FIELD DESCRIPTION
Name (SSID) The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the AP to which the wireless stations associate.
Wireless stations associating to the AP must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive
name of up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters.
This field is only available when you select Access Point or AP + Bridge in the Operating
Mode field.
Hide Name (SSID) Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes to hide the SSID in the outgoing data frame so an
intruder cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
Channel ID Press [SPACE BAR] to select a channel. This allows you to set the operating frequency/
channel depending on your particular region.
RTS Threshold Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0
and 2432.
Frag. Threshold This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and
2432.
WEP Encryption Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without
any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Default Key Enter the key number (1 to 4) in this field. Only one key can be enabled at any one time.
This key must be the same on the ZyAIR and the wireless stations to communicate.
Key 1 to Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyAIR and the wireless stations must
use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII characters
or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or
26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
Note: Enter “0x” before the key to denote a hexadecimal key. Don’t enter
“0x” before the key to denote an ASCII key.
