Priority AP
This item available when the unit type is “Station”. This item allows you to specify the access point to
be connected preferentially. Enter the wireless MAC addresses of the access points in AP1 to AP5.
Wireless MAC addresses of access points can be checked on “Status” for each access point and
“Wireless MAC address” of the “Wireless LAN”.
The access points to be connected are assigned priorities in ascending order beginning with AP1
(followed by AP2, …, AP5). Entering wireless MAC addresses enables this function. To disable this
function, enter zeroes (00-00-00-00-00-00) for all MAC addresses.
When specifying a MAC address, enter a hyphen (-) at intervals of two characters.
(Example: 01-23-45-67-89-ab)
If the product is unable to connect to any of the access points AP1 to AP5, set "Connect to other APs" to
"Enable" to allow a connection to other access points. To prevent the product from connecting to access
points other than the prioritized access points, set "Connect to other APs" to "Disable".

distance
communication. Select "Less than 1 km", "1

10 km", "10
-
20 km", or "Over 20 km". This item adjusts
the ACK time-out interval and each option is a guide setting of the time-out interval. It does not increase
transmission output or antenna gain to expand the communication distance. Normally, this does not
need to be changed from the default setting.

Less than 1 km

Load Balance
Load balancing is the function used to prevent wireless terminals from flocking to one access point upon
connection. When the load balance function is set to “Enable” and the unit type is "Access point",
notification of the number of stations logged in is sent and the stations are connected to the access point
with fewer connections preferentially. When the unit type is "Station", a connection is established to the
access point with fewer connections preferentially.
Set the RSSI threshold of the connected access points to the load balance threshold. When the product is
roaming or connecting to an access point, a connection is established to the access point with an RSSI
value higher than the setting value and with the fewest possible logged in connections. Enter a value
between 0 and 95. The load balance threshold must exceed the roaming threshold. This item is available
when the unit type is "Station".
To use this function, the access points and stations must be NZ2WL Series products and must have the
load balance function enabled.

Beacon Interval
This item is available when the unit type is “Access point”. Specify the transmission interval at which
the access point transmits a beacon signal. Enter a value between 20 and 1000 in milliseconds (ms).
Normally, this does not need to be changed.
