Configuring
802.11g Radio
Inbound Filters
You can configure inbound filters for the 802.11g radio primary service
set. These settings are shared by any secondary service sets defined for
the radio. You can filter different types of wireless traffic that it may
receive. You may want to use this feature by itself or with an access
control list (ACL) to help secure your network. If you clear all the check
boxes, the radio cannot communicate with any other radios.
You need to check the Allow IAPP check box if you want the access point
to be able to communicate with other access points and participate in the
spanning tree.
Mixed Mode Performance* Gives more time to higher rate frames to
maximize throughput in the presence of
low rate clients. Range is 0 to 2000.
Optimized for 802.11g clients: 802.11g
transmissions are maximized.
Optimized for 802.11g clients: 802.11b
transmissions are maximized.
Optimize Mixed (802.11b and 802.11g):
Allows an optimal mix of 802.11g and
802.11b transmissions.
Disallow SSID (Network
Name) of ‘ANY
(Master radio only) Determines if end devices that have their
SSID set to ANY or are left blank (empty)
can associate with this radio.
Clear this check box to allow these end
devices to associate with this radio.
Although this setting is 802.11 compliant,
it is not very secure.
Check this check box to prevent end
devices with an SSID of ANY or are left
blank from associating with this radio.
DTIM Period
(Master radio only) Specifies the number of beacon periods to
skip before including a DTIM (delivery
traffic indication message) in a beacon
frame. Range is 1 to 65535.
Setting a higher DTIM period may
conserve battery life in an end device, but
it may increase response time.
