Wireless Channel

If there is more than one Wireless LAN network with different ESS-ID on the same floor, and

they are communicating with each other, the baud rate may be slowed, due to the same

radio frequency being used. If this happens, you can still communicate regardless of other

LAN networks by using to use different frequencies (wireless channels).

Note: If they are communications using the wireless LAN, be sure to set all the Units the

same wireless channel.

DHCP Server

When configuring the network TCP/IP, be sure to set the IP address in each personal

computer and other devices. When there is a DHCP server on the network, you can assign

IP addresses automatically to the personal computers and the Access Point on the network.

For the Windows NT server and dial-up router, or other DHCP server function, refer to the

Windows 2000, Windows NT, or dial-up router manual, or consult the manufacturer.

ESS-ID

This ID is used to prevent cross-communication during communication between the Access

Point and personal computers within the wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN personal

computers that have the same ESS-ID as the Access Point can communicate with the

Access Point. The ESS-ID is case sensitive. You can enter a maximum of 32 alphanumeric

characters, and the underline "_".

LAN (Local Area Network)

Read as one word. A LAN is a network in a comparatively small area, such as campus or

within a single building. The LAN baud rate varies from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.

MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)

The MAC address is a physical address specific to each network card. The MAC address is

configured from a total of six bytes as follows: A vendor code comprising the lead three bytes

and a 3-byte user code. The vendor code is managed and assigned by IEEE. The user code

is managed using a unique (unduplicated) number from the network card manufacturer. That

is, the MAC address is assigned as a physical address unique throughout the world. In an

Ethernet LAN, the MAC address is used as a base to create a frame for sending and

receiving.
