Wireless 802.11 Guest Network Page
This page allows you to configure a secondary guest network on the wireless interface.
This network is isolated from the LAN. Any clients that associate with the guest network
SSID will be isolated from the private LAN and can only communicate with WAN hosts.

Description
Guest Network
You may have several different wireless Guest Networks
running with different options. This field lets you select which
wireless Guest Network you want to modify.
Current Guest Network
When set to

Field
Description
Guest Network Name (SSID)
Assigns a unique network name (SSID) for the guest network,
which appears in the beacon frames.
Closed Network
With a closed network, users type the SSID into the client
application instead of selecting the SSID from a list.
This feature makes it slightly more difficult for the user to gain
access.
DHCP Server
Enables the DHCP server to give out leases to guest network
clients from the specified lease pool. If the DHCP server is
disabled, guest network stations (STAs) need to be assigned
static IP addresses.
IP Address
Specifies the gateway IP relayed to guest clients in DHCP
lease offers.
Subnet Mask
Specifies the subnet mask for the guest network.
Lease Pool Start
Specifies the starting IP address for the guest network lease
pool.
Lease Pool End
Specifies the ending IP address for the guest network lease
pool.
Lease Time
Specifies the lease time for the guest network lease pool
once the Configuration Manager completes the WAN
provisioning.

Wireless 802.11 Advanced Page
This page allows you to configure data rates and Wi-Fi thresholds.

Description
54g™ Mode
Sets these network modes:
54g Auto
54g Performance
54g LRS
802.11b only
54g Auto accepts 54g, 802.11g, and 802.11b clients, but
optimizes performance based on the type of connected
clients. 54g Performance accepts only 54g clients and
provides the highest performance throughout; nearby 802.11b
networks may have degraded performance. 54g LRS
interoperates with the widest variety of 54g, 802.11g, and
802.11b clients. 80211b. accepts only 802.11b clients.
Basic Rate Set
Determines which rates are advertised as “basic” rates.
Default uses the driver defaults. All sets all available rates as
basic rates.
54g™ Protection
In Auto mode, the AP will use RTS/CTS protection to improve
802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g + 802.11b networks.
Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under
most conditions.
XPress™ Technology
This is a performance-enhancing Wi-Fi technology designed
for increasing throughput and efficiency. It is used when there

are mixed wireless networks in the surrounding area from
802.11a/b/g networks.
Afterburner™ Technology
This is also a performance-enhancing Wi-Fi technology that
enhances the existing 802.11g standard by increasing
throughput by 40 percent.
Rate
Forces the transmission rate for the AP to a particular speed.
Auto will provide the best performance in nearly all situations.
Output Power
Sets the output power as a percentage of the hardware’s
maximum capability.
Beacon Interval
Sets the beacon interval for the AP. The default is 100, which
is fine for nearly all applications.
DTIM Interval
Sets the wakeup interval for clients in Power Save mode.
When a client is running in Power Save mode, lower values
provide higher performance, while higher values provide lower
performance.
Fragmentation Threshold
Sets the fragmentation threshold. Packets exceeding this
threshold will be fragmented into packets no larger than the
threshold before packet transmission.
RTS Threshold
Sets the RTS threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will
cause the AP to perform an RTS/CTS exchange to reserve the
wireless medium before packet transmission.

Wireless 802.11 Access Control Page
This page allows you to configure the Access Control to the AP as well as status on the
connected clients.
Field Descriptions for the Wireless 802.11 Access Control Page
Field
Description
MAC Restrict Mode
Selects whether wireless clients with the specified MAC
address are allowed or denied wireless access.
Select
Disabled
to allow all clients.
MAC Address
A list of wireless client MAC addresses to allow or deny based
on the Restrict Mode setting. Valid input MAC address formats
are XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX.
Connected Clients
A list of connected wireless clients. When a client connects
(associates) to the network, it is added to the list; when a client
leaves (disassociates) from the network, it is removed from the
list. For each client, the age (in seconds), estimated average
receive signal strength (in dBm), IP address, and host name are
presented. The age is the amount of time elapsed since data
was transmitted to or received from the client.
