4. Configure the Security field as required to set the data protection requirements for the 
WLAN. 
5. Configure the Advanced field as required to set MU interoperability permissions, secure 
beacon transmissions, broadcast ESSID acceptance and Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
CAUTION A WLAN cannot be enabled for both mesh and hotspot support at the 
same time. Only one of these two options can be enabled at one time, 
as the AP-5131 GUI and CLI will prevent both from being enabled.
NOTE If 802.11a is selected as the radio used for the WLAN, the WLAN cannot 
use a Kerberos supported security policy. 
NOTE A WLAN configured to support Mesh should not have a Kerberos or 
802.1x EAP security policy defined for it, as these two authentication 
schemes are not supported within an AP-5131 Mesh network.
Security Policy Use the scroll down Security Policies menu to select the security 
scheme best suited for the new or revised WLAN. Click the Create 
button to jump to the New Security Policy screen where a new 
policy can be created to suit the needs of the WLAN. For more 
information, see Configuring WLAN Security Policies on page 5-29.
MU Access Control Select an ACL policy suiting the WLAN‘s MU introperability 
requirements from the drop-down menu. If the existing ACL 
policies do not satisfy the requirements of the WLAN, a new ACL 
policy can be created by pressing the Create button. For more 
information, see 
Configuring a WLAN Access Control List (ACL) on page 5-31.
Kerberos User Name  Displays the read-only Kerboros User Name used to associate the 
wireless client. This value is the ESSID of the AP-5131.
Kerberos Password Enter a Kerberos password if Kerberos has been selected as the 
security scheme from within the Security Policies field. The field 
is grayed out if Kerberos has not been selected for the WLAN. For 
information on configuring Kerberos, see 
Configuring Kerberos Authentication on page 6-9.
