ASUS 802.11g Access Point 27

Chapter 3 - Software Conguration

Access Point

Channel

The 802.11g and 802.11b specications supports up to 14 overlapping channels

for radio communication. To minimize interference, congure each ASUS 802.11g

AP to be non-overlapping. Select “Auto” from the Channel dropdown list to enable

the system to select a clear channel during boot up as your operating channel.

Ensure that ASUS 802.11g APs sharing the same channel (or channels which are

close in number) are as far away from each other as possible, based on the results

of your site survey of the facility. Obtain the site survey utility on the ASUS 802.11g

AP support CD.

Wireless Mode

Select any of these options from the dropdown list to set up the 802.11g interface

mode:

*Auto: Select this option to allow 802.11g and 802.11b clients to connect to the

ASUS 802.11g AP.

*54g Only: Select this option to maximize performance, but this option prevents

802.11b clients from connecting to the ASUS 802.11g AP.

If “54 Protection” checkbox is ticked, G-Mode protection of 11g trafc is

automatically enabled in the presence of 11b trafc.

This eld enables you to set different authentication methods which determine

different encryption schemes. The relationship between Authentication Method,

WPA Encryption, WPA Pre-Shared Key, WEP Encryption, Passphrase, and WEP

Keys is listed in the following table. If all your clients support WPA, using “WPA-

PSK” is recommended for better security.
