Access Point
When configuring the unit to operate as an access point, you need to proceed
through the following two steps:
1. Settings – The Settings page takes you through the SSID (Service Set
Identifier) configuration.
Figure 2-16. Access Point Settings
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) – The ESSID is a name that uniquely
identifies the wireless network provided by the Pocket VoIP Gateway. Clients
that want to connect to the wireless network must set their SSID to the same as
that of the Pocket VoIP Gateway.
SSID Broadcast – Check this box to disable broadcasting the configured
ESSID. The Pocket VoIP Gateway is configured by default as an “open
system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured ESSID.
Wireless clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the
beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the
Pocket VoIP Gateway. When disabled, the Pocket VoIP Gateway does not
include its ESSID in beacon messages. This provides a basic level of security,
since wireless clients must be pre-configured with the ESSID to connect to the
Pocket VoIP Gateway.
2. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) – The VoIP page allows you to configure
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) parameters for enabling Internet telephony.
VoIP service providers operate SIP “proxy servers” that allow you to register
your Pocket VoIP Gateway on their system so that you can make telephone
calls over the Internet. Your VoIP service provider will provide you with the
connection details that need to be set up on the Pocket VoIP Gateway to be
able to use their service.
