Option Description
Hide Access
Point Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by
wireless active scans. To check AP status in Windows XP, open
Network Connections

Available Network Connections . If the access point is hidden, it
will not be listed there. To connect a client to a hidden access point,
the station must add the access point manually to its wireless

Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Also, prevents one
wireless client communicating with another wireless client.

Forwarding Select the checkbox to enable this function.
SSID
[1-32
characters] Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set
Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to
access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user will not be
granted access.
BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic
Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the
BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access
Point); and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is
generated randomly.
