LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless LAN This shows whether the wireless LAN is ON or OFF. You can enable or disable the
wireless LAN by using the WLAN switch located on the back panel of the NBG4615.
Network
Name(SSID)
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
client is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found
on a typical English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.
You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service Sets) on
the NBG4615. This allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs
simultaneously. You can then assign varying security types to different SSIDs.
Wireless clients can use different SSIDs to associate with the same access point.
Hide Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Enable Intra-
BSS Traffic
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients
or between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point
(AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is
enabled, wireless clients can access the wired network and communicate with each
other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless clients can still access the wired
network but cannot communicate with each other.
