The default is 2.4GHz (B+G) mode.
SSID (Network ID): Provide SSID for wireless client survey and connection. The SSID
differentiates one WLAN from another; therefore, all access points and all devices
attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is
case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. A device will not be permitted to
join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also referred to as a
network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.
In this mode, the SSID is provided for wireless client connection.
Channel Number: Allow user to set the channel manually or automatically. If set
channel manually, just select the channel you want to specify. If
“Auto”
is selected,
user can set the channel range to have Wireless Access Point automatically survey
and choose the channel with best situation for communication. The number of
channels supported depends on the region of this Access Point. All stations
communicating with the Access Point must use the same channel.
802.1d Spanning Tree: Spanning tree is to prevent bridge loop when there are
multiple active paths between network nodes. Bridge loop could cause connection fail
or broadcast storm. Spanning tree allows a network design to include spare (redundant)
links to provide automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of
bridge loops, or the need for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links.
AP MAC Address: Fill the MAC address of the remote WDS node which you want to
connect to.
Site Survey: Use this button to find out the remote WDS node and check the signal
strength. It helps to build up you WDS network correctly.
You can also use the Signal survey for alignment.
To do this,
1. Select the surveyed device in the list.
2. The
―Signal Survey‖ button then enabled.
