Wireless Access Point User Guide

•Dynamic Super 802.11g (108Mbps) - This uses Packet Bursting, FastFrame, Compression, and "Channel Bonding" (using 2 chan- nels) to increase throughput. Only clients supporting the "Atheros Super G" mode can connect at 108Mbps, and they will only use this speed when necessary. Howerver, this option is backward- compatible with 802.11b and (standard) 802.11g.

•Static Super 802.11g (108Mbps) - This uses Packet Bursting, FastFrame, Compression, and "Channel Bonding" (using 2 chan- nels) to increase thoughput. Because "Channel Bonding" is always used, this method is NOT compatible with 802.11b and (standard) 802.11g. Only clients supporting the "Atheros Super G" mode can connect at 108Mbps; they will always connect at this speed. Select this only if all wireless stations support this "Atheros Super G" mode.

Operating Mode Select the desired mode:

•Wireless Access Point - operate as a normal Access Point

•Client Access Point - act as a client for another Access Point. If selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of the other Access Point (Remote AP).

•Repeater Access Point - act as a repeater for another Access Point. If selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of the other Access Point (Remote AP).

•Point-to-Point Bridge - In this mode, the AP will communicate ONLY with another Bridge-mode Wireless Station. You must en- ter the MAC address (physical address) of the other Bridge-mode Wireless Station in the field provided. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this communication.

•Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge - Select this only if this AP is the "Master" for a group of Bridge-mode Wireless Stations. The other Bridge-mode Wireless Stations must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this AP's MAC address. They then send all traffic to this "Master", rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this traffic.

Remote AP	This is not required unless the Operating Mode is Client Access Point,
MAC Address	Repeater Access Point, or Point-to-Point Bridge. In these modes,
	you must provide the MAC address of the other AP in this field. You
	can either enter the MAC address directly, or, if the other AP is on-
	line, you can click the "Select AP" button and select from a list of
	available APs.
Channel No	If "Automatic" is selected, the Wireless Access Point will self-select a
	Wireless Channel.
	If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow
	data transfers) you may need to experiment with different channels to
	see which Channel is the best.
Current Channel	This displays the current channel used by the Access Point.
No.
SSID	Enter the desired SSID. Wireless Stations must use the same SSID.
	Note: The SSID is case sensitive.
