BSSID

The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an

area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control) address

of the AP (Access Point) and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is

generated randomly.

Country

A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific national settings. Each country listed

enforces specific regulations limiting channel range. For Australia and New Zealand channels

are limited to numbers 1-13.

Max Clients

The maximum number of wireless clients that can be connected to the NF1ADV at any one

time.

Wireless Guest Network

The Guest SSID (Virtual Access Point) can be enabled by selecting the Enable Wireless

Guest Network checkbox. Rename the Wireless Guest Network as you wish.

Security

Wireless Security settings are used to prevent unauthorized connections to your network. This can be as basic as a neighbouring

user who detects and is able to connect through your wireless network, right through to actual malicious interference or ‘hacking’.

Whatever the case, it is a good practice to be aware of and to use wireless network security to safeguard your data and your

network.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Select SSID

Pre- configured to the default SSID of the NetComm Wireless settings. This field can be

Network Authentication

The type of wireless security you prefer to use can be set using this field.

NOTE: The wireless security types available are listed in the order of level of security from

least (top) to most (bottom).

WPA/WAP! Passphrase

The case sensitive wireless password of your choice should be at least 8 characters in length

up to a maximum of 63 characters with both numbers and letters.

WPA Group Rekey Interval

The Group Key (Group Transient Key) is a shared key among all Supplicants connected to

the same AP, and is used to secure multicast/broadcast traffic. It is not used for normal

unicast traffic. A Pairwise Transient Key secures the unicast traffic.

Group Key Renewal controls how often the Group Transient Key is changed. The Group Key

Renewal does not control the update period for the Pairwise Transient Key. The Pairwise

Transient Key is changed each time the Supplicant authenticates, or re-authenticates.

WPA/WAPI Encryption

The type of WPA encryption the wireless security will use.

WEP Encryption

The option to use WEP encryption when the network authentication is set to Open. This is a

less secure type of encryption than WPA-PSK.
