System

Uptime

The time period since the device was up.

Firmware Version

The current version of the firmware installed in this device.

Wireless Configuration

Wireless Mode

There are four modes supported, Access Point, Client (Ad-hoc and

Infrastructure), WDS Bridge and WDS repeater. The default mode is Access

Point. If you want to change to bridge mode, please go to Wireless/WDS Setting

to enable the WDS function.

SSID

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.

Channel Number

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.

Encryption

WEP Encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is set to Disabled by default. When

WEP is enabled, data packet is encrypted

before being transmitted. The WEP prevents data packets from being

eavesdropped by unrelated people. By using WEP data encryption, there may be a

significant degradation of the data throughput on the wireless link.

clients to associate to this Access Point.
