FIGURE 3 WLAN Basic Configuration screen
Refer to the WLAN Configuration field to define the following:
WLAN If adding a new WLAN, enter its name in the space provided. Spaces between words are
not permitted. The name could be a logical representation of the WLAN coverage area
(engineering, marketing etc.). If editing an existing WLAN, the WLAN’s name appears at
the top of the screen and cannot be modified. The name cannot exceed 32 characters.
SSID Enter or modify the Services Set Identification (SSID) associated with the WLAN. The
WLAN name is auto-generated using the SSID until changed by the user. The maximum
number of characters for the SSID is 32.
Description Provide a textual description for the WLAN to help differentiate it from others with similar
configurations. A description can be up to 64 characters.
WLAN Status Select the Enabled radio button to ensure this WLAN is active and available to clients on
the radios where it has been mapped. Select the Disabled radio button to make this
WLAN inactive, meaning even if the WLAN is mapped to radios, it is not available for
clients to associate.
QoS Policy Use the drop-down menu to assign an existing QoS policy to the WLAN. If needed, select
the Create icon to define a new QoS policy or select the Edit icon to modify the
configuration of a selected QoS Policy. QoS helps ensure each WLAN receives a fair share
of the overall bandwidth, either equally or per the proportion configured. For information
on creating a QoS policy that can be applied to a WLAN, see WLAN QoS Policy on page
6-437.
