| Configuration Guide
SAP MTU
(1024-1578 bytes)
Specify the Service Access Point (SAP) maximum transmission unit (MTU) in bytes. The
range is 1024 to 1578 bytes.
Bootstrap Threshold
(1-65535)
8
Number of consecutive missed heartbeats on a GRE tunnel (heartbeats are
sent once per second on each tunnel) before an AP rebootstraps. Adjust the bootstrap
threshold to 30 if the network experiences packet loss. This makes the AP recover more
slowly in the event of a failure, but it will be more tolerant to heartbeat packet loss.
Dell PowerConnect W recommends the default maximum request retries and bootstrap
threshold settings for most mesh networks; however, if you must keep your mesh
network alive, you can modify the settings as described in this section. The modified
settings are not applicable if mesh portals are directly connected to the controller.
Request Retry Interval
10
Enter in seconds the amount of time for retries. The supported range is from 1 to 65,535
seconds.
Maximum Request
Retries
10
Maximum number of times to retry AP-generated requests. The default is 10 times. If you
must modify this setting, Dell PowerConnect W recommends a value of 10,000. The
range is from 1 to 65,535.
Keepalive Interval
(30-65535)
60
Define the keepalive interval in a range of 30 to 65,535 seconds.
Dump Server
Enter the IP address for the dump server.
Telnet
No
Enables Telnet in this system profile.
SNMP Sys-contact
Enter an IP address to the value for SNMP sys_ contact, the SNMP system Sys location.
RFprotect Server IP
Enter the IP address of the RFprotect server.
RFprotect Backup
Server IP
Enter an IP address.
When an Dell PowerConnect W controller is present in an Dell PowerConnect W
RFprotect system, an Dell PowerConnect W AP that is acting as an RFprotect sensor
can be configured and managed from the controller. As a Managed Sensor, the Dell
PowerConnect W AP is managed by the controller but sends collected security data
about the wireless environment to an RFprotect Server.
Configure Aeroscout
RTLS Server
No
Enable this option if you wish to support an Aeroscout RTLS server.
Ortonics Walljack
Yes
Specify whether the Dell PowerConnect W controller uses an Ortonics walljack.
Ortronics Wi-Jack and Wi-Jack Duo thin client access points are centrally configured
and managed by the Dell PowerConnect W Networks wireless controllers to provide a
high performance wireless network that integrates seamlessly into the structured
cabling infrastructure. When enabled, this setting requires an Ortonics Access Point
License.
Ortonics LED Off Time-
Out
Yes
Enable the LED time-out function for Ortonics wall jacks when used. When enabled, this
setting requires an Ortonics Access Point License.
Ortonics Low Temp
100
Enter the low and high temperatures in Celsius for Ortonics wall jacks. The range is from
0C to 255C degrees. When Ortonics is enabled, these settings require an Ortonics
Access Point License.
Ortonics High Temp
110
Configure RTLS Server
No
Enable this setting for Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) server values and the number
of consecutive missed heartbeats on a GRE tunnel before an AP reboots traps.
Remote-AP DHCP
Server VLAN
(1-4094)
Specify the VLAN to be associated with the remote-AP DHCP server. This field requires
a remote access points license, when used.
