DESCRIPTION
An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the NWA's
BSSs. 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 NWA from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the
NWA'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 NWA's new settings.
Select the check box to activate an SSID profile.
Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise,
clear the check box to disable it.
Select the profile(s) of the SSIDs you want to use in your wireless
network. You can have up to eight BSSs running on the NWA
simultaneously, one of which is always the pre-configured
VoIP_SSID profile and another of which is always the pre-
configured Guest_SSID profile.
Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen.
(For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only)
Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple
antennas to reduce signal interference.
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact
with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that
only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
Select the check box to activate STP on the NWA.
Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to
another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select
this checkbox to enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or
more NWAs on the same subnet.
Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations
must have the same SSID to allow roaming.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
