Configuring the AP

 

 

Subnet Mask

The first two sets of numbers specify the network

 

domain, the next set specifies the subset of

 

hosts within a larger network and the final set

 

specifies an individual computer. These values

 

help divide a network into subnetworks and

 

simplify routing and data transmission. The

 

subnet mask defines the size of the subnet.

DNS IP Address

Primary Domain Name Server IP address.

Additional DNS

The IP address of the additional DNS servers

 

available. A maximum of two additional DNS

 

servers are available.

Net_ID (ESS)

The unique 32-character, alphanumeric, case-

 

sensitive wireless network identifier of the AP.

Antenna Selection

Enables selection of antenna diversity. Options

 

are:

 

 

Full Diversity

 

 

– the radio receives on the primary or

 

 

secondary antenna (which ever has the

 

 

best signal strength) and transmits on

 

 

the last antenna it received on.

 

Primary only

 

 

– the radio transmits and receives on the

 

 

primary antenna only.

 

Secondary only

 

 

– the radio transmits and receives on the

 

 

secondary antenna only

 

Rx Diversity

 

 

– the radio receives on the primary or

 

 

secondary antenna (whichever has the

 

 

best signal strength) and transmits on

 

 

the primary only.
