The settings for the cellular networks are made at various points in the configuration:
- Some parameters concern the physical WLAN interfaces. Some LANCOM models have just one WLAN interface (single radio access point), and others have a second WLAN module integrated (dual radio access point). The settings for the physical WLAN interfaces apply to all of the logical cellular networks supported by this module. These parameters include, for example, the transmission power of the antenna and the operating mode of the WLAN module (access point or client).
- Other parameters are only related to the Logical cellular networks, which are supported by a physical interface. These include, for example, the SSID or the activation of encryption, such as 802.11i with AES.
- A third group of parameters affect the wireless network operation, but are not significant only to WLANs. These include, for example, the protocol filter in the LAN bridge.
