If Enable VLAN is checked, the wireless stations connecting to SSID of different VID can not communicate with each other. VLAN Settings Entries in below table are used to config vlan settings. VLANs are created to provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers. VLANs address issues such as scalability, security, and network management. In Wireless Basic Settings page, click the Multiple AP button. You will then see the VLAN Settings page as shown below. - 40 - Enable VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a group of logically networked devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very flexible for user/host management. VID Provide a number between 1 and 4090 for VLAN. This will cause the AP to send packets with VLAN tags. The switch connecting with the AP must support VLAN IEEE802.1Q frames. The wireless stations connecting to the SSID of a specified VLANID can communicate with the PC connecting to the port with the same VLANID on the Switch. Advanced Settings These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your Access Point. - 41 - Fragment Threshold “Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. Default : 2346 RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Default : 2347 Beacon Interval The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. Default : 100 Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic wireless network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable communication. Default : Long Preamble - 42 - IAPP Inter-Access Point Protocol is a recommendation that describes an optional extension to IEEE 802.11 that provides wireless access-point communications among multivendor systems. Default : Enable Protection It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted. Default : Enable Aggregation It is a function where the values of multiple rows are grouped together. Default : Enable Short GI It is used to set the time that the receiver waits for RF reflections to settle out before sampling data. Default : Enable WLAN Partition This feature also called WLAN isolation or Block Relay. If this feature is disabled, then there is no barrier between communications among wireless stations connecting to the Access Point, i.e the Access Point. If this is enabled, wireless stations of the selected band are not allowed to exchange data through the Access Point. The default value is set to 'Disabled'. Default : Disable RF Output Power Users can adjust the output power to 100%, 75% 50% 35% and 15%. Default : 100% Security Setup This page allows you setup the wireless security.
