DESCRIPTION

 

 

ESSID

The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a

 

wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP)

 

must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII

 

characters) for the wireless LAN.

 

Note: If you are configuring the G-1000 from a computer connected

 

to the wireless LAN and you change the G-1000’s ESSID or WEP

 

settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press

 

Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your

 

computer to match the G-1000’s new settings.

 

 

Hide ESSID

Select this check box to hide the ESSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station

 

cannot obtain the ESSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Choose Channel

Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.

ID

To manually set the G-1000 to use a channel, select a channel from the drop-down

 

list box. Click MAINTENANCE and then the Channel Usage tab to open the

 

Channel Usage screen to make sure the channel is not already used by another AP

 

or independent peer-to-peer wireless network.

 

Refer to the Wizard Setup chapter for more information on channels.

Threshold

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