Expert Configuration

Access point settings This section provides an overview and allows you to configure the basic wireless networking parameters for your SpeedTouch™ wireless access point.

Following wireless access point settings can be viewed or configured:

Network Name (SSID):

The network name, also known as Service Set ID (SSID). For more information, see “ Network Name (SSID)” on page 165.

Rate:

Displays the current modulation rate in which the SpeedTouch™ is operating. Take into consideration that if the distance between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients increases the throughput decreases. Walls, closets and big metal objects have a negative influence.

Interoperability Mode

Channel Selection allows you to choose between:

Auto:

The best communication channel is automatically selected by the SpeedTouch™ (recommended setting). The Current Channel displays the channel currently in use.

A specific channel.

Regulatory Domain displays the access point’s Regulatory Domain.

Only stations with correct Network name (SSID) can connect:

If this check box is:

Cleared, the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its SSID and accepts every client.

Selected, the SpeedTouch™ does not broadcast its SSID and accepts only those clients who have the correct Network name (SSID).

Framebursting:

Allows you to enhance the performance of wireless networks by improving the efficiency between the client and the access point if you have mainly downstream traffic.

WMM:

WMM is enabled by default. Clear the check box to disable WMM.

Allow multicast frames sent to local clients.

Wireless interface enabled:

Allows you to enable/disable the wireless interface.
