8 Refer to the Broadcast/Multicast Transmit Control field to define the broadcast/multicast transmission
configuration.
The Optimized for Range radio button is selected by default. This default option is ideal when range is
preferred over performance for broadcast/multicast (group) traffic. The data rates used for range are
the lowest defined basic rates selected from this radio's Set Rates screen.
Select the Optimized for Throughput radio button to transmit group packets at the radio's highest
defined basic rate (based on the radio's current basic rate settings). This option is optimal in
environments where transmission range is secondary to broadcast/multicast transmission
performance.
NOTE
Broadcast/multicast rate control is supported in both standalone and adaptive AP configurations and can
be imported/exported as part of the Access Point's existing configuration import and export capability.
9 Select the Advanced Settings tab to strategically map BSSIDs to WLANs in order to define them as
primary WLANs.
Defining Primary WLANs allows an administrator to dedicate BSSIDs (4 BSSIDs are available for
mapping) to WLANs. From that initial BSSID assignment, Primary WLANs can be defined from
within the WLANs assigned to BSSID groups 1 through 4. Each BSSID beacons only on the primary
WLAN.
The user should assign each WLAN to its own BSSID. In cases where more than four WLANs are
required, WLANs should be grouped according to their security policies so all of the WLANs on a
BSSID have the same security policy. It is generally a bad idea to have WLANs with different
security policies on the same BSSID, as this will result in warning or error messages.
