Web-portal session timeout—Specifies how many seconds MSS waits
after a Web-Portal client enters the Disassociated state before
terminating the client's session. This can be useful if you want to allow
a client connecting through Web Portal WebAAA to enter standby or
hibernation mode, then be able to resume its session after waking up,
without having to log in again. You can specify from 5 seconds up to
2800 seconds (a little over 46 minutes). The default is 5 seconds. The
timeout change applies globally for all Web-Portal sessions on the
SSID of the service profile. This option applies only to Web-Portal
service profiles.
Rate Configuration Tab
The Rate Configuration tab lists the data rates supported and used by
MAP radios. For each radio type (802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g), the
following rates are individually configurable:
Beacon rate—Data rate at which the radio sends beacon (SSID
advertisement) frames and probe-response frames. The valid rates
depend on the radio type and are the same as the mandatory rates.
However, you cannot set the beacon rate to a disabled rate. The
default depends on the radio type:
802.11a—6.0
802.11b—2.0
802.11g—2.0
Multicast rate—Data rate at which the radio sends multicast frames.
The valid rates depend on the radio type and are the same as the
mandatory rates. The default is Automatic, which sets the multicast
rate to the highest rate that can reach all clients connected to the
radio.
Mandatory rates—Set of data transmission rates that clients are
required to support in order to associate with an SSID on a MAP radio.
A client must support at least one of the mandatory rates. These rates
are advertised in the basic rate set of 802.11 beacons, probe
responses, and reassociation response frames sent by MAP radios.
Management frames sent by MAP radios use one of the specified
mandatory rates.
The valid rates depend on the radio type:
802.11a—6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0, 54.0
802.11b—1.0, 2.0, 5.5, 11.0
