Field Description
Field Definition/Description
Enable AP
Enables/disables the access point.
Primary SSID
The primary service set identifier of the AP, which is the only SSID your AP
broadcasts (if hidden SSID is disabled). The default is TI-AR7WRD and you
can assign a unique SSID to your AP. The SSID is up to 32 characters.
Hidden SSID
Enables/disables the hidden SSID feature. When hidden SSID is enabled,
the SSID is removed from the beacon frames the AP transmits, thus the AP
will not be seen by any other station.
VLAN ID
The VLAN ID for the primary SSID. By default, multiple SSID is disabled and
the VLAN ID of the primary SSID is 0. When you enable multiple SSID, you
are prompted to change the VLAN ID of the primary SSID to a unique value
between 1 - 4095. For more information on enabling multiple SSID, refer to
‘‘Multiple SSID’’.
Channel B/G
The channel on which the AP and the wireless stations communicate.
Different domains have different ranges of channels. For FCC in 2.4 GHz,
the default channel is 11.
