802.11b/g mode: This is the default mode. Use this mode if you want to support a mix of 802.11b and
802.11g devices.
In general, you should use either 802.11g only mode (if you want to support 802.11g devices only) or
802.11b/g mode to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.

Primary Network Name (SSID):
Enter a Network Name (between 1 and 32 characters long) for the
wireless network. You must configure each wireless client to use this name as well. Note that the
AirSPEED AP542 supports up to 16 SSIDs and VLANs per wireless interface (radio). Please refer to
Performing Advanced Configuration
for detailed information on configuring multiple SSIDs, VLANs, and
security modes.
NOTE
Do not use quotation marks (single or double) in the Network Name; this will cause the AP to misinterpret the
name.

Auto Channel Select:
By default, the AP scans the area for other Access Points and selects the best
available communication channel, either a free channel (if available) or the channel with the least amount
of interference. Remove the check mark to disable this option.
See
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
for more information and
Radio Specifications
for a list of available channels.

Frequency Channel:
When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this field is read-only and displays the
Access Point’s current operating channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the
Access Point’s channel. If you decide to manually set the unit’s channel, ensure that nearby devices do
not use the same frequency. Available channels vary based on regulatory domain. See
Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS)

Radio Specifications
for a list of available channels.
