Concept Guide

Parameter Description
Inactivity timeout Specify an interval for session timeout in seconds, minutes or hours. If a client session is
inactive for the specified duration, the session expires and the users are required to log in
again. You can specify a value within the range of 60-86400 seconds or up to 24 hours for
a client session. The default value is 1000 seconds.
Hide SSID Select this checkbox if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to users.
Disable SSID Select this checkbox if you want to disable the SSID. On selecting this, the SSID will be
disabled, but will not be removed from the network. By default, all SSIDs are enabled.
Can be used without
Uplink
Select the checkbox if you do not want to SSID profile to use uplink.
Max clients threshold 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 0 to 255. The default value is 64.
Local probe request
threshold
Specify a threshold value to limit the number of incoming probe requests. When a client
sends a broadcast probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this option
controls system response for this network profile and ignores probe requests if required.
You can specify a Received signal strength indication (RSSI) value within range of 0 to 100
dB.
SSID Encoding To enable SSID encoding, select UTF8. By default, the SSIDs are not encoded.
ESSID Enter the ESSID. If the value defined for ESSID value is not the same as profile name, the
SSIDs can be searched based on the ESSID value and not by its profile name.
