Mode – choose the unit’s antenna operating mode:

SISO

– single input single output. The device will use only one antenna for data transfer. The

antenna will be chosen automatically.

MIMO

– multiple input multiple outputs. The device will use two antennas for data transfer (two

Simultaneous streams).

Max data rate

– select the device data transmission rates in Mbps from the drop-down list. The APC

Will attempt to transmit data at the highest data rate set. If there will be an interference encountered,
The APC will step down to the highest rate that allows data transmission.

Transmit queue length, frames

7.2.9 Virtual AP

Virtual AP functionality is available only in Access Point (auto WDS) wireless mode.



Use the Configuration | Virtual AP page to configure to create up to 3 additional Virtual AP
interfaces. The Virtual AP defines a logical wireless network, and the APC can be configured to
provide additional 3 wireless networks on each device radio. All the VAPs may be active at the same
time meaning that client devices can associate to the APC using any of the VAP SSID.

The Virtual AP table displays a summary of all virtual radio interfaces running on the APC:

To create a new Virtual AP, click on + button to add new entry on the VAP table, then select this entry
and specify required parameters:

SSID

– specify the unique name for the VAP [string].

Broadcast SSID

– when this option is selected the particular SSID is visible during network scans on

a wireless station. W hen unselected, the VAP SSID is not visible and not broadcasted to wireless
stations.

Quality of service (WMM)

– enable to support quality of service for prioritizing traffic.

User isolation

– enable the user Layer 2 isolation. The Layer 2 isolation blocks the wireless clients

from communicating with each other.

Each VAP security is configured by default as an “open system”, which broadcasts a beacon signal
Including the configured SSID. For more secure network choose one of the security mechanisms for
Each VAP interface.
