Set each of the parameters on this page as desired, and click
Apply. The parameters are described in more detail below
SSID:
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a 32-character, case-
sensitive field that identifies your WNP1000 Wireless AP and
wireless network to wireless clients that support the
IEEE802.11b wireless standard. You should use a unique SSID
to control access to your private network, and to prevent
conflicts with other wireless networks that may be nearby. The
WNP1000 Wireless AP is configured with a default SSID of
UNIDEN.
Note: All clients on the same wireless LAN must have the
same SSID. If you change the SSID on the WNP1000
Wireless AP, you must change the SSID for each
computer and/or device you are wanting to connect
using the 802.11b wireless network.
Channel:
Channels are the spectrum range where your wireless signals
are transmitted. The default is channel 1. However, to
maximize performance for your wireless network, another
channel may give you better performance. Select the channel
you wish to use from the pull-down menu.
Note: For better performance, avoid using channels occupied
by other AP’s in the area.
