Advanced > WLAN Partition
Use the WLAN Partition menu to control barriers between networks and wireless devices.
Click on the WLAN Partition hyperlink to access the menu from the Advanced Tab > Filters menu. The
default settings do not restrict communication between wireless devices and wired or wireless
networks. That is, access from wireless devices to and from the Ethernet, and to and from wireless
devices on either 802.11a or 802.11b networks is not restricted. Access between and among all
network devices is enabled by default. You can disable access between wireless devices or networks
by deselecting the appropriate Enabled check box.
To change the WLAN Partition settings, first choose the wireless network you want to configure from
the Wireless Band drop-down menu. The partitions that can be created are described as follows:
Internal Station Connection: When this is enabled there is no barrier to communication among
wireless stations using the Access Point. If this is disabled, wireless stations of the selected band
(802.11a 0r 802.11b) are not allowed to exchange data through the Access Point
Ethernet to WLAN Access: When this is enabled there is no barrier to data flow from the Ethernet to
wireless devices using the Access Point. If this is disabled, all data from the Ethernet to associated
wireless devices is blocked. Wireless devices can still send data to the Ethernet.
Connection Between 802.11a & 802.11b: When this is enabled, devices on the 802.11a network are
able to exchange data with devices on the 802.11b network through the Access Point. If this is
disabled, a partition is created between the networks within the Access Point. That is, data from any
associated device on the 802.11a network cannot send data to or receive data from another device on
the 802.11b network through the Access Point.
To create a WLAN partition, click the Enabled box so the check mark no longer appears in the box and
click Apply to make the change.
