Network Mode Select a wireless network mode from Disable, "802.11b", "802.11b/g" or
"802.11g only".
•
Select Disable when you do not want to send/receive wireless data.
• "802.11b" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. Compatible products
are abundant and low priced. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also
already widespread so it is useful when you want to use your other
wireless devices.
• "802.11b/g" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. It combines the
features of "802.11b" and "802.11g", and is compatible with both
wireless LAN specifications. It is also easy to introduce into existing
wireless environments.
• "802.11g only" can only send/receive data to and from the 802.11g. If
this product's data sending/receiving mode is set to "802.11g only", it
does not support "802.11b/g" integration mode, but the original
802.11g's capabilities are realized. It is faster and reaches further than
"802.11b/g", so is good to use when sending/receiving data between
floors.
•
When using "802.11g only", if other 2.4.GHz band wireless devices
(including the "802.11b" wireless device) exist, the data speed is
reduced.
SSID A name is given to the network on a wireless LAN. This name is called
SSID.
The SSID can be set on each device connected to the wireless LAN, and
data can only be sent/received to and from devices with the same SSID.
Enter the SSID following the guidelines below. (The device-specific SSID is
already entered in the default settings. It is displayed on the rear of this
product.)
•
It is case-sensitive. (e.g. 'ABC' and 'abc' are recognized as 2 different
names.)
• Enter no more than 32 characters.
Stealth SSID For the wireless LAN device to detect the network, there is a function
whereby the SSID, which is a network identifier, is sent out to surrounding
devices at regular time intervals. If Disable is selected, the wireless LAN
device can detect the network easily. However, unauthorized users can also
find the network and try to connect to it, so there a possible security
weakness. By selecting Enable on the stealth SSID function, it is possible to
use this product to make the network hard to detect for unauthorized users.
When Enable is set, connection through the ANY key can be denied. The
default is set to Enable.
