DESCRIPTION

 

 

Select SSID Profile

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a

 

wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access

 

point (AP) must have the same SSID.

 

Note: If you are configuring the ZyAIR from a computer

 

connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyAIR’s

 

SSID or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection

 

when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the

 

wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyAIR’s new

 

settings.

Index

Select the check box to activate an ESS on the ZyAIR.

 

 

Profile

Select an SSID Profile from the drop-down list box. Configure SSID profiles in

 

the SSID screen.

Enable Intra-BSS

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

Traffic

this check box to enable Intra-BSS traffic.

Enable Breathing LED

Select this check box 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.

Enable Spanning Tree

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

Control (STP)

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