Operation Mode: AP1001g can be used as an Access Point or as a Wireless Bridge. Wireless
Bridge is used when it is not advisable to lay an Ethernet line over a distance. Two AP1001g can
be set up to connect over this distance, acting as the wired backbone.
SSID: Service Set Identifier. It is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a Wireless LAN.
This name allows PCs to connect to the correct Wireless Access Point when multiple Access
Points operate in the same location. The default SSID is ANY.
Supress SSID: When this is ticked, AP1001g will not broadcast the SSID. Unwelcome PCs will
not be able to scan for the SSID of this AP1001g, and they can only associate if they know
exactly what is the SSID.
Wireless Mode: To choose to operate the AP or Bridge in 802.11b or 802.11g. Both operate in
the frequency of 2.4GHz but 802.11g has a faster data rate of 54Mbps as compared to the
11Mbps of 802.11b.
Radio Frequency: There are 11 different frequency channels. You can choose to set the
frequency channel to use or use SmartSelect for automatic channel selection.
Enable 11b AP Support: This is use only if AP1001g is set to Bridge mode. Tick the box if the
AP that the bridge is associated to supports only 802.11b.
Remote AP MAC List: This is use only if AP1001g is set to Bridge mode. The Bridge will only
associate with AP whose MAC address is in the list. It is essential to type in the MAC address of
the AP without any spacing in front or behind it.
Site Survey: Display the MAC address, RSSI, SSID and the channel of other AP.
Do not insert any spacing in front or behind the MAC address when using
Remote AP MAC List. Failing to do so will cause the bridge unable to associate
with the intended AP.
