DESCRIPTION

 

 

Operating Mode

Select the operating mode from the drop-down list. The options are Access Point,

 

Bridge/Repeater, AP+Bridge and MESSID.

Choose Channel

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

ID

To manually set the ZyAIR 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.

 

To have the ZyAIR automatically select a channel, click Scan instead.

 

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

 

 

Scan

Click this button to have the ZyAIR automatically scan for and select a channel with

 

the least interference.

RTS/CTS

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

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 800 and 2432.

Fragmentation

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

Threshold

messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value

 

between 800 and 2432.

SSID Profile

The SSID (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 SSID. Select an SSID Profile from the drop-down list box.

 

Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen.

 

Note: If you are configuring the ZyAIR from a computer connected to

 

the wireless LAN and you change the ZyAIR’s SSID or security

 

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 ZyAIR’s new settings.
