ESSID

Extended Service Set ID.The ESSID is the identifying name of a wireless network -

strictly it is the identifying name of a wireless access point.It allows one wireless net-

work to be clearly distinguishable from another.The default ESSID is autonet-XXXX,

where XXXX is the last 4 digits of the In-Car Router' s serial number. It is recom-

mended that you keep this ESSID in order to distinguish your router from other

routers that may be in the area.

WEP Key

TheWEP key is not shown if it is set.You do not have to set it,if you want it to re-

quency that the transceiver within the radio and access point uses (e.g.,

2.412 GHz for channel 1 and 2.417 GHz for channel 2). There is only 5

MHz separation between the center frequencies, and an 802.11b signal oc-

cupies approximately 30 MHz of the frequency spectrum. The signal falls
