3. Making Configuration
AirLive Air3GII User’s Manual 31
Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items.
1. Wireless Module: You can enable or disable wireless function.
2. Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN).
Client stations can roam freely over this device and other Access Points that have
the same Network ID. (The factory default setting is “default”)
3. SSID Broadcast: The router will broadcast beacons that have some information,
including SSID so that wireless clients can know how many AP devices by scanning
the network. Therefore, if this setting is configured as “Disable”, the wireless clients
can not find the device from beacons.
4. Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the
Regulatory Domain. The factory default setting is as follow: channel 1~11 for North
America. (Channel 1~13 for European (ETSI); channel1~ 14 for Japan).
5. Wireless Mode: Choose “B/G mixed”, “B only”, “G only”, “N only”, “G/N mixed” or
“B/G/N mixed”. The factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed”.
6. Authentication mode: You may select one of authentication to secure your wireless
network: Open Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2,
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.
Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an
authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC
address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router
containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is
if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.
Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the
authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key
is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared
key authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN environments.
Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.
