User's Manual

To always assign a static IP address to a specific DHCP client:
1. Specify the MAC address of the DHCP client and the IP address to be assigned to it. Then, give
a description for this mapping.
2. Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
3.5. Configuring IEEE 802.11b-Related Settings
3.5.1. Communication
3.5.1.1. Basic
Basic IEEE 802.11b-related communication settings include AP functionality, Regulatory domain,
Channel number, Network name (SSID), Data rate, and Transmit power.
Fig. 34. Basic IEEE 802.11b communication settings.
For specific needs such as configuring the AP as a wireless LAN-to-LAN bridge, the AP functionality
can be disabled, so that no wireless client can associate with the AP.
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a wireless client com-
puter and the SSID of the AP must be identical for them to communicate with each other.
If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the Data rate for more reliable wireless transmis-
sion. In most cases, leave the setting to Auto.
The transmit power of the RF module of the AP can be adjusted so that the RF coverage of the AP can
be changed.
3.5.1.2. Link Integrity
Fig. 35. Link integrity settings.
When the Ethernet LAN interface is detected to be disconnected from the wired network, all currently
associated wireless clients are disassociated by the AP and no wireless client can associate with the
AP. The detection mechanism is based on pinging the IP address specified in Reference host.
