Figure 73 VLAN Encryption.
VLAN groups 3 and 4 are similarly bridging their wireless interfaces, but they are using virtual modules that are
configured on the Repeaters page. WDS repeater #1 and WDS repeater #2 are being bridged to VLAN ID 20 and
VLAN ID 30 respectively. Configuration for these wireless bridges is set from the Repeaters page (see the example
in Figure 74).
Figure 74 WDS Encryption
Notice that all three wireless interfaces are setup as access points, but are configured with different SSIDs and
encryption methods/keys. If encryption fields are left blank, the connection will use the default wireless interface
parameters as configured on the Network page. Likewise, if the router IP and subnet are left blank the connection
will use the same default settings.
NOTE Router IP and subnet do not need to be configured in WDS Connections because it will use the
IPaddress assigned in the VLAN group.
The VLAN Multiple Wireless Interfaces example above shows that each group is using a different VLAN priority.
Priorities can be given to each interface by configuring a value between zero and seven, seven being the highest
priority and one being the lowest. These values can be used to prioritize the configured VLAN networks. In our
example, the “Production” VLAN has the highest priority which means it will have more time slots available to send
data, followed by the “Guest” network, and then “Staff.” The default value is zero which will configure the group to
have a mid-range “best effort” value.
3.24 Module Information
Module Information Webpage Fields
This configuration page is primarily for information purposes. With the exception of the password, the information
entered here is displayed on the Home configuration webpage of the 245U-E.
Username The username used to access the configuration on the 245U-E. Take care to
remember this username if you change it, as it will be needed to access the 245U-E
in future.
Password The password used to access the configuration on the 245U-E. Take care to
remember this password if you change it, as it will be needed to access the module
in future.
Device Name A label for the particular 245U-E. This is also the DNS name (hostname) of the device
if you are using DNS.
