Channel (for AP mode only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Available channels vary
with RF type
This option is only adjustable when the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL plays
the role of wireless AP. If the device acts as a wireless client, it
follows the channel of the associated access point
6 (in B/G/N Mixed
mode)
Channel width (for any 11N RF type only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
20 MHz
Select your channel width. If you are not sure which option to
use, select 20/ 40 MHz (Auto)
20 MHz
20/40 MHz
Channel bonding
Channel bonding shows the channel with which the AP will bond if Channel width is set to 20/40 MHz.
SSID
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Max. of 31 characters
The SSID of a client and the SSID of the AP must be identical for
the client and AP to be able to communicate with each other.

WLAN Security Settings
The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL provides four standardized wireless security modes: Open, WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and WPA2. Several security modes are available in the
IE-WL-BL-AP-CL by selecting Security mode and WPA type:
• Open: No authentication, no data encryption.
• WEP: Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be configured manually.
• WPA/WPA2-Personal: Also known as WPA/WPA2-PSK. You will need to specify the Pre-Shared Key in the
Passphrase field, which will be used by the TKIP or AES engine as a master key to generate keys that
actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.
• WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: Also called WPA/WPA2-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). In addition to
device-based authentication, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise enables user-based authentication via IEEE 802.1X.
The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL can support three EAP methods: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
