LABEL DESCRIPTION
Network Name
(SSID) The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which
a wireless device is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32
printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN.
Note: If you are configuring the P-660HN-F1A from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the P-
660HN-F1A’s SSID or security settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you press
Apply to confirm.
You must then change the wireless settings of your
computer to match the P-660HN-F1A’s new settings.
Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame
so a station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site
survey tool.
Security Mode See Section 8.2 on page 145 for more details about this field.
MAC Filter This shows whether the wireless devices with the MAC addresses
listed are allowed or denied to access the P-660HN-F1A using this
SSID.
Edit Click this to go to the MAC Filter screen to configure MAC filter
settings. See
Section 8.3.2 on page 155 for more details.
QoS This shows whether QoS (Quality of Service) is activated or the
priority level for wireless traffic with this SSID. Select a priority level
from the drop-down list box. Choices are None, Default, Highest,
High, Middle and Low.
Select None to disable QoS.
Select Default to have the P-660HN-F1A automatically give traffic a
priority level according to the ToS value in the IP header of packets
it sends. WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service) gives high
priority to voice and video, which makes them run more smoothly.
Highest - Typically used for voice or video that should be high-
quality.
High - Typically used for voice or video that can be medium-quality.
Middle - Typically used for applications that do not fit into another
priority. For example, Internet surfing.
Low - Typically used for non-critical “background” applications, such
as large file transfers and print jobs that should not affect other
applications.
