Disable SSID
broadcast
(AP only)
This should be used to prevent unwanted eavesdroppers from detecting the radio
network system address (SSID) by passively listening to beacon transmissions from
the access point. When disabled, access points will not transmit the system address
openly in beacon messages. This is particularly useful in unencrypted radio networks.
3 Address Mode
Allows compatibility with Layer 3 Bridge devices. See “3.6 Compatibility.”

Channel Selection
245U-E-G Modem (2.4 GHz 802.11b/g)
Selection is made by picking one of the channels from the drop-down channel list. If Auto is selected the modem
will select the best channel based on signal level and channel density. Channel can also be manually selected by
picking the channel number from the list. Available channels 1-11 are 20 MHz, channels 41-51 are 10 MHz and
channels 21-31 are 5 MHz. Turbo channels can are also be selected depending on the country.
Figure 37 2.4GHz Channel Selection
245U-E-A Modem (5 GHz 802.11a)
You can select an individual channel from the list, keeping in mind that the channel will have some transmit and/or
DFS constraints, as indicated in “3.1 Selecting a Channel” and “Appendix C - CHANNELS.” If using the Auto mode,
you will need to select the appropriate groups that you wish to use and the modem will automatically select an
available channel from within the selected groups.
Figure 38 5 GHz Channel Selection
NOTE Some of the groups use Dynamic Frequency Selections (DFS). If using these DFS channels you
need to be aware that there will be a minimum 60-second scan or monitoring that the radio must perform
to check that there are no military or commercial radars using the same frequency. If a radar is detected,
the radio must select another random channel and repeat the 60-second scan or monitoring.
