NOTE

You must reboot the Access Point before any changes to these parameters take effect.

• Physical Interface Type: For an 802.11a AP, this field reports: “802.11a (OFDM 5 GHz).” OFDM stands for

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing; this is the name for the radio technology used by 802.11a devices.

• MAC Address: This is a read-only field that displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address for the

Access Point’s wireless interface. The MAC address is assigned at the factory.

• Regulatory Domain: Reports the regulatory domain for which the AP is certified. Not all features or channels are

available in all countries. The available regulatory domains include:

— FCC - U.S./Canada, Mexico, and Australia

— ETSI - Europe and the United Kingdom

— TELEC: Japan

— SG: Singapore

— ASIA: China and South Korea

— TW: Taiwan and Hong Kong

• Network Name (SSID): Enter a Network Name (between 1 and 32 characters long) for the wireless network. You

must configure each wireless client to use this name as well.

• Auto Channel Select: The AP scans the area for other Access Points and selects a free or relatively unused

communication channel. This helps prevent interference problems and increases network performance. By default

this feature is enabled. See 802.11a Channel Frequencies for a list of Channels.
