6. Refer to the IP Filtering field to optionally enable the IP filtering feature, and (if enabled)
apply existing IP filters (and their rules and permissions) to the WLAN.
Disallow MU to MU
Communication
The MU-MU Disallow feature prohibits MUs from communicating
with each other even if they are on different WLANs, assuming one
of the WLAN’s is configured to disallow MU-MU communication.
Therefore, if an MU’s WLAN is configured for MU-MU disallow, it
will not be able to communicate with any other MUs connected to
this access point.
Use Secure Beacon Select the Use Secure Beacon checkbox to not transmit the
access point’s ESSID. If a hacker tries to find an ESSID via an MU,
the ESSID does not display since the ESSID is not in the beacon.
Motorola recommends keeping the option enabled to reduce the
likelihood of hacking into the WLAN.
Accept Broadcast
ESSID
Select the Accept Broadcast ESSID checkbox to associate an
MU that has a blank ESSID (regardless of which ESSID the access
point is currently using). Sites with heightened security
requirements may want to leave the checkbox unselected and
configure each MU with an ESSID. The default is selected.
enable Rate Limiting Select this checkbox to set MU rate limiting values for this WLAN
in both the upstream and downstream direction. Once selected,
two fields display enabling you to set MU radio bandwidth for each
associated MU in both the wired-to-wireless and wireless-to-
wired directions. Set an allocation between 100 and 300,000 kbps.
The default value is 1000 kbps. For more information, see
Configuring MU Rate Limiting on page 5-67.
Quality of Service
Policy
If QoS policies are undefined (none), select the Create button to
launch the New QoS Policy screen. Use this screen to create a
QoS policy, wherein data traffic for the new or revised WLAN can
be prioritized to best suit the MU transmissions within that WLAN.
For more information, see Setting the WLAN Quality of Service
(QoS) Policy on page 5-39.
Enable IP Filtering Selecting this checkbox allows the WLAN to employ filter policies
and rules to determine which IP packets are processed normally
over the WLAN and which are discarded. If discarded, a packet is
deleted and ignored (as if never received).
