Field Description
SSID The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) is the name of the wireless network.
The default SSID is
V54, but it is strongly recommended that you
change your SSID. If there are other wireless networks in your area,
you should give your wireless network a unique name. The SSID can
consist of up to 32 characters.
Wireless mode The wireless mode options are:
• 2.4GHz 54Mbps (802.11g&b) - allows both 802.11g- and
802.11b-compliant devices to join the network. This is the
default setting.
Country Code Sets your country or region code. Selecting the incorrect country or
region may result in violation of applicable law. The selectable
countries or regions are United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and
Japan.
N
OTE – For MF2501 Adapters shipped in the United States, the
country code cannot be modified. The country code is pre-defined
for United States only.
Advanced Setting This button provides access to the advanced wireless settings.
Advanced wireless settings are for advanced configuration or testing
purposes only.
Changing the advanced settings may negatively affect the operation
of the MF2501 Adapter and is not recommended.
Security The wireless security options are:
• Disabled: This setting disables all encryption, so traffic is sent
in the clear. This setting is not recommended.
• WEP: This setting enables Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP
Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption provides
sufficient security in most cases.
• WPA-PSK: Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key
(WPA-PSK). Each packet of information is encrypted with a
different key. Provides very strong security, but may not be
supported on older systems.
Edit Security Setting Click this button to edit the security setting of WEP keys or the
WPA-PSK passphrase.
