DS540

Maximum number of logged in devices (This item available when the unit type is “Access point”.)

The number of user unit to log in AP is limited. From 1 to 254 are input.

Factory default setting : 254

Roaming threshold (This item available when the unit type is “Station”.)

When the RSSI value of the currently connected access point is smaller than the setting, the unit searches

for a roaming-accessible access point and roams into that access point if possible. Threshold can be set

from 0 to 95. Increasing this value makes roaming easiers; decreasing it makes roaming harder.

This function is enabled when unit type is “Station.” and is disabled when it is “Access point”.

Factory default setting : 15

Broadcast (This item available when the unit type is “Access point”.)

It can be set when the mode type is “Standard infrastructure”.

It is set when the data transmission is couducted. To set the transmission rate and transmission retry

count manually, set “Speed control function” to “Manual” and set “Transmission speed” and

“Transmission retry count” to the desired values.

To set the transmission rate and transmission retry count automatically, set “Speed control function” to

“Auto” and set “Band” to the band to be used for broadcasting within the range from 0 to 54.

Factory defaults : Speed control function …Disable

Transmission speed …Auto

Transmission retry count …0

Band …0

Prioritized APs (This item available when the unit type is “Station”.)

This item allows you to specify the access point to be connected preferentially. Wireless MAC address

of access point is input in AP1 to AP5. Wireless MAC address of access point can be confirmed by using

“Status” of each access point and “Wireless MAC address” of the “Wireless LAN” items.

The access points to be connected are assigned priorities in ascending order beginning with AP1

(followed by AP2, …, AP5). By inputting the wireless MAC address, this function is enabled. When

this function is not used, all MAC addresses are set to all zeroes (00-00-00-00-00-00).

When entering a MAC address, place a hyphen (-) between adjacent pairs of bytes in the MAC address.

(Example : 01-23-45-67-89-ab)

Enable “Connect to other APs” to permit connection, if the unit fails to be connected to any of the access

points AP1 to AP5, to any other AP. To prohibit connection to any access point other than the prioritized

APs, disable “Connect to other APs”.

Factory default setting : AP1 to AP5 …00-00-00-00-00-00

Connect to other APs … Enabled
