Wireless Configuration

User Guide	VersaLink™ Gateway (Model 327W)

	Wireless Configuration
Wireless Operation	Factory Default = Enabled.
	When disabled, no stations will be able to connect to the VersaLink.
Network Name (SSID)	This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect to
	the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP card or be set to
	“ANY.”
Channel	Factory Default = 6
	The AP transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose
	from is pre-programmed into the AP card. Station cards do not have to be set to the
	same channel as the AP; the Stations scan all channels, and look for an AP to connect
	to.
Mode	Factory Default = Mixed
	This setting allows station to communicate with VersaLink.
	Possible Responses:
	Mixed: Station using any of the 802.11b, 802.11b+, and 802.11g rates can
	communicate with VersaLink.
	11b only: Communication with VersaLink is limited to 802.11b
	11b+: Stations using any of the 802.11b and 802.11b+ rates can communicate with
	VersaLink
	11g only: Communication with VersaLink is limited to 802.11g

4x Support	Factory Default = Disabled
	When selected, this enables/disables the 4X option.
	If enabled, 4X support provides additional algorithms for increased throughput. The
	station cards must also support this option.
Hide SSID	Factory Default = Disabled.
	If Enabled, VersaLink will not bradcast the SSID. Stations must configure the SSID to
	match the Network Name (SSID) to connect to VersaLink.

If you click save in the Wireless Configuration screen, the following pop-up will be displayed. Click OK to save the settings.
