FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Edit SSID Profile

Use [SPACE BAR] to choose Yes and press [ENTER] to go to Menu 3.5.6 - SSID Profile

 

Edit. This field is only available when you select MESSID in the Operating Mode field.

Select SSID Profile

Use [SPACE BAR] to choose an SSID profile. This field is only available when you select

 

Access Point in the Operating Mode field.

Preamble

Use [SPACE BAR] to choose a preamble type. Choices are Long, Short and Dynamic.

 

The default setting is Long.

 

See the section on preamble for more information.

 

 

802.11 Mode

Select B Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the

 

ZyAIR.

 

Select G Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the

 

ZyAIR.

 

Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

 

associate with the ZyAIR. The transmission rate of your ZyAIR might be reduced.

Max. Frame Burst

Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks

 

(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the

 

performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks. Maximum

 

Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the ZyAIR transmits IEEE

 

802.11g wireless traffic only.

 

Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800 recommended).

 

Enter 0 to disable this feature.

Breathing LED

Select Yes to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the ZyAIR LED.

 

The blue ZyAIR LED is on when the ZyAIR is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is being

 

transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check box to turn this LED off even

 

when the ZyAIR is on and data is being transmitted/received.

Block Intra-BSS Traffic

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select No to allow

 

Intra-BSS traffic, select Yes to block all Intra-BSS traffic.

Output Power

Set the output power of the ZyAIR in this field. If there is a high density of APs within an

 

area, decrease the output power of the ZyAIR to reduce interference with other APs.The

 

options are 17dBm (50mW), 15dBm (32mW), 13dBm (20mW), 11dBm (12.6mW) or 7dBm

 

(5mW) for IEEE802.11b mode and 13dBm (20mW), 11dBm (12.6mW), 9dBm (7.9mW),

 

7dBm (5mW) or 3dBm (2mW) for IEEE802.11g mode.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.

17.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter

Your ZyAIR checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so MAC- based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.

Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your ZyAIR.

1From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 – LAN Setup.
