DESCRIPTION

 

 

Profile Name

This is the name that identifying this profile.

 

 

SSID

When a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that is

 

broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.

 

 

Security

Select a security profile to use with this SSID profile. See Section 6.6 on page 74 for

 

more information. If you do not want this profile to use wireless security, select

 

Disabled.

 

 

RADIUS

Select a RADIUS profile from the drop-down list box, if you have a RADIUS server

 

configured. If you do not need to use RADIUS authentication, ignore this field. See

 

Section 6.7 on page 87 for more information.

 

 

MAC Filtering

Select a MAC filter profile from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to use MAC

 

filtering on this profile, select Disabled.

 

 

QoS

Select the Quality of Service priority for this BSS’s traffic.

 

• If you select WMM from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet depends on the

 

packet’s IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. If a packet has no WMM value assigned to

 

it, it is assigned the default priority.

 

• If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BESTEFFORT or

 

WMM_BACKGROUND, the NWA1121-NI applies that QoS setting to all of that

 

SSID’s traffic.

 

• If you select None, the NWA1121-NI applies no priority to traffic on this SSID.

 

Note: When you configure an SSID profile’s QoS settings, the NWA1121-NI applies the

 

same QoS setting to all of the profile’s traffic.
