NAVIGATING THE WEB BROWSER INTERFACE

Wireless Channel: The radio channel through which a wireless

access point communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6)

Note: The available channel settings are limited by local regulations which determine the number of channels that are available.

USA: 1 ~ 11 channels

Europe: 1 ~ 13 channels

Japan: 1 ~ 14 channels

SSID: The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value

as other wireless devices in your network. (Default: ANY)

Note: The SSID is case-sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

Broadcast SSID: In Access Point Mode or Range Extender Mode, the SMC2671W can be enabled to broadcast the SSID on the wireless network for easy connection with client PCs.

(Default: Enable)

WEP Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/ decryption keys for a wireless access point and all of its wireless clients. The SMC2671W supports shared key encryption with key lengths of the 64-bit standard and 128-bit industry standard. The bit key must be in hexadecimal.

(0~9, A~F, e.g., D7 0A 9C 7F E5.)
