Chapter 8 Wireless Configuration Table 23 Wireless: Access Point LABEL DESCRIPTION SSID Profile The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. Select an SSID Profile from the drop-down list box. Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen (see Section 9.2 on page 147 for information on configuring SSID). Rates Configuration 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. This section controls the data rates permitted for clients. For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The options are: Enable Antenna Diversity Enable Breathing LED Enable Spanning Tree Control (STP) Enable Roaming • Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access point at this speed. • Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when permitted to do so by the AP. • Disabled: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed. Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple antennas to reduce signal interference. Select this box to disable the WLAN LED (light). Clear this box to enable the WLAN LED. (R)STP (Section 8.4.1 on page 139) 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. 8.3.2 Bridge / Repeater Mode Use this screen to have the NWA act as a wireless network bridge / repeater and establish wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge / repeater mode. 126 NWA-3500/NWA-3550 User's Guide
