Chapter 6 Wireless Setup

This chapter describes how to configure the Wireless operation using Menu 5 — Wireless Setup.

From the main menu, enter 5 to open Menu 5 –Wireless Setup.

The ExpWave AP forces the ExpWave AC into an unauthorized state that allows the AC to send only an EAP start message. The AP returns an EAP message requesting the user's identity. The AC returns the identity, which is then forwarded by the AP to the authentication server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the user and then returns an accept or reject message back to the AP. Assuming an accept was received, the AP changes the client's state to authorized and normal traffic can now take place.

Service Set the station is to connect to. Wireless clients associating

 

 

to the Access Point must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive

 

 

name for the wireless LAN. This field can be up to 32 characters.

RTS

(Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling

Threshold

RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value

(default)

 

will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be

 

 

larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size shall

 

 

have the effect of turning off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this

 

 

attribute to zero shall have the effect of turning on the RTS/CTS

 

 

handshake. Enter a value between 0 and 2432.

 

Frag.

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for

2432

Threshold

directed messages. Data will be transmitted in fragments with its size

(default)

 

not exceeding this value. Enter a value between 256 and 2432. The

 

 

value of this attribute shall never be less than 256.
