(2) SSID .................................. An access point and a client (slave) have an SSID as a wireless network
name to identify a communication partner (Factory Shipment Status:
omronwe70wlan).
Wireless LAN devices with different SSIDs in the same group cannot
communicate with each other.
You can enter the desired alphanumeric characters in SSID (within 31
characters) with the attention for capitalization.
* SSID and ESSID have the same meaning.
Some wireless LAN devices other than a wireless unit may call this ESSID.
(3) Communicating unit's MAC Address
......................................... Indicates a wireless module MAC address of a client (slave).
Clicking <Get from PC> automatically acquires and displays PC's MAC
address. To get an address from PC, you must open a setup screen on
PC wired to a client (slave). If you open a client (slave) setup screen on
PC connected to an access point, communication becomes unavailable.
If it is connected to PLC, PLC's MAC address is acquired.
(Factory shipment setting: Wireless module MAC address)
(4) Communications method You can specify wireless LAN standard (802.11a/802.11g) for a wireless
unit. (Factory Shipment Status: 802.11a)
* 802.11a and 802.11g (including 802.11b) can be specified at the same time.
* If 802.11a and 802.11g are configured and "Auto" is specified for [Baud Rate], connection
will be made to an access point with better radio wave status where 802.11a/b/g are used
at the same time.
(5) Baud rate ......................... Use the minimum speed for a specified communication method in a sys-
tem design phase. (6M for 802.11a and 1M for 11 b/g)
Even if communication is available in system verification while peripheral
equipment is not operating, a timeout error may occur when a communi-
cation environment get worsened. Specify "Auto" for actual operation.
Specifying "Auto" automatically switches communication speed to one
specified in [Communication method] even when communication
becomes unstable due to environment changes.
(Factory Shipment Status: Auto)
Baud rate depends on a mode specified in [Communication method].
If an unavailable baud rate is set, operation will be made with "Auto"
(Factory Shipment Status).
* If "802.11g" or "802.11a" is specified, 54/48/36/24/18/12/9/6Mbps are the rate supported
when other setting than "Auto" (Factory Shipment Status) is set.
* If "802.11b" is specified, 11/5.5/2/1Mbps are the rate supported when other setting than
"Auto" (Factory Shipment Status) is set.
* If "802.11a" is specified and [Baud rate] is set to either of 11/5.5/2/1Mbps, operation will
be made with transmission rate as "Auto" (Factory Shipment Status) because the baud
rate setting is unmatched with "802.11a".
* To communicate with an access point dedicated to "802.11b", specify either of Auto
(Factory Shipment Status)/11/5.5/2/1Mbps.
(6) Transmitter output level .... You can specify wireless transmission power for a wireless unit.
Selection is available from high/middle/low (3 levels). (Factory Shipment
Status: High)
A wireless communication range of a wireless unit (see "1-1. Features",
"Wireless communication distance" (P.1-3)) can be achieved when the
transmission power level is "High".
* If an access point supports
802.11b only, specify
802.11g.
