WLAN—Advanced Access Port Settings

 

 

 

Primary WLAN

Set the Primary WLAN field when the 802.11a broadcast

 

 

protocol is used. When a WLAN is associated with a

 

 

801.11a broadcaster only one ESSID can be broadcast from

 

 

the Access Port (even though three are supported by the

 

 

switch) . This field specifies which ESSID to broadcast.

 

Security Beacon

Select the Security Beacon checkbox if the WLAN

 

 

associated with the Access Port needs to be secure. If this

 

 

feature is selected, the WLAN will not broadcast the ESSID.

 

 

This selection eliminates the possibility of hackers tapping in

 

 

to the WLAN without authorization by “stealing” the ESSID.

 

9.Click OK when finished setting the beacon settings.

10.Click the Apply button to save changes
