSID while still allowing users who know the correct SSID to connect.
NOTE: Suppress SSID can be enabled only when C1n works under AP mode.
4.11.2 Wireless Mode and Radio Frequency
Altai C1n Super WiFi CPE/AP can offer 2.4GHz radio access, the following tables list the
operation mode and available frequency under the particularly wireless mode. Default setting of
AP mode radio is working on 2.4GHz 300Mbps (802.11ng HT40) and default channel is
channel 3 (2422MHz).

4.11.3 Transmit Power
The value of the Transmit Power depends on both the gain of the 2.4GHz antenna and the
maximum value of the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (Max EIRP) allowed by the country
in which C1n is used. The Transmit Power should be configured within the given range as
shown in Figure 20
NOTE: Click the Update icon to store the changed settings.
4.11.4 Channel Bandwidth
There are two kinds of Channel Bandwidth, 20MHz and 10MHz.
4.11.5 Bridge Distance
This feature is used to specify the Bridge distance value in kilometers using slider or enter the
value manually. The value could be modified between 0 and 5.Changing the distance value will
change the ACK Timeout to the appropriate value of the distance in order to make C1n getting
best performance at that distance.
4.11.6 LED signal
There are 6 LEDs at the back of C1n, the 4 LEDs in the right side are used for signal strength
indication in CPE mode or AP mode. These 4 LEDs altogether can display 8 levels of signal
strength in the following manner.
