Table 43 Menu 3.5 Wireless LAN Setup

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
Name (SSID)	The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the AP to which the wireless stations associate.
	Wireless stations associating to the AP must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive
	name of up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters.
	This field is only available when you select Access Point or AP + Bridge in the Operating
	Mode field.
Hide Name (SSID)	Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes to hide the SSID in the outgoing data frame so an
	intruder cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
Channel ID	Press [SPACE BAR] to select a channel. This allows you to set the operating frequency/
	channel depending on your particular region.
RTS Threshold	Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0
	and 2432.
Frag. Threshold	This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and
	2432.
WEP Encryption	Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without
	any data encryption.
	Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Default Key	Enter the key number (1 to 4) in this field. Only one key can be enabled at any one time.
	This key must be the same on the G-1000 and the wireless stations to communicate.
