ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentification) The ESSID identifies the Service Set
the station is to connect to. Wireless clients associating to the Access
Point must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Wireless
Hide ESSID
Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes to hide the ESSID in the outgoing
beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the ESSID through passive
scanning. No
(default)
Channel ID This allows you to set the operating frequency/channel depending on your
particular region. Use the [SPACE BAR] to select a channel.

MHz
RTS
Threshold (Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS
handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the
RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum
MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a
value between 0 and 2432. 2432
(default)
Frag.
Threshold The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for
directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Enter a value between 256 and 2432. 2432
