Operating Instructions

Data Entry Field

Wireless

Select a wireless network mode from Disable, "802.11b", "802.11b/g" or

Network Mode

"802.11g only".

 

• Select Disable when you do not want to send/receive wireless data.

 

• "802.11b" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. Compatible products

 

are abundant and low priced. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also

 

already widespread so it is useful when you want to use your other

 

wireless devices.

 

• "802.11b/g" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. It combines the

 

features of "802.11b" and "802.11g", and is compatible with both

 

wireless LAN specifications. It is also easy to introduce into existing

 

wireless environments.

 

• "802.11g only" can only send/receive data to and from the 802.11g. If

 

this product's data sending/receiving mode is set to "802.11g only", it

 

does not support "802.11b/g" integration mode, but the original

 

802.11g's capabilities are realized. It is faster and reaches further than

 

"802.11b/g", so is good to use when sending/receiving data between

 

floors.

 

• When using "802.11g only", if other 2.4.GHz band wireless devices

 

(including the "802.11b" wireless device) exist, the data speed is

 

reduced.

 

 

SSID

A name is given to the network on a wireless LAN. This name is called

 

SSID.

 

The SSID can be set on each device connected to the wireless LAN, and

 

data can only be sent/received to and from devices with the same SSID.

 

Enter the SSID following the guidelines below. (The device-specific SSID is

 

already entered in the default settings. It is displayed on the rear of this

 

product.)

 

• It is case-sensitive. (e.g. 'ABC' and 'abc' are recognized as 2 different

 

names.)

 

• Enter no more than 32 characters.

 

 

Stealth SSID

For the wireless LAN device to detect the network, there is a function

 

whereby the SSID, which is a network identifier, is sent out to surrounding

 

devices at regular time intervals. If Disable is selected, the wireless LAN

 

device can detect the network easily. However, unauthorized users can also

 

find the network and try to connect to it, so there a possible security

 

weakness. By selecting Enable on the stealth SSID function, it is possible to

 

use this product to make the network hard to detect for unauthorized users.

 

When Enable is set, connection through the ANY key can be denied. The

 

default is set to Enable.
