EKI-6310GN User Manual 34
This chapter describes Access Point configuration, including of Access Point, WDS
Access Point and WDS Repeater.
5.1 Access Point
In Access Point Mode, the EKI-6310GN connects your wireless devices together,
and it also allows a connected wired device to connect to your other devices wire-
lessly. This can be useful if you already had an existing Internet router that does not
have built-in wireless capabilities or used this to create a private wireless network
without Internet access so that your devices can securely connect to one another
without being exposed to the Internet or other computers.
5.1.1 Basic Wireless Settings
Figure 5.1 Basic Wireless Settings in AP mode
Wireless mode : You have three options (Access Point, WDS Access Point or WDS
Repeater)
Multiple SSID : Enable or Disable multiple SSIDs support. When you enable this
option, you will have maximum two SSIDs (Configure in 'SSID I' and 'SSID II').
Country Code : The availability of some specific channels and/or operational fre-
quency bands is country dependent.
Frequency (Channel) : Channel varies much as the available band differs from coun-
try to country. Select a proper operating channel in the drop-down list according to
your situation. Site Survey: You can scan the available access point in site survey
action.
Network Mode : Four levels are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. The
last one can enhance data throughput, but it takes more bandwidth, thus it might
cause potential interference.
Extension Channel : This is to avoid conflict with other wireless network and boost
the ability of your device to catch all 802.11g transmissions. However, it may
decrease wireless network performance. Compared to CTS-Self; the transmission
amount of CTS-RTS is much lower.
Distance : To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distance, the EKI-
6310GN can automatically adjust proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of
the two nodes.
ACK/CTS Timeout : ACK/CTS timeout will be adjusted by distance automatically
BG Protection Mode : The time period for the IP address lease
