SSID
•
If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identi-
fier).
•
To communicate, all Wireless stations should use the same
SSID/ESSID.

Channel No.
This selection determines which operating frequency will be used. The
channel list changes according to the selected region.
Select the desired channel. Adjacent Access Points should use different
channels to avoid interference.
AutoLink
Auto Link is a new feature integrated in PLANEX GW-NS54GMZ
that offers users a simple way to configure a BLW-54PM in conjunc-
tion with the Configuration Utility.
Broadcast SSID
If Enabled, the SSID will broadcast its name to all Wireless Stations.
Stations which have no SSID (or a
null
value) can then adopt the
correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.
