Supported features

LCOS LX supports the following features for WLC operations (from the perspective of the WLAN controller):

Area Feature Supported? Remarks
WLAN Controller > General Password synchronization Yes  
WLAN scheduling Yes  
Specify alternative WLAN controller No  
WLAN Controller > Profiles > Logical WLAN networks (SSIDs) LAN on the AP with VLAN tagging Yes  
WLC tunnel Yes From LCOS LX 5.32 Rel in conjunction with LCOS from 10.42 RU3 on the WLAN controller
Encryption – WPA2 Yes  
Encryption – WPA3 Yes  
Encryption – Enhanced Open Yes  
Encryption – Enhanced Open Transitional No  
802.1X Yes  
RADIUS profile Yes  
2.4- / 5 GHz mode Yes  
Standalone mode Yes  
802.11u / Hotspot 2.0 No  
OKC Yes  
MAC check Yes  
RADIUS accounting Yes  
Inter-station traffic Yes  
Fast roaming Yes  
Base rate adjustable No  
Client bridge support No  
Bandwidth limitation per SSID Yes  
Bandwidth limitation per client Yes The Client TX bandwidth limit does not work when using a WLC tunnel.
Maximum count of clients Yes  
Min. client signal strength Yes  
Client disassociation signal strength No  
Location-based services (LBS) No  
Convert to unicast Yes LCOS LX cannot convert DHCP. So with the setting DHCP the unicast conversion in LCOS LX stays disabled and with DHCP and multicast, only multicast packets are converted to unicast.
Transmit only unicasts No Broadcast packets cannot be discarded with LCOS LX.
U-APSD Activated permanently  
Encrypt mgmt frames Yes  
WLAN-Controller > Profiles > Physical WLAN parameters Country setting Yes  
Configure 2.4 GHz mode Yes If a setting for the 2.4 GHz band is selected but is not supported by the access point (e.g. 802.11ax in combination with an LW-500), a profile error occurs and the WLAN will not be broadcast by that access point.
Configure 5 GHz mode Yes If a setting for the 2.4 GHz band is selected but is not supported by the access point (e.g. 802.11ax in combination with an LW-500), a profile error occurs and the WLAN will not be broadcast by that access point.
Configure 5 GHz sub-bands Yes  
Set DTIM period No The DTIM period in LCOS LX is fixed at 1.
Set the background scan interval No  
Set antenna gain Yes  
Set TX power reduction Yes LCOS LX always calculates the reduction based on a transmission power of 30 dB. This results in the following constellations for the various frequency bands and the sub-bands in the 5 GHz band:
  • 2.4 GHz with 20 dB permitted transmission power: Implementing a transmission power reduction of 10 dB requires a value of 20 dB to be entered.
  • 5 GHz sub-band 1 with 23 dB permitted transmission power: Implementing a transmission power reduction of 3 dB requires a value of 10 dB to be entered.
  • 5 GHz sub-band 2 with 30 dB permitted transmission power: In this case, no conversion is required. Entering a value of 5 dB also results in a 5 dB reduction in transmission power.
To activate the VLAN module Activating the VLAN module in LCOS LX is not necessary and has no effect.
ARC: Client steering Yes LCOS LX only supports AP-based band steering. Using the options Yes and Client management in LCOS LX activates the AP-based band steering.
ARC: Adaptive RF Optimization No  
Enable QoS according to 802.11e (WME) Activated permanently  
Indoor-only mode activated Yes  
Report seen unknown clients No  
WLAN Controller > Profiles > Advanced profiles Device LED profiles Yes  
AutoWDS No  
LBS server No  
Wireless ePaper No  
Wireless IDS No  
WLAN Controller > AP update Firmware management Yes  
Script management No  
WLAN Controller > Stations/LEPS LEPS-U Yes  
LEPS-MAC Yes  
Other ARC: RF optimization No  
Configuration delay (WLAN profiles) No  
Source address (RADIUS profiles) No  
IP parameter profile (AP configuration) Yes  
Antenna grouping (AP configuration) No
