WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

WPA2 Passphrase

(advanced)

Sets a shared passphrase when AP Security is set to WPA2

- The passphrase should be an ASCII string of length 8-63

characters, excluding these characters: ‘,”\&/<>

AP Broadcast Rate

(advanced)

Controls the rate at which broadcasts are transmitted from

an 802.11 Access Point - Increasing this rate can signiﬁcantly

increase network capacity but will reduce the range of client

connectivity. If the rate is set too high, client devices will have

trouble receiving broadcast packets from the 802.11 access

point.

AP Beacon Interval

(advanced)

The 802.11 access point can send beacons at an interval

between twice and ten times per second.

ETHERNET SETTINGS (ADVANCED)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

Routing Metric (advanced) Deﬁnes link capacity for the routing protocol - A value lower

than the 100 Mbps default should be used when nodes are

connected via non-switched Ethernet (e.g. a third-party

point-to-point wireless link). The metric allows the routing

protocol to make an intelligent decision on if it is better to

route over this Ethernet port or use an alternate route which

is faster.

VLAN SETTINGS (ADVANCED)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

VLAN ID (advanced) Each VLAN-aware bridge port is assigned a VLAN ID. Un-

tagged frames received by the port are tagged with the speci-

ﬁed VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the port which have a

VLAN tag matching the speciﬁed VLAN ID will have their tags

removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged).

VLAN Priority (advanced)

Speciﬁes the 802.11 priority of the VLAN tag added to

untagged frames received by this port

VLAN Trunking (advanced)

Controls the ﬁltering of VLAN tagged frames that do NOT match

this port’s VLAN ID. When trunking is enabled (trunk port), ALL

non-matching VLAN tagged frames are passed (no ﬁltering).

When trunking is disabled (access port), all non-matching VLAN

tagged frames are blocked (ﬁltered)
