are supplied by BW1250:
AP + AP mode
AP + Bridge mode
AP + AP Mode
AP + AP configuration can be for client density environment.
The typical usage that is recommended is: 11g AP + 11a AP.
Figure 6 – AP +AP application mode
AP + Bridge Mode
AP + Bridge configuration is for environment with last mile issue.
The typical usage that is recommended is: 11g AP + 11a Bridge.

Figure 7 – AP +Bridge application mode
Because of the reason of the antenna interference, the performance will deteriorate
dramatically if the same band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) is used both on the two RF
modules. It is strongly recommended that one RF module uses 2.4GHz and the
other uses 5GHz.

Radio Name – specify which wireless interface of BW1250 is shown
Domain – select the regulatory domain according to your country
The full frequency range of the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is not permitted for use in all countries. Depending
on your selection of regulatory domains, the available frequency channels will vary.
Before changing radio settings manually, make sure that your settings comply with
government regulations. At all times, it ‘s the responsibility of the end-user to
ensure that the installation complies with local radio regulations. Refer to the
Appendix:
C) Regulatory Domain/Channels.
Channels – select the channel that the access point will use to transmit and receive information. If
one channel is defined, it acts as default channel. Channels list will vary depending on selected
regulatory domain and selected band. Multiple frequency channels are used to avoid interference
between two radios of this AP, and between nearby access points. If you wish to operate more than
one access point in overlapping coverage areas, we recommend a distance of at least four channels
between the chosen channels. For example, for three Access Points in close proximity choose
channels 1, 6 and 11 for 11b/g or channels 36, 40 and 64 for 11a.
Band – working band on which your radio is working.
Five bands are supplied: 5GHz (11a), , 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g), 2.4GHz (11g only), 2.4GHz (Mixed
11g WiFi) and 2.4GHz (11g only WiFi).
If 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g) or 2.4GHz (11g only) is selected, the radio will work on 2.4GHz for a better
performance. 2.4GHz (11g only) mode only allows 11g client access. 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g) mode
allows 11b/11g client access.
2.4GHz (Mixed 11g WiFi) or 2.4GHz (11g only WiFi) can make sure to compatible with Wi-Fi.
If 5GHz (11a) is selected, the radio will work on 5GHz 11a mode.
Only under Bridge mode, Turbo Mode 11a can be set.
Output Power - indicates output power of the RF card in dBm, antenna gain is not included.
Total Output Power (EIRP) = Antenna Gain + RF card output power
The range of the EIRP varies with channel and regulatory domain.
Antenna – show the type of Antenna.
RTS Threshold – when set, this settings specifies the maximum packet size beyond which RTS/CTS
mechanism is be invokes. The value range of this is [0 …2347]. Default is 2347 which means that
RTS is disabled.
Enable DCA – Enable or Disable DCA service. DCA can help to choose the best working channel
automatically. And static channel selection will be forbidden if DCA is enabled.
DCA(Dynamic Channel Allocation) solution automatically select the optimal operational frequency
channel when power up and periodically monitors the environment and adjusts for the best
operational frequency channel.

DCA service is available only under 2.4GHz band.
DCA threshold – specify the value (in minutes) of DCA threshold. This threshold is been used to
judge if there is no wireless users connected during this time. And if yes, BW1250 will monitor the
environment and adjust channel for the best operational one.
If wireless network environment is stable which means auto channel selection
needn’t do frequently, set a big value for DCA threshold to gain a stable wireless
users’ connection.
If wireless network environment changes continually, frequent auto channel
selection is needed. So set a relative small value for DCA threshold to let channel
change based on wireless environment.
Wireless users will be kicked off when DCA is processing (site survey and new
operational frequency channel takes effect).
DCA optional channel – specify the channels only in which auto channel selection (DCA) will choose
for reducing interference reference.
Only when DCA is enabled, DCA threshold and DCA optional channel will be
shown.
Layer 2 Isolation – layer2 wireless client separation. Connected clients with user isolation function
enabled cannot access each other directly. The clients are isolated from each other using their MAC
addresses [enabled/disabled].

BW1250 supports Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs per radio
on BW1250 and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can
think BW1250 as single AP with multi service supporting, including different security policy, different
VLAN ID, different authentication etc. All the BSSIDs are active at the same time that means client
devices can associate to the access point for specific service. Use the Wireless | Advance menu to
configure properties related to Multiple BSSID, including configure SSID, Hidden SSID, VLAN, and
Security for each SSID.
Each BSSID can have its own SSID. In this case, Multiple BSSID is the same with
Multiple ESSID. Wireless users can think BW1250 as multiple virtual APs, each
supporting different service, and connects one SSID for the special services.
Also, BW1250 supports Bridge function, it can support up to 8 Bridge links per radio. Different
bridge link can use different WEP key index.
