DESCRIPTION

Active

Select this to activate the SSID profile.

Name (SSID)

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client is

associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found on a typical

English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot

obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Intra-BSS Traffic

A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or

between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled,

wireless clients can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When

Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless clients can still access the wired network but cannot

communicate with each other.

WMM QoS

Check this to have the EMG2926-Q10A automatically give a service a priority level

according to the ToS value in the IP header of packets it sends.

WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service) gives high priority to voice and video, which

makes them run more smoothly.

Enable Guest

WLAN

Select the check box to activate guest wireless LAN. This is available only for the last SSID

on the EMG2926-Q10A.

IP Address

Type an IP address for the devices on the Guest WLAN using this as the gateway IP

address.

IP Subnet

Mask

Type the subnet mask for the guest wireless LAN.

MAC Filter Screen

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the EMG2926-Q10A to give exclusive access to

devices (

Allow

) or exclude devices from accessing the EMG2926-Q10A (

Deny

). Every Ethernet

device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the

factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You

need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure this screen.
