The WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists between the SpeedTouch™ and wireless clients, a name must be given to allow unique identification of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Network Name, also known as Service Set ID (SSID). Wireless clients must be configured for the same Network Name in order to be able to communicate with other clients on the (W)LAN - via the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point.

To change the Network Name (SSID):

1Type a Network Name of your choice.

2Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.

By default the access point broadcasts its SSID and accepts every client. However, for security reasons you are able to configure not to broadcast its SSID and to accept only those clients who have exactly the same SSID, as configured on the SpeedTouch™

To change the Network Name broadcasting configuration:

1Select Only stations with correct Network Name (SSID) can connect to disable Network Name broadcasting.

2Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.

When you enable this option, the SSID will not be broadcasted. The SpeedTouch™ wireless network will no longer be visible in the list of available networks of your wireless client.

By default the interoperability mode allows for both IEEE 802.11g complaint wireless clients and IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless clients to connect to the SpeedTouch™.

To change the interoperability mode:

1Select the desired option:

802.11g and b to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant wireless clients to connect to the SpeedTouch™

802.11g only to allow only IEEE802.11g compliant wireless clients

2Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.

By default the SpeedTouch™ chooses its radio channel automatically at start-up of the access point on basis of the least interference with other access points.

To update the channel:

1Click update to let the SpeedTouch™ re-evaluate the aerial conditions to base the new channel selection on. Your changes will immediately be applied.

Wireless associated clients always follow the access point's radio channel selection. They will change their channel into that of the new updated channel selection.

To configure a fixed channel:

1In the Channel Selection list, click the desired channel. Be aware of your region limitations.

2Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.

To return to auto mode:

1In the Channel Selection list, click auto.

2Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.
