The default is 2.4GHz (B+G) mode.

Ø

SSID (Network ID): Provide SSID for wireless client survey and connection. The SSID

differentiates one WLAN from another; therefore, all access points and all devices

attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is

case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. A device will not be permitted to

join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also referred to as a

network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.

In this mode, the SSID is provided for wireless client connection.

Ø Channel Number: Allow user to set the channel manually or automatically. If set

channel manually, just select the channel you want to specify. If

“Auto”

is selected,

user can set the channel range to have Wireless Access Point automatically survey

and choose the channel with best situation for communication. The number of

channels supported depends on the region of this Access Point. All stations

communicating with the Access Point must use the same channel.

Ø 802.1d Spanning Tree: Spanning tree is to prevent bridge loop when there are

multiple active paths between network nodes. Bridge loop could cause connection fail

or broadcast storm. Spanning tree allows a network design to include spare (redundant)

links to provide automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of

bridge loops, or the need for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links.

Ø AP MAC Address: Fill the MAC address of the remote WDS node which you want to

connect to.

Ø Site Survey: Use this button to find out the remote WDS node and check the signal

strength. It helps to build up you WDS network correctly.
