Using the Wireless Security Screen

The following table describes the fields on the AP Mode Setup Screen.

 

 

 

 

Wireless

 

 

Region

Select the region where the computer is located.

 

SSID

If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access points) this ID is called an ESSID

 

 

(Extended Service Set Identifier).

 

 

It is possible to change the SSID to a preferred value.

 

 

AP mode and AP/Router mode must use different SSIDs. Using the same SSID for both modes would

 

 

confuse wireless clients.

 

Broadcast SSID

If enabled, the SSID will broadcast its name to all wireless stations.

 

 

On the computer, the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is listed as an Available Wireless Network,

 

 

using the SSID above. If this wireless network is selected, the computer adopts this SSID

 

802.11 Mode

Select the desired mode:

 

 

g & b - Both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations will be able to use the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile

 

 

Router.

 

 

g only - Only 802.11g wireless stations can use the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router.

 

 

 

 

Channel No.

This selection determines which operating frequency will be used. The channel list changes according

 

 

to the selected region.

 

 

Select the desired channel. Adjacent access points should use different channels to avoid interference.

The current security setting for wireless connections is displayed.

 

 

Note: The default value is Off, meaning no security.

feature.

 

 

 

 

Copy AP/Router

Clicking this button copies the wireless settings, including the Trusted Station list, from the AP/Router

 

Mode Settings

screen to this screen.

 

 

This is only useful if the AP/Router Setup screen is already configured.

modes would confuse wireless clients.
