Site Survey
Available in Base Station and CPE mode, the SGT-LD-55-23 is able to perform a site survey, through
which, information on the available access points will be detected. Open Basic Settings in
Wireless”, by clicking the Site Survey button beside Wireless Mode option. The wireless site
survey window will pop up with a list of available wireless networks. Select the AP you would like to
connect to and click Selected to establish connection.
Base Station ID (SSID)
For Base Station mode, it requires SSID for CPU clients to associate with. This wireless network
name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network. Keep it identical on all
those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and cannot exceed 32 characters.
Wireless Mode
The SGT-LD-55-23 can only communicate with wireless devices using 802.11a.
Channel/Frequency
Channels varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a suitable
operating channel from the drop-down list according to your situation. To avoid adjacent channel
interference, it is highly suggested to separate the 2 RF link channels as much as possible.
Transmit Rate
Usually Best is preferred. Under this rate setting, the SGT-LD-55-23 will automatically select the
highest available rate to transmit. In some cases, however, like where there is no great demand for
speed, you can have a relatively-low transmit rate as a compromise for deployment of a long
distance link.
Output Power
Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the longer distance the
signal can cover, but the power consumption will be then be greater, accordingly. Usually 100% is
preferred.
Band Width
Four bandwidths are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. Among them, 40MHz can
enhance the data rate more effectively, but will use more bandwidth, thus cause (and be more
susceptible) possible interference.
TDM Coordination
Stands for Time-Division Multiplexing Technique, this resource reservation control mechanisms
