P-780 User's Guide v1.2
Mode – showing the current operation mode of P-780 (AP or Bridge).
Interface – showing the current MBSSID | Bridge link entry
SSID – a unique ID for your wireless network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
The default SSID is "P-780" but you should change this to a personal wireless network name. The
SSID is important for clients when connecting to the access point. All client stations must have their
client SSID settings configured and must use the same SSID.
Each MBSSID entry (BSSID) can has its own SSID. And SSID can be same for
different BSSID
Hidden SSID – When enabled, the SSID of this Interface is invisible in the networks list while
scanning the available networks for wireless client (SSID is not broadcasted with its Beacons). When
disabled, the AP's SSID is visible in the available network list [enabled/disabled]. By default the
Hidden SSID is disabled.
Use VLAN – When enabled, the outgoing packets from this SSID device will be tagged with VLAN ID
and 802.1p tag (If have).
VLAN ID – Configure VLAN ID for each Multiple SSID devices. Valid numbers are from 1 to 4094.
802.1p Tag – Configure 802.1p Tag for remote APC's or Router's QoS uses. Valid numbers are
from 0 to 7.
VLAN ID and 802.1p tag must cooperate with remote Router or APC.
Security – Specify the security policy.
WEP – When selected, the privacy of MSSID entry will be set to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
WEP Key Index – Select the default key Index to make it the Default key and encrypt the
data before being transmitted. All stations, including this MSSID Entry, always transmit data
encrypted using this Default Key. The key number (1,2,3,4) is also transmitted. The receiving
station will use the key number to determine which key to use for decryption. If the key value
does not match with the transmitting station, the decryption will fail. The key value is set in
Wireless | WEP web page.
802.1x – When selected, the MSSID entry will be configured as an 802.1x authenticator. It
supports multiple authentication types based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) like
EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, EAP-SIM. The privacy will be configured as dynamic WEP.
RADIUS Server Profile – Select the default radius server name. If not, please configure
Network | RADIUS Servers Web page first.
Dynamic Key Length – Select the dynamic 64-bits / 128-bits encryption.
WPA – Wi-Fi Protected Access, When selected, the encrypt method will be WPA with RADIUS
Sever.
RADIUS Server Profile – The same as 802.1x.
Algorithm – Choose WPA algorithm (TKIP, AES).
Use ReKey – If not selected, indicates that Group Key will not be rekeyed. If selected, must
specify the time in minutes, after which the group key will be updated.
Every ... minutes – Specify amount of minutes and WPA automatically will generate a new
Group Key.
WPA-PSK – When selected, the encrypt method will be WPA without RADIUS Server.
Use Pre-Shared Key – Specify more than 8 characters and less than 64 characters for WPA
with pre-shared key encryption.
Algorithm – The same as WPA.
Use Rekey – The same as WPA.
