Station Control; Security (Authentication Feature) - Black Box LW0050A Manual

CHAPTER 3: Using the Local Terminal for Unit Setup and Management
• Broadcast Relaying (Access Points Only) – Whether the unit performs
broadcast relaying. When Broadcast Relaying is enabled, Broadcast packets
originating in WLAN devices are transmitted by the Access Point back to the
WLAN devices, as well as to the LAN. If it is disabled, these packets are sent
only to the local wired LAN and are not sent back to the WLAN. Disable
Broadcast Relaying only if you know that all Broadcast messages from the
WLAN will be destined for the wired LAN.
• Unicast Relaying – Whether the unit performs Unicast relaying. When Unicast
Relaying is enabled, Unicast packets originating in WLAN devices can be
transmitted back to the WLAN devices. If this parameter is disabled, these
packets are not sent to the WLAN even if they are intended for devices on the
WLAN. Disable Unicast Relaying only if you know that all Unicast messages
from the WLAN will be destined for the local wired LAN.
