Access point settings This section provides an overview and allows you to configure the basic wireless
networking parameters for your SpeedTouch™ wireless access point.
Following wireless access point settings can be viewed or configured:
 Network Name (SSID):
The network name, also known as Service Set ID (SSID). For more information,
see “ Network Name (SSID)” on page 162.
 Rate:
Displays the current modulation rate in which the SpeedTouch™ is operating.
Take into consideration that if the distance between the SpeedTouch™ and the
clients increases the throughput decreases. Walls, closets and big metal objects
have a negative influence.
 Interoperability Mode
 Channel Selection allows you to choose between:
 Auto:
The best communication channel is automatically selected by the
SpeedTouch™ (recommended setting). The Current Channel displays the
channel currently in use.
 A specific channel.
 Regulatory Domain displays the access point’s Regulatory Domain.
 Only stations with correct Network name (SSID) can connect:
If this check box is:
 Cleared, the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its SSID and accepts every client.
 Selected, the SpeedTouch™ does not broadcast its SSID and accepts only
those clients who have the correct Network name (SSID).
 Framebursting:
Allows you to enhance the performance of wireless networks by improving the
efficiency between the client and the access point if you have mainly
downstream traffic.
 Allow multicast frames sent to local clients.
 Wireless interface enabled:
Allows you to enable/disable the wireless interface.
