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

¾ 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.
¾ 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.
