Parameter
Description
SSID can communicate with each other.
WMF
It specifies whether to enable the WMF function.
Probe Broadcast
Packets Control
By default, all wireless clients are detecting and scanning the nearby wireless networks using
the Probe Request frame (including SSID field).
After receiving the packets, the device
decides whether to join the network and re
sponds to the Probe Response (including all
parameters of Beacon frame), consuming massive wireless resources.
This function saves wireless resources by enabling the AP not to respond to the probe
requests without SSIDs.
Maximum Clients
It specifies the maximum number of clients that can be concurrently connected to the wireless
network corresponding to an SSID.
After this upper limit is reached, the AP rejects new requests from clients for connecting to the
wireless network.
SSID
It enables you to change
the selected SSID.
Chinese characters are allowed in an SSID.
Chinese SSID
Encode
It specifies the encoding format of Chinese characters in an SSID. This parameter takes effect
only if the SSID contains Chinese
characters. The default value is UTF8.
If 2
or more SSIDs of the AP are enabled, you are recommended to set this parameter to
UTF
-8 for some SSIDs and to GB2312
for the other SSIDs, so that any wireless client can
identify one or both SSIDs that contain Chinese characters.
Security Mode
It specifi
es the security mode of the selected SSID. The options include: None, WEP, WPA-
PSK,
WPA2
-PSK, Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA, and WPA2.
