EnGenius Technologies EOA7530 - Manual (Page 29)

5.2.2 Access Point Mode (5 GHz)
Radio Select the appropriate radio button to enable or disable the EOA7530’s wireless
functions.
Enable SSID# The EOA7530 supports four SSIDs. Each SSID can be configured to use a different
VLAN tag.
ESSID ESSID is the name of your WLAN. In an area where more than one WLAN is present,
using a different ESSID allows you to separate the traffic. Any device you want to
participate in a particular WLAN must use the same ESSID. The default ESSID is
EnGenius. After specifying each ESSID, specify the VLAN ID for each ESSID.
5G Wireless Settings
Band Select the IEEE 802.11 standard operating in your network environment.
Channel You should not need to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference
or are setting up the EOA7530 near another Access Point.
Data Rate Shows the available transmit data rate of the WLAN. The data rate affects
throughput. If you select a low data rate value, for example, the throughput is
reduced but the transmission distance increases.
Auto Channel By default, this option is disabled. If you click Enable, the EOA7530 searches all valid
channels, then decides which channel is “cleanest” for transmissions and change to
that channel automatically.
Apply / Cancel Click Apply to apply the changes or Cancel to discard your changes and return to the
previous settings.
Note: If you do not have experience setting data rates, do not change the default setting.
