4.1.5 Public WLAN Configuration

The internal 802.11g Access Point serves as a secondary Public Access network.

The configurations for the Wireless interface will consist of IP and DHCP selections as

well as SSID, Channel, Transmission Mode, SSID Broadcast, and Layer 2 Client

Isolation.

SSID:

The SSID is the unique name shared among all devices in a wireless network.

The SSID must be the same for all devices in the wireless network. It is case sensitive

and must not exceed 32 characters (any keyboard character is allowed).

Sync to Ticket:

Checking this box will enter the SSID of the internal AP in the

On-Demand User receipt SSID field.

Auto Channel Selection:

The system will automatically select the appropriate

channel based on relative noise and interference on available channels when enabled.

Channel:

Select the appropriate channel from the list to correspond with your network

settings, between 1 and 11 (North America). Channels 1, 6, and 11 tend to have the

least amount of overlap in the spectrum.

Transmission Mode:

There are 3 Wireless modes available:

802.11b

(2.4GHz,

11Mbps)

, 802.11g

(2.4GHz, 54Mbps)

and

Mix mode

(b and g)

SSID Broadcast:

If enabled, the SSID will be broadcast in most every 802.11 frame.

Disabling this feature removes the SSID from most but not all 802.11 frames to add

privacy to your wireless network. When disabled clients trying to join the Network must

supply the SSID, as it most likely will not show up in normal Site Survey scans.

Layer 2 Client Isolation:

Enabling this feature prevents wireless clients connected to

the Internal AP from communicating with one another. This is to ensure the privacy

and safety of all guests who use the wireless public access network.

Security:

The Security screen is where Wired Equivalent Privacy can be enabled and

configured if so desired.

HEX or 13 ASCII) WEP key.

HEX

(0-9, a-f) or

ASCII

The

Advanced

menu allows fine-tuning of the RF characteristics for the internal AP.

In most cases the default settings offer the best performance.
