Figure 7-7. Wireless Settings
• Regulation Domain – Indicates the unit’s regulatory domain setting. Units
intended for use in the United States are configured to use only radio channels 1-11
at certain transmit power levels, as defined by FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) regulations. Setting this parameter to ETSI (Europe) or Japan allows
other appropriate channels and power levels to be used.
• Wlan Radio – Enables the wireless interface.
• ESSID – The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value as other
wireless devices in your network. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up
to 32 alphanumeric characters. (Default: PMG)
• AP Name – A descriptive name given to the unit for identification purposes on the
network.
• SSID Broadcast – Check this box to disable broadcasting the configured ESSID.
The Pocket VoIP Gateway is configured by default as an “open system,” which
broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured ESSID. Wireless clients with
a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the beacon, and automatically
set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the Pocket VoIP Gateway. When
disabled, the Pocket VoIP Gateway does not include its ESSID in beacon
messages. This provides a basic level of security, since wireless clients must be
pre-configured with the ESSID to connect to the Pocket VoIP Gateway.
• Operation Mode – Selects the operating mode for the 802.11g radio.
(Default: B/G Mixed Mode)
- B/G Mixed Mode : Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the
unit (up to 54 Mbps).
- G Only Mode : Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the unit (up to
54 Mbps).
