OP Mode
Select the operating mode for radio 1 or radio 2.
AP Mode
means the AP can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their data
traffic through to the Zyxel Device to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an
upstream gateway for managing).
MON Mode
means the AP monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then passes their
information on to the Zyxel Device where it can be determined if those APs are friendly or
rogue. If an AP is set to this mode it cannot receive connections from wireless clients.
Root AP
means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with
other APs (in repeater mode) to form a ZyMesh to extend its wireless network.
Repeater AP
means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in either
root AP or repeater mode).
Note: To prevent bridge loops, do NOT set both radios on a managed AP to
Repeater AP mode.
Note: The root AP and repeater AP(s) in a ZyMesh must use the same country
code and AP radio profile settings in order to communicate with each
other.
Note: Ensure you restart the managed AP after you change its operating mode.
Radio 1/2 AP Profile
Select an AP profile from the list. If no profile exists, you can create a new one through the
Create new Object
menu.
Radio 1/2 Profile
Select a monitor profile from the list. If no profile exists, you can create a new one through
the
Create new Object
menu.
Radio 1/2 ZyMesh
Profile
This field is available only when the radio is in Root AP or Repeater AP mode.
Enable Wireless
Bridging
Select the ZyMesh profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater.
This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater AP mode.
Select this option to enable wireless bridging on the radio.
The managed AP must support LAN provision and the radio should be in repeater mode.
VLAN and bridge interfaces are created automatically according to the LAN port’s VLAN
settings. When wireless bridging is enabled, the managed repeater AP can still transmit
data through its Ethernet port(s) after the ZyMesh link is up. Be careful to avoid bridge loops.
The managed APs in the same ZyMesh must use the same static VLAN ID.
Output Power
Set the maximum output power of the AP.
If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the managed AP
to reduce interference with other APs.
Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the Zyxel Device’s effective
broadcast radius.
Edit
Select an SSID and click this button to reassign it. The selected SSID becomes editable
immediately upon clicking.
#
This is the index number of the SSID profile. You can associate up to eight SSID profiles with
an AP radio.
SSID Profile
Indicates which SSID profile is associated with this radio profile.
VLAN Settings
Force Overwrite
VLAN Config
Select this to have the Zyxel Device change the AP’s management VLAN to match the
configuration in this screen.
