Gigaset WLAN Repeater/ englisch / A31008-E505-B105-1-7619 / advanced_config.fm / 08.03.2004
SSID Broadcast
ì
If you select
SSID visible
, the Gigaset WLAN Repeater will send the SSID in all data
transmissions, and the SSID will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network
adapter. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to your net-
work.
ì
If you select
SSID invisible
, your Gigaset WLAN Repeater's SSID will not be dis-
played. This increases the protection against unauthorised access to the wireless
network. However, you should make a note of the SSID. You will need it for a wire-
less connection between a PC and your Gigaset WLAN Repeater.
Connection speed
The transmission speed depends on the basic speed selected. The possible transmission
rates are shown in the pick list.
ì
You should leave the default set to
Automatic
.
Turbo mode
Your device has a turbo function to accelerate transmission. During transmission to the
communication partner, the transmission channel is used exclusively by one network
adapter, thus boosting the transmission performance.
ì
To use this function, you have to activate
Turbo mode
on all the devices participat-
ing in the transmission (i.e. including the network adapter you want to use for Turbo
Mode ).
Wireless mode
The
Wireless mode
shows whether the wireless transmission takes place solely as per
Standard IEEE 802.11g (54 Mbps) or whether the Standard IEEE 802.11b (11 Mbps) is
also to be supported (
Mixed
).
ì
If the devices in the wireless network use different standards, you should leave the
default setting
Mixed
unchanged.
Channel
Here you can select the wireless channel the Gigaset WLAN Repeater is to use to com-
municate with other wireless network components. You must use a common channel
so that the wireless network components can communicate with one another.
Please remember:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until the new
SSID has been entered in them as well.
Please remember:
The available channel settings may be restricted by your country's regulations. They
define the number of available channels. You should not change this setting unless
you have a good reason to do so.
