Performing Advanced Configuration
are the specified size or greater. You should not need to enable this parameter for most networks unless you suspect
that the wireless cell contains hidden nodes.
Wireless Service Status
The user can shutdown (or resume) the wireless service on the wireless interface of the AP through the CLI, HTTP, or
SNMP interface. When the wireless service on a wireless interface is shutdown, the AP will:
•
Stop the AP services to wireless clients connected on that wireless interface by disassociating them
•
Disable the associated BSS ports on that interface
•
Disable the transmission and reception of frames on that interface
•
Indicate the wireless service shutdown status of the wireless interface through LED and traps
•
Enable Ethernet interface so that it can receive a wireless service resume command through CLI/HTTP/SNMP
interface
NOTE
WSS disables only BSS ports; WDS ports are still operational.
In shutdown state, AP will not transmit and receive frames from the wireless interface and will stop transmitting
periodic beacons. Moreover, none of the frames received from the Ethernet interface will be forwarded to that wireless
interface.
Wireless service on a wireless interface of the AP can be resumed through CLI/HTTP/SNMP management interface.
When wireless service on a wireless interface is resumed, the AP will:
•
Enable the transmission and reception of frames on that wireless interface
•
Enable the associated BSS port on that interface
•
Start the AP services to wireless clients
•
Indicate the wireless service resume status of the wireless interface through LED and traps
After wireless service resumes, the AP resumes beaconing, transmitting and receiving frames to/from the wireless
interface and bridging the frames between the Ethernet and the wireless interface.
Traps Generated During Wireless Service Shutdown (and Resume)
The following traps are generated during wireless service shutdown and resume, and are also sent to any configured
Syslog server.
When the wireless service is shutdown on a wireless interface, the AP generates a trap called
oriTrapWirelessServiceShutdown.
When the wireless service is resumed on a wireless interface, the AP generate a trap called
oriTrapWirelessServiceResumed.
Wireless Interface Activity LED and Wireless Service Shutdown
When the wireless service is shutdown on a wireless interface, the Wireless Interface Activity LED for that interface
changes to an amber color.
When wireless service is resumed on a wireless interface, the Wireless Interface Activity LED for that interface
maintains an OFF state while there is no wireless link activity and changes to green color when there is wireless link
activity.
Wireless (802.11b)
You can configure and view the following parameters within the Wireless Interface Configuration screen for an
802.11b AP:
NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point before any changes to these parameters take effect.
•
Physical Interface Type: For 802.11b AP, this field reports: "802.11b (DSSS 2.4 GHz)." DSSS stands for Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum; this is the name for the radio technology used by 802.11b devices.
•
MAC Address: This is a read-only field that displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address for the
Access Point's wireless interface. The MAC address is assigned at the factory.
