Enables Proxy ARP handling for MUs. Proxy ARP is provided for MU's in PSP mode
whose IP address is known. The WLAN generates an ARP reply on behalf of a MU,
if the MU's IP address is known. The ARP reply contains the MAC address of the
MU (not the MAC address of WLAN Module). Thus, the MU does not awaken to
send ARP replies (helping to increase battery life and conserve bandwidth). If an
MU goes into PSP mode without transmitting at least one packet, its Proxy ARP
will not work for the MU. This option is selected by deafult.
Enables Shared-Key Authentication for all enabled WLANs on the system. Shared-
key authentication is strongly discouraged. This option is enabled in setups where
there are legacy mobile units which can only support this authentication method.
Use this option (its selected by default) for custom WLAN to Radio mappings.
When Advanced Configuration is disabled, the user cannot conduct Radio –
WLAN mapping. Additionally, the user cannot enable WLANs with an index higher
than 16. Once the Advanced Configuration option is enabled, the following
conditions must be satisfied (to successfully disable it). No WLANs with an index
higher than 16 should be enabled. With advanced WLAN mapping the switch
evenly distributes the enabled WLANs to BSSIDs. Additionally, the Radio – WLAN
mapping should conform to the following:
BSS ID 1 – Possible WLANs 1,5,9,13
BSS ID 2 – Possible WLANs 2,6,10,14
BSS ID 3 – Possible WLANs 3,7,11,15
BSS ID 4 – Possible WLANs 4, 8, 12,16
Select this option to enable WLAN bandwidth settings. WLAN bandwidth settings
ensures quality of service for applications regardless of network load. This option
is selected by default.
Enter an upstream rate limit in kbps for all MUs associated with the switch across
all WLANs.
