Access Point Setup Elaboration of Compex WP11B+
ESSID
This is an identifier that the devices use to
associate with the access point. It helps to
distinguish between multiple wireless
networks in the same vicinity.
Channel
The DSSS technology divides the 2.4GHz
band into 14 frequency channels. As
mentioned earlier, this is dependent on the
country’s regulation.
Tx Rate
When fully auto is selected, Compex
WP11B+ will automatically adjust the
transfer rate to the link strength. If the link
is weak, the transfer rate will be adjusted
from 11 to 5.5 to 2 to 1 Mbps. You can also
fix the transfer rate at 11, 5.5, 2 or 1 Mbps.
For fixed rate, once the transfer rate cannot
be reached, the link will be disconnected.
RTS Threshold
The RTS Threshold limits the length of the
RTS frame that is used to initiate a
transmission. Please do not change this field
unless you are familiar with IEEE 802.11
standard.
Frag Threshold
Fragment Threshold limits the maximum
frame to be transmitted. Please do not
change this field unless you are familiar
with IEEE 802.11 standard.
Access Point Name
If you have a few wireless access
points in your LAN, it will be good
that you give a name so that it will
be easier to identify the various
access points.
Access Control
Access Control allows you to set up
Pseudo VLAN for wireless clients to
have the capability to communicate with
one another, or set as Per Node
(maximum of 10 nodes) or Tag VLAN
which extends Pseudo VLAN feature to
the wired network.
WEP Encryption Method
If the WEP encryption is
enabled, only devices with the
same encryption key can
communicate with each other.
