Wireless LAN Settings
The Wireless LAN Settings section allows you to specify the Network
Name or SSID (Service Set Identifier). Multiple wireless networks
sometimes exist. Specifying the network name allows your ESR901WB
serial server to connect to and associate with a specific network. If the
network name is left blank the serial server will connect to the first available
network.
Figure 9. Network Configuration, Wireless LAN Settings
By making the appropriate selection you can configure your serial server to
• Connect to any available wireless network
• Connect to access point (infrastructure) networks only
• Connect to peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) networks only
Select a Country from the dropdown list to restrict the channel settings to
the legal set for that country.
Select a specific wireless Channel to restrict the serial server to a specific
channel. Select Auto-Scan to allow the serial server to scan all frequencies
until it finds an available access point to wireless network it can join.
Select Enable Short Preamble if your wireless network supports this
feature. Short preambles can boost throughput.
