Crestron CEN-WAP-ABG-1G 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point
Transmit Power: From the drop-down list, select the desired level of transmit power
to change the RF coverage: High (default setting), Medium High, Medium,
Medium Low, or Low.
Setting the transmit power to the highest level maximizes the range, which reduces
the number of access points necessary. If you wish to increase the capacity of the
network by placing access points closer together, set the transmit power to a lower
value to decrease overlap. In addition, lower power settings improve security by
limiting wireless signals from propagating outside the physically controlled area of
the site.

Refer to the configuration guidelines that fo llow.
Wireless SSID broadcast: From the drop-down list, select either of the following:
• Disable: Prevents the access point from broadcasting the SSID to all
wireless devices that are in range but not already associated with the
network. Selecting Disable increases network security; however, new
devices will not automatically discover the network and will require that the
SSID be entered manually.
• Enable: (Default setting) Allows the access point to broadcast the SSID to
all wireless devices.
