Advanced Screen; Wireless Mesh - Honeywell OW-CDX050 User Manual

Advanced screen

The Wireless Access Point - Advanced screen allows you to enable or disable load
balancing between APs and control packet forwarding between clients in a network.
•
The Load Balancing feature balances the wireless clients communications between
APs. For example, if two APs with similar settings are located in close proximity of
each other, all wireless clients near that location could potentially associate with the
same AP, leaving the other AP unused. Load balancing attempts to evenly distribute
the wireless clients communication on both APs.
NOTE: Load balanceing is disabled by default. If enabled, all APs in the network
should be enabled for load balancing.
•
Publicly Secure Packet Forwarding (No Inter-client Communicaton) prevents
wireless clients that associate with the same AP from communicating with each
other. When this feature is enabled, wireless clients can not talk to other wireless
clients directly at Layer 2. However, both clients can have access to others that are
not associating to the same AP.
Click Apply to save changes you have made in the Advanced screen.

Wireless Mesh

Wireless mesh provides a means for multinodes to:
(1) Communicate with each other,
(2) Extend the Basic Service Set (BSS) of a single access point (multinode), and
(3) Connect two or more separate LANs without cabling.
Wireless mesh is a function that requires set up in addition to the basic access point
configuration. The screens which are used when configuring the unit for wireless mesh
are described in the following sections:
•
