Configuring wireless access

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.1

Select the Reject clients using the network name ANY box
to reject connections from wireless clients with a network
name (ESSID) of “ANY.” If you clear this check box, the
Magnia SG20 accepts connections from wireless clients with
a network name of “ANY,” in addition to wireless clients with
a network name that matches the configured local network
name. (See

“Configuring wireless features” on page 39

for

information on configuring the local network name.)

The Distance between access points option prevents overlap
of access point service regions when multiple access points
are used. This value should not be changed unless the Magnia
SG20 is part of a network of wireless access points.

The Multicast Rate option applies to multicast
environments, which exist in some corporate networks that
have multiple access points. Typically, this value should not
be changed, as the default multicast rate of 2 Mbit/s is
supported by all wireless network interfaces. However, you
may want to use higher multicast rates when all of the
following conditions exist:

Your network environment includes wireless Turbo PC
Cards only

The physical placement of access points was based on the
objective of creating a high-performance wireless
infrastructure with maximum data throughput, regardless
of the total number of access points required to build
such a network

All locations where wireless devices are operated have
been verified with the Client Manager tool to provide a
communications quality that is rated “Excellent” or
“Good”
