Device Configuration
ORiNOCO® 802.11n Access Points - Software Management Guide 46
SSID Specifies the unique network name used to identify a wireless network. To change the
wireless network name, enter a new name in the SSID box with a maximum of 31
characters.
BSSID Specifies a read-only parameter and it displays the VAP’s MAC Address.
Broadcast SSID The continuous announcement of the SSID in the beacons by VAP is called Broadcast SSID.
The SSID is also broadcasted in probe response frames.
For a VAP to broadcast SSID in beacons, select Enable from the Broadcast SSID box. When
disabled, clients which are not aware of the SSID cannot connect to the AP device.
Multicast Rate Specifies the rate at which the multicast data packets are transmitted over the wireless
network.
By default, the Multicast Rate taken is 9 Mbps for operational modes 11na/a and it is 11
Mbps for operational modes 11ng/g. To configure, select the rate of data transmission from
the drop down menu.
:
• The configured multicast rate value rolls back to its default value when the operational
mode of the AP device changes.
• While configuring multicast rate, please ensure that all the clients in the network can
communicate with the configured rate.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The process of dividing a MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) into smaller MAC level frames for
transmission over the wireless network is called Fragmentation.This reduces both the
probability and adverse effects of wireless packet corruption, improving the overall wireless
network performance.
Unicast receiver address can be fragmented, whereas Broadcast/Multicast frames cannot be
fragmented, even though they exceed a fragmentation threshold. If the size of the data
packet is more than the configured value, AP Device breaks the data into pieces called
Fragments and transmits. Each fragment size is the Fragmentation Threshold.
By default, it is set to 2346 bytes. To configure, enter a value ranging from 256 to 2346
bytes in the Fragmentation Threshold box.
: ‘Fragmentation Threshold’ is not configurable in 11n mode.
Security Profile
Name
Specifies the name of the Security profile for the wireless VAP.
By default, the available Security Profile Name is “AP Security”. To configure, click the
Security Profile Name box and select the security profile. (Refer Wireless Security)
RADIUS Profile
Name
Specifies the name of the RADIUS profile for the wireless VAP.
By default, the available RADIUS Profile name is “Default RADIUS”. Refer RADIUS
