
If the threshold value exceeds the maximum value, then the IAP sends multicast traffic over the wireless
link.
b. Bandwidth Limits— You can specify three types of bandwidth limits.

c. Transmit Rates— Indicates the ability to configure the basic and supported rates per SSID for Dell
Instant. Select to set the minimum and maximum legacy (non-802.11n) transmit rates for each band -
2.4GHz and 5GHz.
d. Miscellaneous
e. Content filtering— When enabled, all DNS requests to non-corporate domains on this wireless network
are sent to OpenDNS.
f. Band— Set the band at which the network transmits radio signals. Available options are 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz
and All. The All option is selected by default. It is also the recommended option.
g. Inactivity timeout— Indicates the time in seconds after which an idle client ages out. The minimum
value is 60 seconds and the default value is 1000 seconds.
h. Hide SSID— Select this check box if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to users.

DMO channel utilization threshold—When dynamic multicast optimization is enabled, the IAP
converts multicast streams into multicast unicast streams as long as the channel utilization does not
exceed this threshold. The default value is 90 and the maximum threshold value is 100%.
Airtime— Indicates the aggregate amount of airtime that all clients on this Network can use to send/
receive data.
Each user— Indicates the throughput for any single user on this Network. The throughput value is
specified in kbps.
Each radio— Indicates the aggregate amount of throughput each radio (some AP models have
multiple radios) is allowed to provide for all clients connected to that radio.
DTIM interval— Indicates the DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) period in number of
beacons. You can configure this option for every WLAN SSID profile. The default value is 1, which
means the client will check for buffered data on the IAP at every beacon. You may choose to configure
a larger DTIM value for power saving.
Conditions for Client IP and VLAN assignment
then
The client gets the IP address from the Virtual Controller. The Virtual Controller
creates a private subnet and VLAN on the IAP for the wireless clients.
The Virtual Controller NATs all traffic that passes out of this interface. This
setup eliminates the need for complex VLAN and IP address management for a
multi site wireless network. See
configuring the DHCP server.
By default, the client VLAN is assigned to the native VLAN on the wired
network.
Default— The client gets the IP address in the same subnet as the IAPs.

 Static— Select to specify a VLAN for all clients on this network.
 Dynamic— Select to create rules for per-user VLAN assignment. See
"VLAN Derivation Rule" on page 142
