NDC comm NWH660 manual AP Alias Name, Domain Name, Transmission Rate, Basic Rates, Channel Number

AP Alias Name	Assigns the AP a unique human-friendly name
	that allows the AP to be easily identified.
Domain Name	This is commonly called the domain name but
(SSID)	is defined in the IEEE 802.11b wireless
	standard as SSID. Stations and APs in the same
	group must use the same domain name.
Transmission Rate	Sets the transmission rate at which data packets
	are transmitted by the AP.
Basic Rates	This value determines the basic rates used and
	reported for this BSS by the AP. The highest
	rate specified will be the rate that the AP will
	use when transmitting broadcast/multicast and
	management frames. Available options are:
	• 1 and 2 Mbps
	• All (1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps)
Channel Number	You can change the channel number from here.
	Refer to the Appendix, page 73, for channels
	supported in each regulatory domain.
Secure SSID	Click to enable or disable the secure SSID
	option.
	• Blocks a connection request from a
	station without the correct SSID.
	• Hides the SSID in outgoing beacon
	frames. A site-survey tool will not
	find the SSID.
Regulatory Domain	Identifies the country where the AP is used.
	Each country has defined its available channel
	numbers and transmission power (see
	Appendix, page 73)
BSSID	This is the MAC ID of the AP
Firmware Version	The current AP firmware version

Important:

In a multiple cell network topology, overlapping and/or adjacent cells using different channels can operate simultaneously without interference if the frequency distance between the center frequencies is at least 30MHz. For example channels 1, 7, and 13 are non-overlapping frequency channels.
