Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

SSID

 

The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) is the name of the wireless network.

 

 

The default SSID is V54, but it is strongly recommended that you

 

 

change your SSID. If there are other wireless networks in your area,

 

 

you should give your wireless network a unique name. The SSID can

 

 

consist of up to 32 characters.

 

 

 

Wireless mode

 

The wireless mode options are:

 

 

• 2.4GHz 54Mbps (802.11g&b) - allows both 802.11g- and

 

 

802.11b-compliant devices to join the network. This is the

 

 

default setting.

 

 

 

Country Code

 

Sets your country or region code. Selecting the incorrect country or

 

 

region may result in violation of applicable law. The selectable

 

 

countries or regions are United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and

 

 

Japan.

 

 

NOTE – For MF2501 Adapters shipped in the United States, the

 

 

country code cannot be modified. The country code is pre-defined

 

 

for United States only.

 

 

 

Advanced Setting

 

This button provides access to the advanced wireless settings.

 

 

Advanced wireless settings are for advanced configuration or testing

 

 

purposes only.

 

 

Changing the advanced settings may negatively affect the operation

 

 

of the MF2501 Adapter and is not recommended.

 

 

 

Security

 

The wireless security options are:

 

 

• Disabled: This setting disables all encryption, so traffic is sent

 

 

in the clear. This setting is not recommended.

 

 

• WEP: This setting enables Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP

 

 

Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption provides

 

 

sufficient security in most cases.

 

 

• WPA-PSK:Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key

 

 

(WPA-PSK). Each packet of information is encrypted with a

 

 

different key. Provides very strong security, but may not be

 

 

supported on older systems.

 

 

 

Edit Security Setting

 

Click this button to edit the security setting of WEP keys or the

 

 

WPA-PSK passphrase.
