3.2 Wireless -> Access Point -> AP Configuration

This page allows you to add a new AP or edit the configuration of an existing AP. The details will

then be displayed in the AP table on the main Access Points page under the Wireless menu.

AP Name: This is the unique name of the AP selected to be configured.

Role: The AP can act as a traditional Access Point device, WDS repeater, or WDS Root. When AP

is configured as a WDS repeater, it acts like a wireless client and can connect to an AP configured

in WDS Root mode on another EAP3000 device. A successful connection to WDS Root AP creates a

WDS link and the traffic from the clients connected to other APs on this EAP3000 device is

forwarded over the WDS link (only the broadcast traffic and the traffic destined to other devices

which is not connected to APs on this EAP3000 device is forwarded). Note that when AP is

configured in WDS repeater mode or WDS Root mode, clients will not be able to connect to this AP.

Profile Name: choose the encryption and authentication methods to be used by clients

connecting to this AP from the dropdown list of profiles. This list is populated by adding profiles in

the Profile menu.
