Access Point Features
Configuring the Device
• RADIUS Profile Name: This parameter allows you to configure the RADIUS profile name for Wireless VAP. It has
to be a valid Radius profile configured under Security.
• VLAN ID: This parameter is used to represent the VLAN ID for the wireless VAP. Select any value between 1 -
4094 to tag the VLAN ids and -1 to untag the VLAN ids. From VLAN perspective the wireless port acts as an
Access Point.
• VLAN Priority: This parameter is used to configure the VLAN priority for Wireless VAP. By default the value is set
to 0.
• QoS Profile Name: This parameter is used to configure the profile name for the Wireless VAP QoS.
• Local MAC Authentication: This parameter is used to enable or disable the local MAC Access Control list.
• RADIUS MAC Authentication: This parameter is used to enable or disable the MAC ACL for RADIUS Profiles.
• RADIUS Accounting: This parameter is used to enable or disable the RADIUS Accounting Status.
• Entry Status: This parameter is used to enable or disable the status of the wireless VAP.
Wireless Radio Properties
• Operational Mode: This parameter is used to set the wireless NIC Operational mode.
• Current Bandwidth: This parameter represents the current bandwidth that Wireless is currently operating on. It is
represented in "MHz"
• Auto Channel Selection: This parameter indicates the AP Tx data rate that is automatically selected based on
the RF conditions.
• Current Operating Channel: This will display the operating channel on which wireless interface is operating.
• Auto Rate Selection: This parameter is used to configure the value for data rate for the wireless interface. For an
Access Point this value is always "Auto".
• RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold): When this parameter is set to a value between 0 and 2346, the
Access Point uses the RTS mechanism for packets that are the specified size or greater. When set to 2346 (the
default setting), RTS is disabled. This parameter affects message flow control and should not be changed under
normal circumstances. The range for this field is between 0 to 2346.
• Beacon Interval: The Beacon interval specifies the interval time between two successive beacons transmission.
You can set the value for Beacon interval between 100 ms and 1000ms for each beacon transmission.
• TPC: The unit transmits the maximum output power for the country or regulatory domain and operational mode
selected. However, with Transmit Power Control (TPC), you can adjust the output power of the unit to a lower level
in order to reduce interference to neighboring devices or to use a higher gain antenna without violating the
maximum radiated output power allowed for your regulatory domain.
• Cell Size: The cell size is a parameter that needs to be configured to control the range of the AP in different type
of deployment scenario. For instance, for dense AP deployment the usage of small cell size minimizes the
interference caused by one AP on another.
• If the cell size is set to large, then transmit power and receive sensitivity are high.
• If the cell is set to small, then transmit power and receive sensitivity are reduced.
• DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indicator Map): DTIM determines how frequently the station must leave power save mode
and determine if the traffic is lining up for it. You can set the DTIM interval based on the applications that are being
used on the network.
11n Properties Features
• 11n AMPDU (Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit) Status: AMPDU (Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit)
specifies the aggregation of several MAC frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput.
• AMPDU Max Num Frames: This field represents the AMPDU frames that are transmitted as a single PSDU by
the PHY. It can be configured up to 64 frames.
• AMPDU Max FrameSize: This parameter is used to configure the maximum AMPDU frame size (in bytes) that
can be transmitted.
