set to the same as that used by the access point to which it is
linked. (Range: 1-11; Default: 1)
Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically
select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: Enabled)
SSID Broadcast – The SSID broadcast can be disabled to
prevent access to clients without a pre-configured SSID. When
disabled, the access point will not include its SSID in beacon
messages. Nor will it respond to probe requests from clients that
do not include the correct SSID. (Default: Enabled)
Select Antenna Mode – Specifies whether the antenna used will
be automatically selected based on best signal reception (i.e.,
Diversity mode), or will be fixed to use an optional high-gain
antenna attached to the right side of the access point. Use the
SMC2555W-JMPRCBL jumper cable to connect the high-gain
antenna. (Default: Diversity)
Working Mode – The access point can be configured to support
both 802.11b and 802.11g clients simultaneously, 802.11b clients
only, or 802.11g clients only. (Default: 802.11b and 802.11g)
Maximum Supported Rate – The maximum data rate at
which a client can connect to the access point. The
maximum transmission distance is affected by the data
rate. The lower the data rate, the longer the transmission
distance. (Default: 54 Mbps)
For a description of the remaining configuration items, see
“Radio Settings (802.11a)” on page 5-41.
