set to the same as that used by the access point to which it is

linked. (Range: 1-11; Default: 1)

Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically

select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Enabled)

SSID Broadcast – The SSID broadcast can be disabled to

prevent access to clients without a pre-configured SSID. When

disabled, the access point will not include its SSID in beacon

messages. Nor will it respond to probe requests from clients that

do not include the correct SSID. (Default: Enabled)

Select Antenna Mode – Specifies whether the antenna used will

be automatically selected based on best signal reception (i.e.,

Diversity mode), or will be fixed to use an optional high-gain

antenna attached to the right side of the access point. Use the

SMC2555W-JMPRCBL jumper cable to connect the high-gain

antenna. (Default:Diversity)

Working Mode – The access point can be configured to support

both 802.11b and 802.11g clients simultaneously, 802.11b clients

only, or 802.11g clients only. (Default: 802.11b and 802.11g)

Maximum Supported Rate – The maximum data rate at

which a client can connect to the access point. The

maximum transmission distance is affected by the data

rate. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission

distance. (Default: 54 Mbps)

For a description of the remaining configuration items, see

“Radio Settings (802.11a)” on page 5-41.
