4.4.3 Access Point Configure Automatically
Illustration 11: Access Point Configure Automatically
AP Settings
Broadcast SSID
With this option enabled, the configured SSID will be broadcast such
that it can be detected by an SSID scan. Otherwise, the configured
SSID will not be broadcast such that it cannot be detected by an
SSID scan. In order to connect with the access point, the SSID
needs to be known by the client.
Client Isolation
Prevent wireless clients connected to the AP from communicating with
each other.
Keep AP
With this option enabled, the Wi-Fi Access Point will always on even if
there is no connection to the mesh network.
AP Transmit
Power
Adjustment
An option to retain a lower power setting for indoor home devices.
Available options are between -1 dBm and –15dBm.
With the Access Point Configuration set to Configure Automatically, the SSID,
Authentication, and Encryption Key values of the Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point will be
configured to be the same as in the 4.3.2 Wireless IP Settings section.
This configuration mode is effectively equivalent to directly connecting 802.1b/g devices on
the customers’ premises with Citywide Wi-Fi.
Important Note
In the Wireless Settings section, if Authentication is set to either 802.1x with
dynamic WEP key or WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, then the Configure Automatically option of
the Access Point Configuration becomes unavailable, because the Integrated Wi-Fi
Access Point functionality currently does not support authentication via the 802.1x with
dynamic WEP key and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise methods.
