Interface

 

ESSID

Sets a unique identifier to associate wireless clients with the SBG1000 access point. This

 

distinguishes between multiple wireless LANs in the same area. All clients on wireless LAN

 

must have the same Network Name as the access point. It can be any alphanumeric,

 

case-sensitive string up to 32 characters. The default is “Motorola.” We strongly recommend

 

not using the default.

Channel

Sets the wireless radio channel. You can change the channel if you encounter interference on

 

the default channel. The default is 1 (one), except in countries where the first channel

 

permitted for IEEE 802.11b wireless operation is not one.

Basic Rates

Sets the wireless data transmission rates that all wireless LAN clients must be able to receive:

 

1, 2 Mbps. The SBG1000 attempts to transmit at 2 Mbps. Use this setting if the wireless

 

LAN has only legacy IEEE 802.11b clients.

 

1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps. The SBG1000 attempts to transmit at 11 Mbps. If there are

 

obstacles or interference, it automatically steps down to the highest rate that allows

 

transmission. Use this setting if the wireless LAN has fully-compliant IEEE 802.11b clients.

 

The default is 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps.
