5.1 Setup
This screen allows you to configure basic features of the wireless LAN interface. You can enable or disable
the wireless LAN interface, hide the network from active scans, set the wireless network name (also known as
SSID) and restrict the channel set based on country requirements. The Wireless Guest Network function adds
extra networking security when connecting to remote hosts.
Option Description
Enable Wireless A checkbox that enables (default) or disables the wireless LAN interface. When selected,
the Web UI displays Hide Access point, SSID, BSSID and Country settings.
Hide Access Point Select Hide Access Point to protect the access point from detection by wireless active
scans. To check AP status in Windows XP, open Network Connections from the start Menu
and select View Available Network Connections. If the access point is hidden, it will not be
listed there. To connect a client to a hidden access point, the station must add the access
point manually to its wireless configuration.
SSID
[1-32 characters]
Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations must be
configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that user
will not be granted access.
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 below enforces specific regulations limiting channel range:
• USA = worldwide
• Australia = 1-11
• Japan = 14
• Jordan = 10-1
• Israel = 1-1
Wireless Guest

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.
NOTE: Remote wireless hosts cannot scan Guest SSIDs.
