Using this option you can either view or modify the following parameters of the Wireless LAN
AP:
Access Point Name - The name of the AP.
SSID - It is an ASCII string, up to 32 characters, used to identify a
WLAN that prevents the unintentional merging of two co-
located WLANs. The ESSID value must be the same in all
stations and AP in the extended WLAN.
SSID Broadcasting - When checked the Access Point broadcasts the SSID to the
stations, if not checked then the stations must know the Access
Point SSID in advance.
Channel - Select the channel to be used. Depending on the Regulatory
Domain of the AP the number of available channels can be 1 - 14.
Fragmentation Threshold - The size at which packets will be fragmented. Choose a setting
within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
RTS Threshold - Minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request To Send). For
packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the
packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. This is the option
for the RTS Threshold activation.
