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.

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.
