ACCESS POINT PARAMETERS
Enable this option to activate the wireless access point. When this option is disabled, wireless client stations will not
be able to connect.
WLAN name (SSID)
Specify a name to uniquely identify your wireless network. Each client computer that wants to connect to this profile
must use this name. The name is case-sensitive.
Maximum number of wireless client stations
Specify the maximum number of wireless client stations that can be associated with this SSID at the same time.
Broadcast WLAN name (SSID)
When this option is enabled, the LPS-20x will broadcast its wireless network name (SSID) of this profile to all client
stations. Most wireless adapter cards have a setting that enables them to automatically discover access points that
broadcast their names and automatically connect to the one with the strongest signal.
If you disable this option, client stations will have to specify the network name you enter for WLAN name when they
connect.
VLAN PARAMETERS
VLAN ID
Assigns a VLAN ID to the wireless network. The LPS-20x bridges all wireless traffic with the matching VLAN on the
Internet port.
!
IMPORTANT
The total number of wireless client stations that can be connected to the LPS-20x at the same time
across all WLAN profiles is 254.
Only 100 customers can be logged into the public access interface at one time. Customers that
are not logged in can still make use of the wireless network to access public resources (i.e., those
resources specified in the white list or with an access list “accept”).
!
IMPORTANT
Enabling this feature bypasses all security features enabled on the LPS-20x. Make sure that your
VLAN has the appropriate security installed to protect access to the network.
The LPS-20x also provides per-user VLAN support.
