Option Description
Enable Wireless A checkbox that enables or disables the wireless LAN
interface. When selected, the Web UI displays Hide Access
point, SSID, and County settings. The default is Enable
Wireless.
Hide Access Point Select Hide Access Point to protect device access point from
detection by wireless active scans. If you do not want the
access point to be automatically detected by a wireless
station, this checkbox should be de-selected.
The station will not discover this access point. To connect a
station to the available access points, the station must
manually add this access point name in its wireless
configuration. In Windows XP, go to the Network>Programs
function to view all of the available access points. You can
also use other software programs such as NetStumbler to
view available access points.
SSID Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service
Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the
correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not
match, that user will not be granted access.
The naming conventions are: Minimum is one character and
maximum number of characters: 32 bytes.
BSSID The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular
BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure
BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Medium Access
Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and in
Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is
generated randomly.
Country A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific
national settings. Each county listed in the menu enforces
specific regulations limiting channel range:
US= worldwide, Japan=1-14, Jordan=10-13, Israel=TBD
