Chapter 13 AP Profile Table 55 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Radio > Add/Edit Profile (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Enable Signal Threshold Select the check box to use the signal threshold to ensure wireless clients receive good throughput. This allows only wireless clients with a strong signal to connect to the AP. Station Signal Threshold Clear the check box to not require wireless clients to have a minimum signal strength to connect to the AP. Set a minimum client signal strength. A wireless client is allowed to connect to the AP only when its signal strength is stronger than the specified threshold. Disassociate Station Threshold -20 dBm is the strongest signal you can require and -105 is the weakest. Set a minimum kick-off signal strength. When a wireless client's signal strength is lower than the specified threshold, the Zyxel Device disconnects the wireless client from the AP. Allow Station Connection after Multiple Retries Station Retry Count Allow 802.11n/ ac/ax stations only Multicast Settings Transmission Mode -20 dBm is the strongest signal you can require and -105 is the weakest. Select this option to allow a wireless client to try to associate with the AP again after it is disconnected due to weak signal strength. Set the maximum number of times a wireless client can attempt to re-connect to the AP Select this option to allow only 802.11 n/ac/ax clients to connect, and reject 802.11a/b/g clients. Specify how the Zyxel Device handles wireless multicast traffic. Select Multicast to Unicast to broadcast wireless multicast traffic to all of the wireless clients as unicast traffic. Unicast traffic dynamically changes the data rate based on the application's bandwidth requirements. The retransmit mechanism of unicast traffic provides more reliable transmission of the multicast traffic, although it also produces duplicate packets. Multicast Rate(Mbps) OK Cancel Select Fixed Multicast Rate to send multicast traffic to all wireless clients at a single data rate. You must know the multicast application's bandwidth requirements and set it in the following field. If you set Transmission Mode to Fixed Multicast Rate, select a data rate at which the Zyxel Device transmits multicast packets to wireless clients. For example, to deploy 4 Mbps video, select a fixed multicast rate higher than 4 Mbps. Click OK to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device. Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes. 13.3 SSID The SSID screens allow you to configure three different types of profiles for your networked APs: an SSID list, which can assign specific SSID configurations to your APs; a security list, which can assign specific encryption methods to the APs when allowing wireless clients to connect to them; and a MAC filter list, which can limit connections to an AP based on wireless clients MAC addresses. 13.3.1 SSID List This screen allows you to create and manage SSID configurations that can be used by the APs. An SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, is basically the name of the wireless network to which a wireless client can connect. The SSID appears as readable text to any device capable of scanning for wireless frequencies (such as the WiFi adapter in a laptop), and is displayed as the wireless network name when a person NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide 136
