possible to look for available wireless networks to attach to. Once clicked, it will start
scanning and prompt a window.
BSSID: this refers to the Access Point MAC address on which the SW550xC should
connect to. Enabling this option will lock SW550xC to that Access Point, so SW550xC
would not roam to another Access Point with the same SSID.
Wi-Fi Direct Group Owner Mode: the he Wi-Fi Direct function allows you to configure a
secured wireless network between your devices without using access points. In a Wi-Fi
Direct group, the group owner works as an access point in the Wi-Fi infrastructure mode
and the other devices join the group as clients. SW550xC supported Wi-Fi Direct Group
Owner(GO) mode using push button method of WPS with WPA2-PSK security and AES
encryption.
WPS BUTTON: the acronym stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, PBC stands for Push
Button Configuration. To use this feature, first trigger the WPS process in the Access
Point and click on the WPS PBC button on SW550xC
’s UI. The AP and the SW550xC
should connect automatically. Note that the topology set in this case should be
infrastructure and the Wireless Mode should be Auto so the WPS can work. Note that this
button is unavailable when the Wireless Profiles is enabled.
Topology: Infrastructure (for connecting to an Access Point) or Adhoc (for connecting to
a wireless client). Note that Ad-Hoc mode is unavailable when the Wireless Profiles is
enabled.
Band Mode: 802.11b, 802.11b/g, 802.11b/g/n are available. We suggest leaving this
option to Auto for SW550xC to sense the best available mode.
Tx Rate: different rates are available, it is suggested to leave this to Best (auto). This
option is disabled when the band mode is set to Auto.
Channel: the available channels would depend on the band mode and the regulatory
domain selected in the Wireless Advanced Settings. This option is disabled when the
band mode is set to Auto.
Bandwidth: select between 20 MHz or 40 MHz; the latter fills a larger spectrum, hence it
provides a better throughput if it Is allowed by the Access Point. It is not recommended to
use 40 [email protected] GHz (802.11b/g/n).
Secondary Channel: the second channel that SW550xC uses when the 40 MHz
bandwidth is enabled.
Authentication Mode: Select between OPEN, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA2 (PEAP),
WPA2(EAP-TLS), and WPA2(EAP-TTLS).
Encryption Type: Select between WEP, TKIP and AES. Please be aware that WEP and
TKIP are not supported by the 802.11n standard, so the wireless link speed would be
