9.2.2.1
WiFi AP configuration
The page with the configuration of the WiFi access point is displayed by selecting
WiFi AP
item in
Configuration
section.
Item
Desciption
Enable WiFi AP If this item is checked, WiFi AP is enabled.
SSID
Identifier of WiFi network.
Broadcast SSID Method of broadcasting the unique identifier of SSID network in bea-
con frame and type of response to a request for sending the beacon
frame.
•
Enabled – SSID is broadcasted in beacon frame.
•
Zero length – Beacon frame does not include SSID. Requests for
sending beacon frame are ignored.
•
Clear – Every SSID character in beacon frame is replaced by 0.Origi-
nal length is kept. Requests for sending beacon frame are ignored.
Country code
Code of the country, where the router is used with WiFi. This code
must be entered in format
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
. If country code is not
specified and the router has implemented no system to determine this
code, “US” becomes the default country code.
If no country code is specified or the wrong country code is entered,
then it may come a pass a breach of regulatory rules for the using of
frequency bands in the particular country.
HW model
HW mode of WiFi standard that will be supported by WiFi access
point.
•
IEE 802.11b
•
IEE 802.11b+g
•
IEE 802.11b+g+n
Channel
The channel on which the WiFi AP is transmitting.
BW 40 MHz
The choice for HW mode 802.11n that allows using two standard
20MHz channels simultaneously.
WMM
Basic QoS for WiFi networks is enabled by checking this item. This
version does not guarantee network throughput. It is suitable for sim-
ple applications that require QoS.
Authentication
Access control and authorization of users in the WiFi network.
•
Open – Authentication is not required. Free access point.
•
Shared – Base authentication using WEP key.
•
WPA-PSK – Authentication using better authentication methods
PSK-PSK.
•
WPA2-PSK – WPA-PSK using new encryption AES.
Encryption
Type of data encryption in the WiFi network
•
None – No data encryption.
•
WEP – Encryption using static WEP keys. This encryption can be
used for Shared authentication.
•
TKIP – Dynamic encryption keys management, that can be used for
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication.
•
AES – Improved encryption used for WPA2-PSK authentication.
