Chapter 13 AP Profile

NWA/WAC/WAX Series User’s Guide

139

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 57

Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID > SSID List > Add/Edit SSID Profile

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Create new

Object

Select an object type from the list to create a new one associated with this SSID profile.

Profile Name

Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters for the profile name. This name is only visible in the

Web Configurator and is only for management purposes. Spaces and underscores are

allowed.

SSID

Enter the SSID name for this profile. This is the name visible on the network to wireless clients.

Enter up to 32 characters, spaces and underscores are allowed.

Security Profile

Select a security profile from this list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the

Create new Object

menu to create one.

Note: It is highly recommended that you create security profiles for all of your SSIDs to

enhance your network security.

MAC Filtering

Profile

Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use

the

Create new Object

menu to create one.

MAC filtering allows you to limit the wireless clients connecting to your network through a

particular SSID by wireless client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not in

the MAC filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections.

The

disable

setting means no MAC filtering is used.

Layer-2 Isolation

Profile

Select a layer-2 isolation profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use

the

Create new Object

menu to create one.

Layer-2 isolation allows you to prevent wireless clients associated with your Zyxel Device from

communicating with other wireless clients, APs, computers or routers in a network.

The

disable

setting means no layer-2 isolation is used.

QoS

Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this SSID. Access categories

minimize the delay of data packets across a wireless network. Certain categories, such as

video or voice, are given a higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets.

QoS access categories are as follows:

disable

: Turns off QoS for this SSID. All data packets are treated equally and not tagged with

access categories.

WMM

: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The Zyxel Device assigns access categories

to the SSID by examining data as it passes through it and making a best guess effort. If

something looks like video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such.

WMM_VOICE

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. This is recommended if an

SSID is used for activities like placing and receiving VoIP phone calls.

WMM_VIDEO

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. This is recommended for

activities like video conferencing.

WMM_BEST_EFFORT

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as “best effort,” meaning the data

travels the best route it can without displacing higher priority traffic. This is good for activities

that do not require the best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet.

WMM_BACKGROUND

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low priority or “background

traffic”, meaning all other access categories take precedence over this one. If traffic from an

SSID does not have strict throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended.

For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it.

Rate Limiting

Downlink

Define the maximum incoming transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a per-station

basis.
