SSID Name
This is the Service Set Identifier which must be identical to the
Access Point's SSID name. The SSID name can be configured to a
maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID name and
alphanumeric characters are divided into three parts in the control
panel menu as "SSID Name (01-15)", "SSID Name (16-30)" and
"SSID Name (31-32)".
NOTE: When two or more consecutive space characters are used
in the SSID, enclose it in a double quoted string;otherwise
upon resetting the Ethernet, the SSID Name wil be saved
in the Wireless Ethernet with only one space.
Minimum Transfer Rate
Allows you to set the minimum speed at which the Wireless Option
will accept a connection (in million bits per second).
This is the wireless transfer rate, and can be set to either “enable”
or “disable.” It is set to “enable” when the operation mode is
"Infrastructure" so that the Ethernet Interface can automatically
detect the optimal transfer rate. If the operation mode is "Ad Hoc"
and the transfer rate is known, the user can enable or disable the
corresponding transfer rate in the menus "Xfer Rate 1Mb", "Xfer
Rate 2Mb", "Xfer Rate 5.5Mb" or "Xfer Rate 11Mb".
Channel
This is the frequency used for wireless communication. The
2.4GHz band spectrum is divided into different channels (1-15). It is
set to "Default" so that the Ethernet Interface can detect the correct
channel to communicate with the Access Point in infrastructure
mode. If the operation mode is "Ad Hoc" and the channel is known,
the user can set the corresponding channel in this menu.
Antenna Diversity
This is used to select the antenna for communication. It is
recommended to set to "Diverse" for the Ethernet Interface to
detect for optimal communication. It can also be set to "Primary" or
"Auxiliary".
