Static WEP

) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless
stations and access points on the network are configured with a static 64-bit (40-bit secret key + 24-bit ini-

Description
Broadcast SSID
Select the
Broadcast SSID
setting by clicking
Allow
or
Prohibit
.
By default, the access point broadcasts the
Service Set Identifier
(SSID) in its
beacon frames.
You can prohibit this broadcast to discourage stations from automatically dis-
covering your access point. When the access point’s broadcast SSID is sup-
pressed, the network name will not be displayed in the
List of Available Networks
on a client device. Instead, the client must have the exact network name con-
figured in the supplicant before the client will be able to connect.
You can use the Command Line Interface to prohibit the broadcast of the SSID
on the Guest Network. For the command syntax, see “Set the Broadcast SSID
(Allow or Prohibit)” on page 215.
Station Isolation
Select
Off
to disable station isolation or
On
to enable it.
• When station isolation is
Off
, wireless clients can communicate with one
another normally by sending traffic through the access point.
• When station isolation is
On
, the access point blocks communication
between wireless clients. The access point allows data traffic between its
wireless clients and wired devices on the network, but not among wireless
clients. The traffic blocking extends to wireless clients connected to the
network via
WDS
links; these clients cannot communicate with each other
when station isolation is on. See “Wireless Distribution System” on page 153
for more information about WDS.
