WLAN Setup

You are now ready to begin setting up the wireless portion of your network. Click WLAN Setup on the menu, and the following page will appear.

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.
