Netopia 2200 manual Wireless Settings supported models

Wireless Settings (supported models)

set wireless option ( on off )

Administratively enables or disables the wireless interface.

set wireless network-id ssid { network_name }

Specifies the wireless network id for the Gateway. A unique ssid is generated for each Gateway. You must set your wireless clients to connect to this exact id, which can be changed to any 32-character string.

set wireless auto-channel mode { off at-startup continuous }

Specifies the wireless AutoChannel Setting for 802.11G models. AutoChannel is a feature that allows the Netopia Gateway to determine the best channel to broadcast automatically. For details, see “Advanced” on page 57.

set wireless default-channel { 1...14 }

Specifies the wireless 2.4GHz sub channel on which the wireless Gateway will operate. For US operation, this is limited to channels 1–11. Other countries vary; for example, Japan is channel 14 only. The default channel in the US is 6. Channel selection can have a signifi- cant impact on performance, depending on other wireless activity in proximity to this AP.

Channel selection is not necessary at the clients; clients will scan the available channels and look for APs using the same ssid as the client.

set wireless network-id closed-system { on off }

When this setting is enabled, a client must know the ssid in order to connect or even see the wireless access point. When disabled, a client may scan for available wireless access points and will see this one. Enable this setting for greater security. The default is on.
