Specifies the rate at which the multicast data packets are transmitted over the wireless
network.
By default, the Multicast Rate is 9 Mbps for operational modes 11na/a and 11 Mbps for
operational modes 11ng/g. To configure, select the rate of data transmission from the drop
down menu.
:
• The configured multicast rate value rolls back to its default value when the operational
mode of the AP device changes.
• While configuring multicast rate, please ensure that all the clients in the network can
communicate with the configured rate.
The process of dividing a MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) into smaller MAC level frames for
transmission over the wireless network is called Fragmentation.This reduces both the
probability and adverse effects of wireless packet corruption, improving the overall wireless
network performance.
Unicast receiver address can be fragmented, whereas Broadcast/Multicast frames cannot be
fragmented, even though they exceed a fragmentation threshold. If the size of the data
packet is more than the configured value, AP device transmits the data by breaking it into
pieces called fragments. Each fragment size is the Fragmentation Threshold.
By default, it is 2346 bytes. To configure, enter a value ranging from 256 to 2346 bytes in
the Fragmentation Threshold box.
: 'Fragmentation Threshold' is not configurable in 11n mode.
Specifies the name of the security profile assigned to a wireless VAP.
By default, it is 'AP Security. To configure, select a Security Profile Name from the drop
Wireless
down menu. (Refer
Specifies the name of the RADIUS profile assigned to a wireless VAP.
By default, the available RADIUS Profile Name is 'Default RADIUS'. (Refer RADIUS)
Specifies the VLAN ID assigned to a wireless VAP.
By default, the VLAN ID is set to -1, which means that VLAN tag is disabled. To enable VLAN
tag, enter a value ranging from 1 to 4094 in the VLAN ID box.
Specifies the VLAN priority assigned to a wireless VAP. By default, it is 0. To configure, enter
a value ranging from 0 to 7 in the VLAN Priority box.
: To configure the VLAN ID and VLAN Priority, VLAN status should be enabled. (See
Virtual Local Area Network
Security, for details on creating a new security profile.)
