WLAN—Advanced Access Port Settings
Primary WLAN Set the Primary WLAN field when the 802.11a broadcast
protocol is used. When a WLAN is associated with a
801.11a broadcaster only one ESSID can be broadcast from
the Access Port (even though three are supported by the
switch) . This field specifies which ESSID to broadcast.
Security Beacon Select the Security Beacon checkbox if the WLAN
associated with the Access Port needs to be secure. If this
feature is selected, the WLAN will not broadcast the ESSID.
This selection eliminates the possibility of hackers tapping in
to the WLAN without authorization by “stealing” the ESSID.
9. Click OK when finished setting the beacon settings.
