lower or upper. The signal components above the carrier frequency constitute the
upper sideband (USB) and those below the carrier frequency constitute the lower
sideband (LSB).
STEP 6 The Wireless Channel field specifies the frequency that the radio uses to transmit
wireless frames. Select a channel from the list of channels or choose auto to let the
Cisco RV180W determine the best channel to use based on the environment noise
levels for the available channels.
STEP 7 In the U-APSD field, choose Enable to enable the Unscheduled Automatic Power
Save Delivery (also referred to as WMM Power Save) feature that allows the radio
to conserve power. This feature is disabled by default.
STEP 8 Click Save.
Configuring Wireless Security and Other Settings
At a minimum, you should edit the default profiles to enable wireless security. You
can configure wireless security and other settings for each wireless network. To
configure wireless settings:
STEP 1 Choose Wireless > Basic Settings.
STEP 2 In the Wireless Basic Settings Table, check the box on the left of the wireless
network you want to configure.
STEP 3 Click Edit to configure these network properties:
a. Enter the SSID name, or the unique name for this wireless network. Include up
to 32 characters, using any of the characters on the keyboard. For added
security, you should change the default value to a unique name.
b. Check the Broadcast SSID box if you want to allow all wireless clients within
range to be able to detect this wireless network when they are scanning the
local area for available networks. Disable this feature if you do not want to make
the SSID known. When this feature is disabled, wireless users can connect to
your wireless network only if they know the SSID (and provide the required
security credentials).
c. Enter the VLAN, or network for this wireless network. (See “Configuring
Virtual LAN (VLAN) Membership” on page 34 for more information on
VLANs.) Devices connecting to this network are assigned addresses on this
VLAN. The default VLAN is 1 and if all the devices are on the same network,
this can be left unchanged.
