AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide

Name
Define or revise the name for the WLAN. The name should be
logical representation of WLAN coverage area (engineering,
marketing etc.). The maximum number of characters that can be
used for the name is 31.
Available On
Use the
Available On
checkboxes to define whether the WLAN
you are creating or editing is available to clients on either the
802.11a or 802.11b/g radio (or both radios). The Available On
checkbox should only be selected for a mesh WLAN if this target
access point is to be configured as a base bridge or repeater (base
and client bridge) on the radio. If the radio for the WLAN is to be
defined as a client bridge only, the Available On checkbox should
not be selected
.
For more information on defining a WLAN for
mesh support, see
Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking
Support on page 9-9
.
Max MUs
Use the
Max MUs
field to define the number of MUs permitted to
interoperate within the new or revised WLAN. The maximum (and
default) is 127. However, each access point can only support a
maximum 127 MUs spanned across its 16 available WLANs. If you
intend to define numerous WLANs, ensure each is using a portion
of the 127 available MUs and the sum of the supported MUs across
all WLANs does not exceed 127.
Enable Client Bridge
Backhaul
Select the Enable
Client Bridge Backhaul
checkbox to make the
WLAN available in the
WLAN
drop-down menu within the
Radio
Configuration
screen. This checkbox can be ignored for WLANs
not supporting mesh networking, to purposely exclude them from
the list of WLANs available in the Radio Configuration page
selected specifically for mesh networking support. Only WLANs
defined for mesh networking support should have this checkbox
selected.
Enable Hotspot
Select the
Enable Hotspot
checkbox to allow this WLAN (whether
it be a new or existing WLAN) to be configured for hotspot support.
Clicking the
Configure Hotspot
button launches a screen wherein
the parameters of the hotspot can be defined. For information on
configuring a target WLAN for hotspot support, see
Configuring
WLAN Hotspot Support on page 5-45
. For an overview of what a
hotspot is and what it can provide your wireless network, see
Hotspot Support on page 1-19
