Chapter 12 AP Profile Table 53 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit Profile (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Rate Configuration This section controls the data rates permitted for clients. For each Rate, select a rate option from its list. The rates are: WDS Settings • Fast Select - Select an 802.11 broadcast frequency to determine the baseline rate configuration. • Basic Rate (Mbps) - Set the basic rate configuration in Mbps. • Support Rate (Mbps) - Set the support rate configuration in Mbps. • MCS Rate - Set the MCS rate configuration. This section displays if you set the Operating Mode to AP+Bridge or Bridge/Repeater. Configure the security settings for the NWA3000-N series AP's Wireless Distribution System (WDS), the wireless connection between two or more APs. Select No Security to not encrypt the traffic between APs. Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the NWA3000-N series AP and any wireless clients. Select TKIP (ZyAIR Series Compatible) to enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your WDS. This option is compatible with other ZyXEL access points that support WDS security. Use this if the other access points on your network support WDS security but do not have an AES option. Note: Check your other AP's documentation to make sure it supports WDS security. Select AES to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on your WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the other access points on your network support it for the WDS. Note: At the time of writing, this option is compatible with other ZyXEL NWA access points only. When you enable WDS security, for each access point in your WDS enter the AP's MAC address and a pre-shared key. Each access point can use a different pre-shared key. Configure WDS security and the relevant PSK in each of your other access point(s). Edit Activate Inactivate # Status Note: Other APs must use the same encryption method to enable WDS security. Click this to edit the selected entry. To turn on an entry, select it and click Activate. To turn off an entry, select it and click Inactivate. This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific user. This field shows whether or not the entry is activated. NWA3000-N Series User's Guide 153
