Table 5-3: Key word specification in Captive Portal WLAN Configuration Window
WLAN Parameter
Specification
WLAN Name
Label or name of WLAN.
Security Level
Security Level of WLAN, from high to low is Enterprise>Personal>Open. Here
select the Open type.
Captive Portal
Specify the captive portal authentication supporting state. Yes indicates the
WLAN supports captive portal authentication, while No indicates the WLAN does
not support captive portal authentication.
Inactivity Timeout
Status
Enable/Disable inactivity timeout control. If enabled, those clients not
transmitting any packets in the configured period will be disconnected from the
wireless network.
Inactivity Timeout
Interval
Specify the inactivity timeout internal, default is 600 seconds.
Enable
Specify the WLAN state, Yes indicates that WLAN is in broadcast state, while No
indicates WLAN is not in broadcast state.
Hidden
Specify visibility of the WLAN, Yes indicates that WLAN is visible to users, while
No indicates WLAN is invisible.
Multicast
This feature allows APs to convert multicast streams into unicast streams over
the wireless network based on the IGMP snooping table. Enabling Multicast to
Unicast (for up to 6 clients) can enhance the quality and reliability of video
streams, while preserving the bandwidth available to the non-video services
Broadcast ARP
If enabled, AP will reply to client’s ARP request instead of forwarding.
VLAN ID
Identifier of the VLAN to which the WLAN mapping, it is a user VLAN.
Band
Select a value to specify the band at which the network transmits radio signals.
You can set the band to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or All. The All option is selected by
default.
Scope Type
Specify the scope of APs in the cluster which will create the WLAN.
• All – All APs in the cluster will create the WLAN.
Group – Select the APs which will create the WLAN. The AP which MAC address is
in the group will be valid for the WLAN.
WLAN Access Timer
Specify the WLAN working period, in which only SSID broadcasts. If NOT
configured (Disabled), SSID will always broadcast if the WLAN is activated.
• Access Days – Specify the days for broadcasting SSID per week.
• Operational Hours – Specify the time of the day in which broadcasting
SSID.
Max Clients per
band
Specify the maximum number of clients that can be configured for each BSSID on
a WLAN. You can specify a value within the range of 1 to 256. The default value
is 64.
Upstream Per Client
Specify the maximum upstream bandwidth limitation for each user.
Downstream Per
Client
Specify the maximum downstream bandwidth limitation for each user.
Client Isolate
Not permit the clients attached to the same WLAN to communicate with each
other, they can only communicate with upstream gateway.
802.11r
Select to enable IEEE 802.11r (Fast BSS Transition). The Fast BSS Transition
mechanism minimizes the delay when a client transitions from one BSS to
another within the same group.
802.11v
Enables/Disables 802.11v. 802.11v standard defines mechanisms for wireless
network management enhancements and BSS transition management. It allows
client devices to exchange information about the network topology and RF
environment. The BSS transition management mechanism enables an AP to
request a voice client to transition to a specific AP, or suggest a set of preferred
APs to a client, due to network load balancing or BSS termination. It also helps
the client identify the best AP to transition to as they roam.
