ESSID The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier) identifies your wireless network. Enter
a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters including spaces; alphabetic
characters are case-sensitive) for the wireless LAN.
Hide ESSID Select Yes to hide the ESSID from unauthorized individuals scanning for ESSIDs
using a site survey tool or select No to make it visible to wireless devices in range.
Channel ID The range of radio frequencies used by wireless devices is called a channel.
Select a wireless channel if interference from other nearby devices is a problem. The
ZyXEL Device and other wireless devices in your wireless network must use the
same channel.
RTS/CTS
Threshold
The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) is for enabling RTS/CTS.
Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this value to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size
turns off RTS/CTS. Setting this value to zero turns on RTS/CTS.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a new value between 0
and 2432.
Fragmentation
Threshold
This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a value between 256 and
2432.
