256CHAPTER 7: CONFIGURING WIRELESS PARAMETERS

„Long Retry Count—Number of times (1 to 15) the MAP transmits an unacknowledged unicast frame that is equal to or longer than the fragment threshold before discarding the frame. The default is 5.

Client Timeout Tab

The Client Timeout tab lists settings for client session timers:

„User idle timeout—Number of seconds a client can remain idle before the client’s session is changed to the Disassociated state. A client is considered to be idle until it either sends data or responds to an idle client probe. You can specify from 20 to 86400 seconds. The default is 180 seconds (3 minutes.) To disable the timer, specify 0.

„Idle client probing—When enabled, sends a keepalive probe (a null data frame) to each wireless client. The frame is sent as a unicast. The WX expects a reply in the form of an Ack. Idle client probing is enabled by default.

„Web-portal session timeout—Specifies how many seconds MSS waits after a Web-Portal client enters the Disassociated state before terminating the client’s session. This can be useful if you want to allow a client connecting through Web Portal WebAAA to enter standby or hibernation mode, then be able to resume its session after waking up, without having to log in again. You can specify from 5 seconds up to 2800 seconds (a little over 46 minutes). The default is 5 seconds. The timeout change applies globally for all Web-Portal sessions on the service profile’s SSID. This option applies only to Web-Portal service profiles.

Rate Configuration Tab

The Rate Configuration tab lists the data rates supported and used by MAP radios. For each radio type (802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g), the following rates are individually configurable:

„Beacon rate—Data rate at which the radio sends beacon (SSID advertisement) frames and probe-response frames. The valid rates depend on the radio type and are the same as the mandatory rates. However, you cannot set the beacon rate to a disabled rate. The default depends on the radio type:

„802.11a—6.0

„802.11b—2.0

„802.11g—2.0
