Proxim RangeLAN 802 8520 User Manual page 33

This option allows you to change the various wireless parameters.
The Radio Port Administrative Status is for SNMP usage. It corresponds to the
SNMP MIB-II Administrative status parameter and can be used to bring the radio inter-
face back up after it has been disabled by an SNMP manager.
The Delay Radio Reconfigure parameter allows you to delay radio parameter changes
from taking effect. You might want to enable this feature if you are wirelessly configur-
ing the RangeLAN802 Access Point, so that you do not lose communication when the
parameters change. For example, suppose you were changing a RangeLAN802 Access
Point's ESSID. If you did not use the Delay Radio Reconfigure parameter, when the
ESSID changed, the wireless client would no longer be able to communicate with the
RangeLAN802 Access Point.
The No Traffic Trap Period specifies the number of seconds after which a No Traffic
trap is sent via SNMP.
The Radio Traffic Trap Threshold specifies a percentage of radio traffic after which a
Radio High Usage trap is sent via SNMP.
The Radio Broadcast Trap Threshold specifies a percentage of radio broadcast traffic
after which a Radio High Usage trap is sent via SNMP.
Reset Radio allows you to reset the radio contained in the RangeLAN802 Access Point
without resetting the entire unit. This will cause any changes to the radio parameters
which have not yet taken effect (because the Delay Radio Reconfigure parameter is set)
to take effect.
You may choose to enable Security on your RangeLAN802 network. If security is an
issue of concern on your network, you should configure this setting and then set an
Encryption Key. There are three Security options with RangeLAN802 products: no
Security ("None," the default value), use encryption for authentication when a node
associates with an Access Point ("Authentication only"), or use encryption both during
authentication and when sending and receiving data ("Authentication and Data").
Note that enabling Security to encrypt both authentication and data will decrease perfor-
mance on your network. RangeLAN802 Security was designed to provide security
