•1 ESSID - An ASCII string of up to 32 characters used to identify a WLAN that
prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. It is essential that
the ESSID is set to the same value in all stations and Wireless Base Stations in
the extended WLAN. The ESSID field is case-sensitive.
•2 Channel - Select that the unit will use by selecting a value (range: 1-14) from the
pulldown menu. Refer to Table 3-1 for the list of corresponding frequencies.
When the RB-DS.11 unit will power up, it will automatically change channels,
search for the BU-DS.11 unit and synchronize with it; there is therefore no need
for channel assignment. Once the channel on the RB-DS.11 is assigned, it will no
longer change channels automatically.
Note: The channel selection must match the selection at the other side of the link.
