Chapter 4: Basic Settings

Wireless Separation: Wireless separation enhances the security of network transmission. Under the mode (except wireless client mode), enable “Wireless Separation” to prevent the communication among associated wireless clients.

WMM Support: WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communication to define a priority limit on the basis of data type under AP mode only, so time-sensitive data, such as video/audio data, may own a higher priority than common data. To enable WMM, the wireless client should also support it.

Max. Station Number: By checking the “Max. Station Num,” the extender will only allow up to 32 wireless clients to associate with it for better bandwidth for each client. By disabling the checkbox, the extender will allow up to 128 clients to connect, but it is likely to cause network congestion or poor performance.

Security Setting

To prevent unauthorized radios from accessing data transmitting over the connectivity, the IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE provides you with rock solid security settings. For detailed information, go to Section 5.2, Wireless Security Settings.

4.11 VLAN Tab

If your network uses VLANs, you can assign one SSID to a VLAN, and client devices using the SSID are grouped in that VLAN. To allow users on the VLAN to access the Web page of the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender, you need to enable “Enable 802.1Q VLAN” and assign a management VLAN ID for your device. Make sure the assigned management VLAN ID is identical to your network VLAN ID to enable you to access the Web page of the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender.
