VAP Templates
Save VAP Template From the WiFi View inside the Network Node configuration it is possible to save the VAP into a predefined ISP Network entry. By just Selecting a VAP and clicking on “Save as Template”, as show in the picture below. New VAP From ...
Hide SSID, L2 Isolation and Beacon Interval
Hide SSID The Hide SSID option will “hide” the SSID, disabling it in the transmitted beacon, when enabled. This can be used to create “security by obscurity” - in situations where the AP does not need to advertise the SSID name. L2 ...
ACL Filtering
ACL The ACL form is used to setup and modify the MAC filtering list. MAC filtering allows the user to either limit specific MAC addresses from associating with the AP, or specifically indicates which MAC addresses can associate with the AP. An ACL ...
Location Awareness (Node configuration)
Location Awareness In conjunction with the Location Awareness features on the Controller, the options below enable the sending of the VAP/AP location value to the Controller via Radius messages. The messages are sent upon a user association i.e. ...
802.11h
The 802.11h option configured through the radio VAP enables or disables support for 802.11h regulatory information selection. For the AP, this enables or disables transmission of country IE (Information Element) information in the beacon. Stations ...
Quick Station Kickout
The Quick Station Kickout option configured through the radio VAP sets the station (client) quick kickout max consecutive transmit retries value. If a station node is not a link node and the failed TX count reaches this value, kick out the node. ...
Green AP
The Green AP options configured through the radio VAP provides power utilization reduction when idling in AP mode, waiting for a client connection. It may reduce responsiveness to initial client requests slightly if no other clients are connected.
AMPDU
AMPDU One of the fundamental features of 802.11n/ac etc is the Aggregation of Frames (packets) into a single larger frame. Block-ACK messages are sent to acknowledge the successful receipt of an aggregated frame. Aggregation works to decrease the ...
CCK Disabled
Complementary Code Keying (CCK) is a modulation scheme used with wireless networks (WLANs) that employ the IEEE 802.11b specification (2.4Ghz). Modern devices don’t need CCK data rates and using them can lead to spectrum inefficiencies. When using ...
Dynamic ACK
ACK timeout is a critical timing value for long distance links and is often misconfigured. Any links that are further than ~700m requires an ACK timeout adjustment (at both ends of a link). The ACK timeout value is increased as the link distance ...
