PLANET WNAP-7300 - Manual (Page 38)

This wireless network name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network.
Keep it identical on all those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and cannot exceed
32 characters.
Broadcast SSID
In AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that may
have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA cannot scan and find the WNAP-7300,
so that malicious attack by some illegal STA could be avoided.
802.11 Mode
The WNAP-7300 can communicate with wireless devices of 802.11n or 802.11a/n. You can also
select Auto and make it work under an appropriate wireless mode automatically.
HT Protect
Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under
802.11n mode, wireless client can be divided into HT STA and Non-HT STA, among which the one
with HT protect enabled gets higher throughput.
Channel Number
Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper
operating channel in the drop-down list according to your situation.
Antenna
By default, the WNAP-7300 uses its built-in antenna for directional transmission; however, if you
prefer to use an external antenna for your case-dependent applications, you can switch from
“Internal (16 dBi)” to ”SMA Connector”.
Note:
You are able to choose “SMA Connector” only from the WEB UI when you have well
done installing the external antenna; otherwise, it might damage the unit itself.
Output Power
Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the wider the signal can
cover, but the power consumption will be greater accordingly. Usually “Full” is preferred.
