- Wireless LAN enabled/operating This switch allows the logical WLAN to be activated/deactivated separately.
- Network name (SSID) Define a unique SSID (the network name) for each of the logical wireless LANs required. Only network cards that have the same SSID can register with this wireless network.
- Suppress SSID broadcast You can operate your wireless LAN either in public or private mode. A wireless LAN in public mode can be contacted by any mobile station in the area without the SSID being named. By suppressing SSIDs in the broadcasts, you place your wireless LAN into a privacy mode. In this operation mode, mobile stations that do not know the network name (SSID) are excluded from taking part in the wireless LAN. Activate the suppression of SSID broadcasting if you wish to prevent WLAN clients from registering with your network without naming the SSID.
- MAC filter enabled The MAC addresses of the clients that are allowed to associate with
an access point are stored in the MAC filter list (Wireless LAN / Stations
/ Stations). The 'MAC filter activated' switch can be used to switch off the
use of the MAC filter list for individual logical networks.
Note: Use of the MAC filter list is required for logical networks in which the clients register via LEPS with an individual passphrase. The passphrase used by LEPS is also entered into the MAC filter list. The MAC filter list is always consulted for registrations with an individual passphrase, even if this option is deactivated.
- Maximum number of clients Here you set the maximum number of clients that may associate with this access point. Additional clients wanting to associate will be rejected.
- Client-bridge support Enable this option for an access point if you have enabled the
client-bridge support for a client station in WLAN client mode.
Note: Client-bridge mode can only be used between two LANCOM devices.
