GEM420 User Manual 65
4. Multiple AP Names: This device supports up to 8 SSIDs for you to manage your
wireless network. You can select VAP-1 ~ VAP-8 and configure each wireless
network if it is required.
5. Time Schedule: The wireless radio can be turn on according to the schedule rule
you specified. By default, the wireless radio is always turned on when the wireless
module is enabled. If you want to add a new schedule rule, please go to System
-> Scheduling menu.
6. Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN).
Client stations can roam freely over this device and other Access Points that have
the same Network ID. (The factory default setting is “default”)
7. SSID Broadcast: The router will broadcast beacons that have some information,
including SSID so that wireless clients can know how many AP devices by
scanning the network. Therefore, if this setting is configured as “Disable”, the
wireless clients can’t find the device from beacons.
8. WLAN Partition: You can check the WLAN Partition function to separate the
wireless clients. The wireless clients can’t communicate each other, but they can
access the internet and other Ethernet LAN devices.
9. Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the
Regulatory Domain. The factory default setting is auto channel selection. It’s
recommended to choose a channel that is not used in your environment to reduce
radio interference.
10. Wireless System: This gateway supports 802.11a/b/g/n modes. For 2.4GHz
operation band, you can also choose “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N mixed”, and
for 5GHz operation band, you can choose “A only”, “N only”, or “A/N mixed”
according to your requirement. The factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed” for
2.4GHz and “A/N mixed” for 5GHz. But the device supports only 2.4GHz.
11. Authentication & Encryption: You may select one of the following
authentications to secure your wireless network: Open, Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK,
WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2.
 Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is
an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the
MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the
AP/router (WiFi gateway) containing a success or failure message. An example
of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded
in the AP/router configuration. In this mode you can enable 802.1x feature if
you have another RADIUS server for user authentication. You need to input IP
address, port and shared key of RADIUS server here.
