7 Configuration Overview
SSID (SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER) _________
In a wireless network, terminals can be assigned an SSID identifier
which restricts their access to printers on the network to only those
set up for that SSID.
For example, computers set up as Accounting can only
communicate to a printer through the Marketing access point (AP)
and computers set up as Marketing can only communicate to a
printer through the Marketing access point:
CHANNELS_________________________
There are 13 channels available for use in a wireless network.
However, adjacent channels share a frequency and can interfere
with one another.
Therefore, to obtain maximum communication speed and
accuracy, channels for access points which are near each other
should be selected with 5 channels space between them: e.g.,
channels 1, 6 and 11.
