| MCS Table | The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11n/g or |
|
| 802.11n/a is selected as the 802.11 Radio Mode. |
|
| IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called |
|
| MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is |
|
| an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless network performance |
|
| in terms of throughput. |
|
| For each MCS Rate |
|
| NWA use the data rate. Select Disable if you do not want the NWA |
|
| to use the data rate. |
|
|
|
| Enable WDS | Select this to turn on security for the NWA’s Wireless Distribution |
| Security (ZyAIR | System (WDS). A Wireless Distribution System is a wireless |
| PRO Series | connection between two or more APs. If you do not select the check |
| Compatible) | box, traffic between APs is not encrypted. |
|
| Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings |
|
| between the NWA and any wireless clients. |
|
| When you enable WDS security, also do the following: |
|
| • Select the type of security you want to use (TKIP or AES) to |
|
| secure traffic on your WDS. |
|
| • Enter a |
|
| your WDS. Each access point can use a different |
|
| • Configure WDS security and the relevant PSK in each of your |
|
| other access point(s). |
|
| Note: Other APs must use the same encryption method to |
|
| enable WDS security. |
|
|
|
| TKIP | Select this to enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security |
|
| on your WDS. This option is compatible with other ZyXEL access |
|
| points that support WDS security. Use this if the other access points |
|
| on your network support WDS security but do not have an AES |
|
| option. |
|
| Note: Check your other AP’s documentation to make sure it |
|
| supports WDS security. |
|
|
|
| AES | Select this to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on |
|
| your WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the |
|
| other access points on your network support it for the WDS. |
|
|
|
| Index | This is the index number of the bridge connection. |
|
|
|
| Active | Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise, |
|
| clear the check box to disable it. |
|
|
|
| Remote Bridge | Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address |
| MAC | format, that is, six hexadecimal character pairs, for example, |
|
| 12:34:56:78:9a:bc. |
|
|
|
| PSK | Type a |
|
| characters (including spaces and symbols). You must also set the |
|
| peer device to use the same |
|
| use a different |
