Using the Configuration Menu

Home > Wireless (continued)

Wireless Band: Choose 802.11a or 802.11b. In the illustration shown, 802.11a is selected .

SSID: (Service Set Identifier) “default” is the default setting for both 802.11a and 802.11b. The SSID is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length.

SSID Broadcast: “enable” is the default setting. The SSID Broadcast “broadcasts” the SSID over the network, making connection easier, although you may choose to disable this feature.

Channel: Channel 36 is the default channel for 802.11a. Channel 6 is the default channel for 802.11b. Select a different channel if you want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the same channel to communicate on the network. (Current wireless network adapters will automatically scan for the channel to establish connection with the access point.)

Radio Frequency: the radio frequency (which corresponds to the wireless band selected) appears in this “read-only” field.
