Figure 123 – Create/Edit Uplink Profile - Profile Configuration
Enter a profile name for the uplink network specified below. This should be something that
is memorable and meaningful. Value Range: 1 - 64 characters.
Enter the SSID for the VAP, and decide whether to broadcast the SSID or not.
The SSID is used for identification from another AP and client stations will associate with
the AP according to the SSID. If the broadcast SSID option is enabled, the SSID will be
broadcasted, and the stations can associate with this device by scanning for available SSIDs.
Select a radio channel for the VAP. Each channel corresponds to different radio band. The
permissible channels depend on the Regulatory Domain.
There are two available options when Auto is selected:
By AP Numbers – The channel will be selected according to AP numbers (lower values are
better).
By Interference – The channel will be selected according to interference level (lower values
are better).
Specify the authentication method for connecting with the uplink network: Open, Shared,
WPA-SPK or WPA2-PSK.
When Open is selected, the preshared WEP key can be set for authentication;
When Shared is selected, the preshared WEP key should be set for authentication;
When WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected, the TKIP or AES preshared key should be set for
authentication;
Select the desired encryption method and enter the required key(s). The available method
in the dropdown list depends on the Authentication you selected.
None – the device is open with no encryption.
WEP – Up to 4 WEP keys can be set and you have to select one as current key. The key type
can set to HEX or ASCII. If HEX is selected, the key should consist of (0 to 9) and (A to F).
If ASCII is selected, the key should consist of ASCII table.
