Pepwave Surf / Surf AP / Surf DX Series - 20 - Copyright © 2011 Pepwave Pepwave User Manual 4.4.3 Access Point Configure Automatically Illustration 11: Access Point Configure Automatically AP Settings Broadcast SSID With this option enabled, the configured SSID will be broadcast such that it can be detected by an SSID scan. Otherwise, the configured SSID will not be broadcast such that it cannot be detected by an SSID scan. In order to connect with the access point, the SSID needs to be known by the client. Client Isolation Prevent wireless clients connected to the AP from communicating with each other. Keep AP With this option enabled, the Wi-Fi Access Point will always on even if there is no connection to the mesh network. AP Transmit Power Adjustment An option to retain a lower power setting for indoor home devices. Available options are between -1 dBm and –15dBm. With the Access Point Configuration set to Configure Automatically, the SSID, Authentication, and Encryption Key values of the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point will be configured to be the same as in the 4.3.2 Wireless IP Settings section. This configuration mode is effectively equivalent to directly connecting 802.1b/g devices on the customers’ premises with Citywide Wi-Fi. Important Note In the Wireless Settings section, if Authentication is set to either 802.1x with dynamic WEP key or WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, then the Configure Automatically option of the Access Point Configuration becomes unavailable, because the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point functionality currently does not support authentication via the 802.1x with dynamic WEP key and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise methods.
