Name

Assigns a unique human-friendly name that

 

 

 

allows the WWB or WEC to be easily

 

 

 

identified.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SSID (Domain

This is commonly called the Domain Name

 

 

Name)

and is defined in the IEEE 802.11b Wireless

 

 

 

Standard as SSID. Stations, WWBs, WECs,

 

 

 

and APs in the same group must use the same

 

 

 

Domain Name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication

From the dropdown list select: Open system,

 

 

Mode

Shared key, or Both.

 

 

 

Open System: no authentication required for

 

 

 

connecting to other wireless devices

 

 

 

Shared Key: uses the same shared key

 

 

 

(automatically generated by the system) for all

 

 

 

connecting wireless devices

 

 

 

Both: the system will try shared key mode

 

 

 

first. If that fails it will switch to open

 

 

 

system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transmission Rate

Sets the transmission rate at which the data

 

 

 

packets are transmitted by the WWB or WEC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basic Rates

This value determines the basic rates used and

 

 

reported for this BSS by the WWB or WEC.

 

 

 

The highest rate specified will be the rate that

 

 

 

the WWB or WEC will use when transmitting

 

 

 

broadcast/multicast and management frames.

 

 

 

Available options are:

 

 

 

1 and 2Mbps

 

 

 

All (1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regulatory Domain

Identifies the country where the WWB or

 

 

 

WEC is used. Each country has defined its

 

 

 

available channel numbers and transmission

 

 

 

power (see Appendix, page 64)
