name
On your PC, some Wireless status screens may display this name as the Access Point in use.
SSID
  • If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier).
  • To communicate, all Wireless stations must use the same SSID/ESSID.

Options
802.11 Mode Select the desired option.
  • This is the default setting, and allows clients to use any of the following modes:
    • Standard 802.11b
    • 802.11B+ (Texas Instruments proprietory enhanced mode)
    • Standard 802.11g
    • 802.11G-plus (Texas Instruments proprietory enhanced mode). This mode can increase throughput by up to 50%, but will only work between compatible TI wireless stations.
  • 802.11g & 802.11b - Both 802.11g and 802.11b stations are able to connect.
  • 802.11g - If selected, this ensures that 802.11g mode Wireless stations will connect at high speed, but 802.11b mode Wireless stations will be unable to connect at all.
  • 802.11b - If selected, 802.11g mode is unavailable. 802.11g mode Wireless stations will only be able to connect if they are fully backward-compatible with 802.11b mode, and can run in standard 802.11b mode.
Channel
No
  • Select the Channel you wish to use on your Wireless LAN.
  • If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
Broadcast
SSID
If Enabled, the SSID will broadcast its name to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.
