DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

 

 

 

Hide ESSID

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes to hide the ESSID in the outgoing

No

 

beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the ESSID through passive

(default)

 

scanning.

 

Channel ID

This allows you to set the operating frequency/channel depending on your

CH01 2412

 

particular region. Use the [SPACE BAR] to select a channel.

MHz

 

• CH01 2412 MHz / CH02 2417 MHz ~ CH11 2462 MHz (North

 

 

America/FCC)

 

 

• CH01 2412 MHz / CH02 2417 MHz ~ CH13 2472 MHz (Europe CE/

 

 

ETSI)

 

 

• CH01 2412 MHz / CH02 2417 MHz ~ Ch14 2484 MHz (Japan)

 

 

• CH10 2457 MHz / CH11 2462 MHz (Spain)

 

 

• CH10 2457 MHz / CH11 2462 MHz ~ CH13 2472 MHz (France)

 

RTS

(Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS

2432

Threshold

handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the

(default)

 

RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum

 

 

MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake.

 

 

Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a

 

 

value between 0 and 2432.

 

Frag.

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for

2432

Threshold

directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.

(default)

 

Enter a value between 256 and 2432.

 

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm…” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.

The ZyWALL LAN Ethernet and wireless ports can transparently communicate witheach other (transparent bridge).
