Chapter 34 Object Table 264 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Add/Edit Radio Profile (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Station Signal Threshold 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 -76 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 Multicast Settings Transmission Mode -20 dBm is the strongest signal you can require and -90 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 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) 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. Click OK to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device. Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving your changes. 34.3.2 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. 34.3.2.1 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.
