DESCRIPTION

 

 

ESSID

(Extended Service Set IDentity) The ESSID is a unique name to identify the Prestige in the

 

wireless LAN. Wireless clients associating to an Access Point (the Prestige) must have the same

 

ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters).

 

 

Hide ESSID

Select Yes to hide the ESSID so a wireless client cannot obtain the ESSID through passive

 

scanning.

 

Select No to make the ESSID visible so a wireless client can obtain the ESSID through passive

 

scanning.

 

 

Channel ID

The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices is called a channel. Set

 

the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.

 

Select a channel from the drop-down list box. Adjacent APs with overlapping coverage areas

 

should use different channels to reduce crosstalk. Crosstalk occurs when the radio signals from

 

access points overlap and interfere with one another degrading performance.
