Chapter 8 Wireless Each field is described in the following table. Table 88 Configuration > Wireless > AP Management > AP Group > Add/Edit LABEL DESCRIPTION General Settings Group Name Description Radio 1/2 Setting OP Mode Enter a name for this group. You can use up to 31 alphanumeric characters. Dashes and underscores are also allowed. The name should start with a letter. Enter a description for this group. You can use up to 31 characters, spaces and underscores allowed. Select the operating mode for radio 1 or radio 2. AP Mode means the AP can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their data traffic through to the Zyxel Device to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an upstream gateway for managing). MON Mode means the AP monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then passes their information on to the Zyxel Device where it can be determined if those APs are friendly or rogue. If an AP is set to this mode it cannot receive connections from wireless clients. Root AP means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with other APs (in repeater mode) to form a ZyMesh to extend its wireless network. Repeater AP means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in either root AP or repeater mode). Note: To prevent bridge loops, do NOT set both radios on a managed AP to Repeater AP mode. Note: The root AP and repeater AP(s) in a ZyMesh must use the same country code and AP radio profile settings in order to communicate with each other. Radio 1/2 AP Profile Radio 1/2 Profile Radio 1/2 ZyMesh Profile Enable Wireless Bridging Output Power Note: Ensure you restart the managed AP after you change its operating mode. Select an AP profile from the list. If no profile exists, you can create a new one through the Create new Object menu. Select a monitor profile from the list. If no profile exists, you can create a new one through the Create new Object menu. This field is available only when the radio is in Root AP or Repeater AP mode. Select the ZyMesh profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater. This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater AP mode. Select this option to enable wireless bridging on the radio. The managed AP must support LAN provision and the radio should be in repeater mode. VLAN and bridge interfaces are created automatically according to the LAN port's VLAN settings. When wireless bridging is enabled, the managed repeater AP can still transmit data through its Ethernet port(s) after the ZyMesh link is up. Be careful to avoid bridge loops. The managed APs in the same ZyMesh must use the same static VLAN ID. Set the maximum output power of the AP. If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the managed AP to reduce interference with other APs. Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the Zyxel Device's effective broadcast radius. Edit Select an SSID and click this button to reassign it. The selected SSID becomes editable immediately upon clicking. ZyWALL ATP Series User's Guide 226
