11.4 More AP Screen

This screen allows you to enable and configure multiple wireless networks and guest wireless
network settings on the NBG6616.
You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service Sets) on the NBG6616.
This allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs simultaneously. You can then
assign varying security types to different SSIDs. Wireless clients can use different SSIDs to
associate with the same access point.
Click Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G > More AP. The following screen displays.

DESCRIPTION
This field is available only when you select WPA2.
Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client (already
connecting to an AP) to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication with another AP before
connecting to it. Select Enable to turn on preauthentication in WAP2. Otherwise,
select Disable.
Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation.
Enter the port number of the external authentication server.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do
so with additional information.
Enter a password (up to 127 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared
between the external authentication server and the NBG6616.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your NBG6616.
The key is not sent over the network.
The NBG6616 automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wireless and wired
networks after a period of inactivity. The wireless client needs to send the username
and password again before it can use the wireless and wired networks again. Some
wireless clients may prompt users for a username and password; other clients may
use saved login credentials. In either case, there is usually a short delay while the
wireless client logs in to the wireless network again.
Enter the time in seconds from 0 to 999999.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6616.
