3.3 Wireless Interface Configuration
3.3.1 AP Mode Settings
Please find the AP mode parameter page below:
Enable Radio: On WLA-9000AP, both wireless interfaces can work independently from the
other wireless interface. It’s possible to enable/disable a wireless interface without impact
on the other.
Network ID (SSID): The SSID is the network name used to identify a wireless network. The
SSID must be the same for all devices in the wireless network (i.e. in the same BSS).
Several access points on a network can have the same SSID. The SSID length is up to 32
characters. The default SSID is “AirLive1” and “AirLive2”. In WDS bridge mode, the
method allowing association is MAC ID registration. There will not SSID field available.
Disable SSID Broadcasting: An access point periodically broadcasts its SSID along with
other information, which allows client stations to learn its existence while searching for
access points in a wireless network. Check Disable SSID Broadcasting if you do not want
the device to broadcast the SSID.
Mode: The option of two interfaces are different. Only “802.11a” and “SuperA” are available
for the WLAN 1 Interface. “11g/b”, “11g only”, “11b”, “11a”, “Super G” or “Super A” are
available on WLAN 2 interface.
Select “11g/b”, “11g only”, “11b”, “11a”, “Super G” or “Super A”. The wireless module is
IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b compliant, and choosing “11g/b” allows both 802.11b and
802.11g client stations to get associated. However, choosing “11g” allows only 802.11g
client stations to get associated and get better overall performance. 802.11a is not
compliant with either 802.11b or 802.11g; choosing “11a” only allows 802.11a client
stations to get associated. Super A and Super G are proprietary transmission of Atheros
Chip maker. Only equipments of same chip maker provide this feature.
Channel: Select a channel from the drop down menu. All devices in a BSS must use the
same channel. You can select Auto to let the system pick up the best channel for you.
