4 - Configuring the Radios

Enable Medium Density Distribution

Determines if these access point parameters - Enable Medium
Reservation, Distance Between APs, Enable Microwave Oven
Robustness - are distributed to end devices that support this
feature.

Data/Voice Settings (Master radio only)

Choose the setting that optimizes the wireless network.

Set to Data Traffic Only if the access point will transmit only data
traffic.

Set to SpectraLink Traffic Only if the access point will transmit only
voice traffic. SpectraLink telephone frames will be sent with a
priority setting. All other multicast/broadcast frames will be
dropped.

Set to Data and SpectraLink Traffic if the access point will transmit
both data and voice traffic. SpectraLink telephone frames will be
sent in the high priority queue. Frames in the high priority queue
are sent ahead of frames in the normal priority queue. No special
filtering.

Disallow Network Name of ‘ANY’ (Master radio only)

Determines if end devices that have their SSID (Network Name)
set to ANY or are left blank can associate with this access point.
Clear this check box to allow these end devices to associate with
this access point. This setting is 802.11b compliant, but not very
secure.

Check this check box to prevent end devices with an SSID of ANY
or are left blank from associating with this access point.

DTIM Period (Master radio only)

Specifies the number of beacon frames to skip before including a
DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) in a beacon frame.
Setting a higher DTIM period may conserve battery life in an end
device, but it may increase response time.
