Configuring Advanced Settings
SSID
For the wireless network components to be able to communicate with one another, you
must use the same
(Service Set Identifier).
The default SSID for the router is
AIShamil
. For security reasons you should change this
SSID.
ì
Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case-sensitive. It can contain up
to 32 characters. Use a combination of letters, digits and special characters.
SSID broadcast
If this option is enabled, the router will send the SSID in all data transfers and the SSID
of the router will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case,
hackers could use the SSID to detect your network.
If
SSID broadcast
is deactivated, the SSID of the router will not be displayed. This
increases protection against unauthorised access to your wireless network. Make a note
of the SSID. You will need it to log on to the PC.
ì
Select
Off
to deactivate
SSID broadcast
.
To protect your wireless network, you should also enable encryption of data transmis-
sions (page 41).
Transmission mode
The IEEE 802.11g standard permits data transfer up to 54 Mbit/s, and the IEEE 802.11b
standard up to 11 Mbit/s. Choose
IEEE 802.11g only
to ensure the best possible data
transfer rates in your network. To operate clients with older wireless network adapters
in your network, select
IEEE 802.11b/g (mixed)
.
ì
Select the required transmission mode for your wireless network.
Sending power
ì
Select the required sending power for your device.
It is recommended that you select a sending power with a range to suit the spatial
environment of your local network. A much greater range makes it easier to eaves-
drop on your wireless data transfer.
ì
Click
OK
to apply the settings.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you have
entered the new SSID in them as well.
