Configuring IEEE 802.11g-related Settings

Communication

Basic

Basic IEEE 802.11g-related communication settings include AP functionality, RF type, Regulatory domain, Channel number, Network name (SSID), Data rate, and Transmit power.

For specific needs such as configuring the AWK-1100 as a wireless LAN-to-LAN bridge, the AP functionality can be disabled so that no wireless client can associate with the AP.

The RF type of the WLAN interface can be configured to work with IEEE 802.11b only (B Only), IEEE 802.11g only (G Only), B WIFI mode (for internal usage), or mixed mode (Mixed—802.11g and 802.11b simultaneously).

The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore, you must choose an appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. The SSID of a wireless client computer and the SSID of the AP must be identical for them to communicate with each other.

If you experience RF interference, you may want to reduce the Data rate to ensure a more reliable wireless transmission. In most cases, leave the setting to Auto.

The transmit power of the RF module of the AWK-1100 can be adjusted so that the RF coverage of the AWK-1100 can be changed.

Link Integrity

When the Ethernet LAN interface has been detected to be disconnected from the wired network, all currently associated wireless clients are disassociated by the AP and no wireless client can associate with the AP. The detection mechanism is based on pinging the IP address specified in the Reference host.
