Chapter 8 Wireless Screen Table 26 Wireless: MBSSID LABEL DESCRIPTION Select SSID Profile An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the NWA's BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating with the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. Index Active Profile Enable Antenna Diversity Enable Spanning Tree Control (STP) Enable Roaming Note: If you are configuring the NWA from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the NWA'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 NWA's new settings. Select the check box to activate an SSID profile. Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise, clear the check box to disable it. Select the profile(s) of the SSIDs you want to use in your wireless network. You can have up to eight BSSs running on the NWA simultaneously, one of which is always the pre-configured VoIP_SSID profile and another of which is always the preconfigured Guest_SSID profile. Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen. (For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only) Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple antennas to reduce signal interference. (R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between 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 NWA. Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select this checkbox to enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or more NWAs on the same subnet. Apply Reset Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations must have the same SSID to allow roaming. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 8.3 Technical Reference This section provides technical background information about the topics covered in this chapter.
