Country
– Shows that this bridge is set for the standards of the chosen country.
This item is read only.
Wireless network name (SSID)
– is a unique name for your wireless network [1-32
symbols]. The default SSID is “3Com” but you should change this to a personal
wireless network name. The SSID is important to identify bridge to bridge

bridges must have their client SSID settings configured and must use the same
SSID in the same channel.
Radio Channel
– select the channel that the bridge uses to transmit and receive
information. Multiple frequency channels are used to avoid interference between
nearby bridges/devices. If you wish to operate more than one bridge in overlapping

chosen channels. For example, for three bridges in close proximity choose
channels 1, 6 and 11.
Broadcast SSID
– when selected, your bridge’s SSID is visible in the networks list
while scanning the available networks for wireless client. When unselected, the
bridge’s SSID is not visible in the available network list.
