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 network to be clearly distinguishable from
another. The default ESSID is autonet-xxxx, where xxxx is the last 4 digits of the Subaru
Mobile Internet’s serial number. Although this can be modified, it is recommended that you
keep this ESSID as the default to distinguish the Subaru Mobile Internet from other hotspots
in the same vicinity. Please note that if you change this name, you may need to reset your networks list/connection on your web accessible device.

Setting the Encryption type/key
By default the encryption type and key are not set at the factory. To set the current
encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2), use the pull down menu to select the
encryption type, then enter the encryption key value.
Min/Max digits for each encryption type are the following:
WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy. An IEEE standard security protocol for 802.11
networks. This p

Radio Mode
This feature allows you to select whether the radio is in 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11a mode.
The default setting is (g), which is backward compatible with (b) but not (a). If your system
on
ly supports (a), you will need to set Subaru Mobile Internet’s radio mode to (a) to operate
properly. This action requires a re-boot of the Subaru Mobile Internet if changed.

Configuring Wireless Settings (continued)
Channel
Direct communication between an 802.11 Radio card and an access point occurs over a
common channel frequency. The FCC allows channels 1 through 11 within the U.S. An
important concept to note regarding channel assignments is that the channel actually
represents the center frequency 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 occupies approximately 30 MHz of
the frequency spectrum. The signal falls within about 15 MHz of each side of the center
frequency. As a result, an 802.11b signal overlaps with several adjacent channel frequencies.
This leaves you with only three channels (channels 1, 6, and 11 for the U.S.) That you can
use without causing interference between access points.
TxPower
This allows you to set the transmit power of the radio. Setting a lower value limits the range of
the radio and reduces interference with other access points. (default: 19 recommended)
Bit rate
This allows you to set the bit rate in Mbs. The bit rate is the speed at which bits are
transmitted over the medium. The user speed of the link is lower due to medium sharing and
various overhead. Select a value to lock the card to a particular bit rate. If you specify auto,
the driver will use all bit rates to find an optimum rate. (default: auto recommended)
RTS threshold
RTS/CTS adds a handshake before each packet transmission to make sure that the channel
is clear. This adds overhead, but Increases performance in case of hidden nodes or a large
number of active nodes. This parameter sets the size of the smallest packet for which the
node sends rts; a value equal to the maximum packet size disables the mechanism. You may
also set this parameter to off. (default: off recommended)
9
Configuring Wireless Settings (continued)
Fragmentation threshold
Fragmentation allows the splitting of an IP packet in a burst of smaller fragments
transmitted on the medium. In most cases this adds overhead, but in a very noisy
environment this reduces the error penalty and allows packets to get through
interference bursts. This parameter sets the maximum fragment size. You may
also set this to off to disable the mechanism. (default: off recommended)
Configuring Wireless Security Settings
Click on “Wireless Security”
The Wireless Security Settings allow you to control which wireless-equipped devices
may communicate with the router, depending on their MAC addresses. By default
these MAC filters are disabled. If you turn MAC filters on, you should be sure and
include the MAC address of the device that you are using to communicate with.
Otherwise, the device that you’re using will lose its connection to the Subaru Mobile
Internet. To enable MAC filters, change the MAC filters option to “on” and then check the
“Allowed” box next to the MAC addresses that you wish to allow to join the network. If you
would like to connect devices that are not currently attached to the Subaru
Mobile Internet, you may add them in the text field. You can add multiple devices by
separating them with a space. Select “commit changes” when

Disabling the Login Screen
Click on “login control”
Normally a device that connects to the Autonet Mobile network must first click through the
login screen that comes up on your web browser. However, there are some devices that do
not have a web browser (cameras, music players, etc.), so we’ve created a method for
disabling the login page for those devices.
To bypass the login screen for a device, check the box under “no login required” next to the
MAC address of that device.

M. News. Autonet Mobile users should use their best judgment when posting to any
newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQ’s
standards” describing what is and is not considered appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable
resource if used properly. The continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial
advertisements are off- topic in most newsgroups, especially regional groups not specifically
named for such. The presence of such articles in a group is not indicative of the group’s
“intended” use. Please familiarize yourself with basic Usenet netiquette before posting to a
newsgroup. Autonet Mobile considers “multiposting” to 10 or more groups within a two week
sliding window to be excessive. Autonet Mobile servers currently limit the number of
allowable “cross-posts” to 9. Autonet Mobile users may not cancel messages other than their
own messages. A user may cancel posts forged in that user’s name. We may cancel any
postings which violate this AUP.
