Chapter 36 AP Profile Table 189 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit Radio Profile (continued) LABEL Rate Configuration DESCRIPTION This section controls the data rates permitted for clients. For each Rate, select a rate option from its list. The rates are: Multicast Settings Transmission Mode • 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. IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless network performance in terms of throughput. Use this section to set a transmission mode and maximum rate for multicast traffic. Set how the AP handles 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) MBSSID Settings Edit # SSID Profile OK Cancel Select Fixed Multicast Rate to send wireless multicast traffic at a single data rate. You must know the multicast application's bandwidth requirements and set it in the following field. If you set the multicast transmission mode to fixed multicast rate, set the data rate for multicast traffic here. For example, to deploy 4 Mbps video, select a fixed multicast rate higher than 4 Mbps. This section allows you to associate an SSID profile with the radio profile. Select and SSID and click this button to reassign it. The selected SSID becomes editable immediately upon clicking. This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific profile. Indicates which SSID profile is associated with this radio profile. Click OK to save your changes back to the UAG. Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes. 36.3 SSID Screen 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. 36.3.1 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 makes a connection to it.
