3.3.1 AP Mode Settings
Please find the AP mode parameter page below:
Enable Radio: On WLA-9000AP, both wireless interfaces can work independently from the
other wireless interface. It’s possible to enable/disable a wireless interface without impact
on the other.
Network ID (SSID): The SSID is the network name used to identify a wireless network. The
SSID must be the same for all devices in the wireless network (i.e. in the same BSS).
Several access points on a network can have the same SSID. The SSID length is up to 32
characters. The default SSID is “ AirLive1” and “AirLive2”. In WDS bridge mode, the
method allowing association is MAC ID registration. There will not SSID field available.
Disable SSID Broadcasting: An access point periodically broadcasts its SSID along with
other information, which allows client stations to learn its existence while searching for
access points in a wireless network. Check Disable SSID Broadcasting if you do not want
the device to broadcast the SSID.
Mode: The option of two interfaces are different. Only “802.11a” and “SuperA” are available
for the WLAN 1 Interface. “11g/b”, “11g only”, “11b”, “11a”, “Super G” or “Super A” are
available on WLAN 2 interface.
Select “11g/b”, “11g only”, “11b”, “11a”, “Super G” or “Super A”. The wireless module is
IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b compliant, and choosing “ 11g/b” allows both 802.11b and
802.11g client stations to get associated. However, choosing “ 11g” allows only 802.11g
client stations to get associated and get better overall performance. 802.11a is not
compliant with either 802.11b or 802.11g; choosing “11a” only allows 802.11a client
stations to get associated. Super A and Super G are proprietary transmission of Atheros
Chip maker. Only equipments of same chip maker provide this feature.
Channel: Select a channel from the drop down menu. All devices in a BSS must use the
same channel. You can select Auto to let the system pick up the best channel for you.
