DESCRIPTION
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region. To
manually set the ZyXEL Device to use a channel, select a channel from the
drop-down list box. Click MAINTENANCE and then the Channel Usage tab
to open the Channel Usage screen to make sure the channel is not already
used by another AP or independent peer-to-peer wireless network. To have
the ZyXEL Device automatically select a channel, click Scan instead.
Click this button to have the ZyXEL Device automatically select the wireless
channel with the lowest interference.
The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with
a frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data
unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns
on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 800 and 2346.
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a
value between 800 and 2346.
An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the ZyXEL Device's
ESSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which
a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating with the access
point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the
ZyXEL Device's SSID or security settings, you will lose
your wireless connection when you press Apply to
confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of
your computer to match the ZyXEL Device's new
settings.
Select the check box to activate an SSID profile.
Select the profile(s) of the SSIDs you want to use in your wireless network.
You can have up to eight ESSs running on the ZyXEL Device simultaneously.
Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen.
LED.
The blue ZyAIR LED is on when the ZyXEL Device is on and blinks (or
breathes) when data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations.
Clear the check box to turn this LED off even when the ZyXEL Device is on
and data is being transmitted/received.
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to one of the
ZyXEL Device's BSSs to communicate with each other.
Disable intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations in a BSS to
communicate with the wired network, not with each other. Wireless stations
can still communicate with wireless stations in other BSSs. Use layer-2
isolation to also block wireless stations from communicating with wireless
stations in other BSSs.
Note: This check box is automatically cleared (intra-BSS traffic
is blocked) if you configure an SSID to use layer-2
isolation. Re-select this check box if you want to allow
intra-BSS traffic.
