Data Rate
There are two options on data rate: Fixed, Auto
Fixed will forced all data packets to be transmitted into the selected transmit
rate. Auto will automatically select the best transmit rate with a condition to
use the selected transmit rate as the minimum auto transmit rate.
The rate options and values will be affected by selected Protocol and Channel
Bonding in section 7.3.1.
Multicast Filter
This setting enables the filtering of multicast network traffic to the wireless
SSID.
Multicast Rate
This setting specifies the transmit rate to used for sending multicast network
traffic.
The rate options and values will be affected by selected Protocol and Channel
Bonding in section 7.3.1.
DHCP Relay
The AP Pro will forward DHCP requests to a specified DHCP Server. This
option prevents broadcast messages from being propagated on the Ethernet
segment. Upon selecting this option, the DHCP Server IP address (or DHCP
Server settings) will be prompted.
Default VLAN ID
This setting specifies the VLAN ID to be tagged on all outgoing packets
generated from the virtual AP (i.e. packets that travel from the Wi-Fi segment,
through the Pepwave AP Pro unit to Ethernet segment via the LAN port).
If 802.1x is enabled and a per-user VLAN ID is specified in the authentication
reply from the Radius server, then the value specified via Default VLAN ID will
be overridden.
The default value of this setting is 0. That means VLAN tagging is disabled
(instead of tagged with zero).
Network Priority
(QoS)
The 802.1p QoS value to be marked on all outgoing packets generated from
the virtual AP (i.e. packets that travel from the Wi-Fi segment, through the
Pepwave AP Pro unit to Ethernet segment via the LAN port).
Possible values are Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Layer 2 Isolation
Layer 2
is in reference to the second layer in the ISO Open System
Interconnect model.
When this option is enabled, clients on the same VLAN, SSID or subnet are not
allowed to communicate directly via the Layer 2 Protocol(s). Traffic is passed
to upper communication layer(s).
With this option disabled, clients on the same VLAN are allowed to
communicate with each other directly. (Windows network resources browsing
will be possible.)
By default, the setting is disabled.
