g. If using DHCP Server, use the Address Assignment Range parameter to
specify a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses.
If a manually (static) mapped IP address is within the IP address range
specified, that IP address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid
this, ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
NOTE
For additional Mobility 7131 port configuration options, as well as radio, WLAN
and Quality of Service (QoS) options, refer to the Mobility 7131 Product
Reference Guide.
8. Enable the radio(s) using the Radio Enabl
e
checkbox(es). If using a single radio
model, enable the radio, then select either 802.11a/n (5 GHz) or 802.11b/g/n
(2.4 GHz) from the
RF Band of Operatio
n
field. Only one RF band option at a time is permissible in
a single-radio model. If using a dual-radio Mobility 7131, the user can enable
both RF bands.
9. Select the WLAN #1 tab (WLANs 1 - 4 are available within the Quick Setup
screen) to define its ESSID security scheme for basic operation.
NOTE
A maximum of 16 WLANs are configurable within the Mobility 7131 Wireless
Configuration screen. The limitation of 16 WLANs exists regardless of the
number of radios supported.
a. Enter the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) and name
associated with the WLAN.
b. Use the Available On
checkboxes to define whether the target WLAN is
operating over the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. Ensure the radio
selected has been enabled (see step 8).
10. Once the WLAN’s radio designations have been made, the radio must be
configured in respect to intended 2.4 or 5 GHz radio traffic and the antennas
used. Refer to Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration ->
Radio1 (or Radio2), and configure the Radio Settings field (at a minimum). If
you know the radio’s Properties, Performance and Beacon Settings, those
fields can also be defined at this time.
