Channel ID: This field determines which operating frequency will be
used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel
unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access
point. By default, the PL9560-WAP is set to channel 6.
•
Block SSID Broadcasting: You may use the selection to prevent your
PL9560-WAP from transmitting (Broadcast) the SSID. The PL9560-WAP
will respond to clients configured with the right SSID. When wireless
clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with,
they will detect the SSID broadcast by the PL9560-WAP. To broadcast
the SSID, keep the default, Enabled. If you do not want to broadcast
the SSID, then select Disabled.
•
SSID: The SSID is also known as the Wireless Network Name. It is case-
sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. In a setting where there
is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names
provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to
participate in a particular wireless network will need to use this SSID for
that network. The PL9560-WAP default SSID is Asoka.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
If you have client devices, such as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi
Protected Setup, then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically
configure wireless security for your wireless network(s).
The software push buttons (WPS AP Push Button & Reset WPS Network) are
equivalent to the WPS Wireless Security hardware push button. Below is a
description of the software push buttons:
•
WPS AP Push Button: Press this button to allow a client to join an existing
WPS Network or have the PL9560 create a brand new WPS wireless
network with a random SSID, random wireless password using the WPA2-
Personal –AES security algorithm if the existing network was not created
by WPS.
•
Reset WPS Network: Press this software push button to make the PL9560
reset an existing WPS network and create a new network with a random
SSID, random wireless password using the WPA2-Personal-AES security
algorithm. The PL9560 will then wait for 2 minutes for a client to join and
access the network.
Use this method to configure WPS Network if your client device has a Wi-Fi
Protected Setup button.
1. Click or press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the client device.
