Access Point Configure Automatically

Illustration 13: Access Point Configure Automatically

Broadcast SSID

:

With this option enabled, the configured SSID will be broadcast such that it can be detected

by an SSID scan. Otherwise, the configured SSID will not be broadcast such that it cannot

be detected by an SSID scan.

In order to connect with the access point, the SSID needs to

be known by the client.

Client Isolation:

Prevent wireless clients connected to the AP from communicating with

each other.

Keep AP:

With this option enabled, the Wi-Fi Access Point will always on even if there is no

connection to the mesh network.

AP Transmit Power Adjustment:

An option to retain a lower power setting for indoor

home devices.

Available options are between -1 dBm and –15dBm.

With the Access Point Configuration set to

Configure Automatically

, the

SSID

,

Authentication

, and

Encryption Key

values of the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point will be

configured to be the same as in the

Wireless Settings

section.

This configuration mode is effectively equivalent to directly connecting 802.1b/g devices on

the customers’ premises with Citywide Wi-Fi.

Important Note:

In the

Wireless Settings

section, if

Authentication

is set to either

802.1x with

dynamic WEP key

or

WPA/WPA2-Enterprise

, then the

Configure Automatically

option of the Access Point Configuration becomes unavailable, because the Integrated

Wi-Fi Access Point functionality currently does not support authentication via the

802.1x with dynamic WEP key and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise methods.
