Check the box to enable the wireless

function. If you do not want to use

wireless, uncheck the box to disable all

the wireless functions.

Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name

of your wireless network. Create a name

using up to 32 characters. The SSID is

case-sensitive.

Indicates the channel setting for the

EH100. By default the channel is set to

6. The Channel can be changed to fit the

channel setting for an existing wireless

network or to customize the wireless

network. The

Auto Channel Scan

setting can be selected to allow the EH100 to choose the channel with the least amount

of interference.

Enable this mode if your network is made up of purely 802.11g devices. If you have both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless

clients, uncheck the box.

Check this option if you would not like the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the EH100. If this option is

checked, the SSID of the EH100 will not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID

of your EH100 in order to connect to it.
