Chapter 3: Basic configuration

By using the network name 'ANY', the mobile radio station will enrol in the next available Wireless LAN.

The Wireless LAN can be „closed“ to prevent this procedure. In this case, no enrolment with the network name 'ANY' will be accepted.

work name 'LANCOM'. The wireless basic configuration of a base sta- tion takes therefore place via this network name. If another network name is set during the basic configuration, also the Wireless LAN

access of the configuring mobile base station must be changed to this new network name after closing the basic configuration.For standard, LANCOM base stations are responsive under the net-

Selection of a radio channel

The base station operates in a certain radio channel. The radio channel will be selected from a list of up to 11 channels in the 2,4 GHz frequency range or up to 19 channels in the 5 GHz frequency range. (in various countries some radio channels are restricted, see appendix).

The used channel and frequency range define the operating of the common radio standard, in doing so the 5 GHz frequency range correspond to the IEEE 802.11a/h standard and the 2,4 GHz frequency range to the IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b standard.

If no further base stations operate in reach of the base station, any radio channel can be adjusted. Otherwise, the channels in the 2,4 GHz band must be chosen in the way that they preferably do not overlap one another or have a distance as great as possible respectively. The automatic setting is normally enough in the 5 GHz band, in which the LANCOM Router base station itself adjust the best channel via TPC and DSF.

3.1.4Settings for the DSL connection

For the WAN connection it may be necessary to enter the transfer protocol being used. The wizard will e.g. automatically enter the correct settings for major DSL providers. You only need to enter the protocol used by your access provider if the wizard does not list your provider.

3.1.5Connect charge protection

Connect charge protection blocks DSL connections that go beyond a previ- ously set limit, thus protecting you from unexpectedly high connection charges.
