WAP43DC FAT Web Manual Chapter 4 Advance Configuration
Radio Select the radio to configure, Radio 1 or Radio 2. VAPs are
configured independently on each radio.
VAP You can configure up to 16 VAPs for each radio. VAP0 is the
physical radio interface, so to disable VAP0, you must disable the
radio.
Enabled You can enable or disable a configured network.
To enable the specified network, select the Enabled option beside
the appropriate VAP.
To disable the specified network, clear the Enabled option beside
the appropriate VAP.
If you disable the specified network, you will lose the VLAN ID you
entered.
VLAN ID When a wireless client connects to the AP by using this VAP, the
AP tags all traffic from the wireless client with the VLAN ID you
enter in this field unless you enter the untagged VLAN ID or use a
RADIUS server to assign a wireless client to a VLAN. The range
for the VLAN ID is 1-4094.
SSID Enter a name for the wireless network. The SSID is an
alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters. You can use the same
SSID for multiple VAPs, or you can choose a unique SSID for
each VAP.
Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that
you are administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose
connectivity to the AP. You will need to reconnect to the new SSID
after you save this new setting.
Broadcast SSID Specify whether to allow the AP to broadcast the Service Set
Identifier (SSID) in its beacon frames. The Broadcast SSID
parameter is enabled by default. When the VAP does not
broadcast its SSID, the network name is not displayed in the list of
available networks on a client station. Instead, the client must
have the exact network name configured in the supplicant before it
is able to connect.
To enable the SSID broadcast, select the Broadcast SSID check
box.
To prohibit the SSID broadcast, clear the Broadcast SSID check
box.
Note: Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufficient to prevent clients
from accidentally connecting to your network, but it will not prevent
even the simplest of attempts by a hacker to connect or monitor
unencrypted traffic. Suppressing the SSID broadcast offers a very
minimal level of protection on an otherwise exposed network (such
as a guest network) where the priority is making it easy for clients
to get a connection and where no sensitive information is
available.
Security Select one of the following Security modes for this VAP:
None
Static WEP
WPA Personal
WPA Enterprise
If you select a security mode other than None, additional fields
appear. These fields are explained below.
Note: The Security mode you set here is specifically for this VAP.
