DESCRIPTION

 

 

Hide Name

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station

(SSID)

cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Enable Intra-

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select this

BSS Traffic

check box to enable Intra-BSS traffic.

Enable

Select this check box to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the ZyAIR LED.

Breathing 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.

Enable

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between

Spanning Tree

switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -

Control (STP)

compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any

 

two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the ZyAIR.

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. Select one of the following 100%(Full Power), 50%, 25% or 12.5%. These

 

percentages represent the following power ranges;

 

• 100%(Full Power) <11b>17dBm/<11g>13dBm (<11b>50mW/<11g>20mW),

 

•

50% <11b>15dBm/<11g>11dBm (<11b>32mW/<11g>12.6mW),

 

•

25% <11b>13dBm/<11g>9dBm (<11b>20mW/<11g>7.9mW),

 

•

12.5% <11b>11dBm/<11g>7dBm (<11b>12.6mW/<11g>5mW).

 

 

Preamble

Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short and

 

Dynamic.

 

See the section on preamble for more information.

 

 

802.11 Mode

Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to

 

associate with the ZyAIR.

 

Select 802.11g 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

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

Burst

(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.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyAIR.

 

 

Reset

Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

 

5.6.2 Bridge/Repeater Mode

The ZyAIR can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge mode.

The ZyAIR can establish up to five wireless links with other APs.
