Zone Wireless Settings

Each zone has its own VAP and corresponds to one SSID. In Private zone, it's VAP1 and the SSID is hidden by
default, so public users cannot scan this SSID in the air, for privilege users who already know this SSID, they can
manually associate to the SSID of Private zone. On the other hand, the SSID of VAP2 under Public zone by default
is enabled with SSID Broadcast feature, allowing public users to scan this SSID in the air.
After wireless general settings are done, use the parameters in Wireless Settings under zone configuration to fine
tune the wireless network under Private and Public Zone.
To configure Private Zone's Wireless Settings, go to: System >> Service Zone, click Configure for Private zone

Wireless Settings: VAP1 (Wireless Settings Private Zone)
Basic: Enable the VAP Status if you wish to provide wireless service under this zone. Assign an

ESSID to VAP1 under Private Zone or use the default, the ESSID of Private Zone will not be
broadcast and internal staff will need to associate to Private Zone's VAP1 manually.
Security: Configure the wireless network under Private Zone with security encryption to prevent

unauthorized wireless association if necessary. The supported encryption standards are WEP and
WPA-PSK.


transmission, enhanced security and wireless roaming.
Beacon Interval: The entered amount of time indicates how often the beacon signal will be sent
from the VAP. The default value is set at 100ms.
RTS Threshold: Enter a value between 1 and 2346. RTS (Request to Send) Threshold
determines the packet size at which the system issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the
frame to prevent hidden node problems. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size
exceeds the value provided. A lower RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many
client devices are associating with the HSG or in areas where the clients are far apart and can
detect only the HSG but not each other. The default value is set at 2346.
