Chapter 4: Configuring the Radios
Table 29. 802.11g Radio Parameter Descriptions (Continued)
Parameter | Explanation |
|
|
|
|
Node Type | Configure the 802.11g radio to master, station, or |
| disabled: |
| Master: The radio always operates in Master |
| mode. The radio becomes active to accept |
| connections for wireless devices when the |
| access point joins the spanning tree. All service |
| sets to be configured for a VLAN must be set to |
| Master. |
| Station: The radio always operates in Station |
| mode. The radio searches for an access point |
| with an active Master mode radio to connect to. If |
| a connection is established, this link becomes a |
| possible connection to the root. |
| Disabled: The radio is disabled. |
| You can create up to four service sets for this |
| radio by setting the Node Type as follows: |
| If the primary service set is Master, up to |
| three secondary SSIDs may be set to Master. |
| If the primary SSID is Station, all secondary |
| service sets are disabled and do not appear |
| on screen. |
| If the primary service set is Disabled, all |
| secondary service sets (and the physical |
| radio) are disabled. |
|
|
SSID | Enter a unique SSID for each enabled service |
(Network Name) | set. You can configure up to four service sets for |
| this radio. The SSID is case sensitive and cannot |
| be more than 32 alphanumeric characters. |
| 802.11g radios can be configured to |
| communicate with other 802.11g and/or 802.11b |
| radios with the same SSIDs. |
| You need to assign the same SSID to the |
| wireless end devices that will connect to the |
| radio. |
|
|
Member Limit | Controls the maximum number of devices that |
| can be associated with this enabled service set. |
