After executing the “Add” com-
mand, you can set the following
parameters on the new tab that
appears:
·
Channel

frequencies (auto – 2.467 GHz)
available for selection.
·
Transmission power:
The
transmission power can be
adapted to the local conditions.
·

into a device configuration and
an interface configuration.
Network – WLAN settings – Device Configuration – General Settings
In addition the display of the sta-
tus, you can also specify the fol-
lowing settings here:
·
Enable/Disable WLAN
You can switch the WLAN off
when not needed it in order
to stop emissions and save
energy. The other two interfaces
are still available. You can also
implement the switch using
UDP (see “Controlling the AC
WLAN via UDP” on page 10).
·
Channel
The frequency ranges of adja-
cent channels overlap. For this
reason, select the channel so
that the frequencies of other
wireless devices in your vicin-
ity do not overlap (microwave
devices transmit at frequen-
cies near channels 9 and 10).
In Germany, 13 channels are
allowed, but only 11 chan-
nels are allowed in the USA,
for example. To ensure you
can select from a full range of
de vices, we recommend that
you use channels 1 through 11
only.
·
Transmission Power
You can change the range of
the AC WLAN by changing the
transmission power. You should
keep its coverage area as small
as possible.
Network – WLAN settings – Interface Configuration – General Settings
The settings possible in the inter-
face configuration are network-
specific settings:
· ESSID
The name of the network to
which the AC WLAN should
connect.
· Mode
Three modes are available for
selection: The Access Point,
Client (WDS), and Access Point
(WDS/Repeater) operating
modes (see “Function Types”
on page 3).
· Hide ESSID
Prevents unauthorized devices
from seeing your network.
The settings you have entered are
saved with “Save and Apply”.
