DESCRIPTION
Set the output power of the NWA in this field. If there is a high
density of APs in an area, decrease the output power to reduce
interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%(Full
Power), 50%, 25%, 12.5% or Minimum. See the product
specifications for more information on your NWA's output power.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the NWA's
effective broadcast radius.
For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The
options are:
• Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the
access point at this speed.
• Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed,
when permitted to do so by the AP.
• Disabled: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this
speed.
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 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.
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.
