Wi-Fi device IE-WL-BL-AP-CL Web Console Configuration
3-35
NOTE
While the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL is background scanning, the wireless performance will be reduced by 1/3 of its
normal performance.
• Roaming difference: Determines if roaming should be executed. After background scan has been
triggered, the roaming will only occur if the AP candidate(s) provide a better (Roaming difference)
connection quality than the current connection. If multiple access points fulfill the criteria, the
IE-WL-BL-AP-CL will pick the best one to roam to.
• Scan channels: Pre-define communication and roaming channels.
• AP alive check: Allows the turbo roaming function to recover the network connection faster when an AP
has a sudden disconnection (such as losing power).
NOTE
Enabling this feature causes the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL to send out alive check packets every 10 ms when there is no
traffic; the high transmission frequency of small alive check packets could potentially affect your other wireless
communications that use the same channel, so only enable this feature when you have full control of the
designated radio channel.
• AP candidate threshold: After the “AP alive check” declares the current access point is no long available,
the surrounding access points must have good enough connection qualities (SNR/Signal Strength) in order
to be the qualified as AP candidates for association.
MAC clone (for Client mode only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/Disable
Enabling this feature allows the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL client to copy
the MAC address of LAN connected equipment as its own. This
overcomes the limitation of the IP-Bridged behavior in a
MAC-sensitive network (MAC-based communication or
MAC-authenticated network), such as PROFINET.
Limitation: Only ONE device is allowed to connect to the
IE-WL-BL-AP-CL client while this feature is enabled.
Disable
WLAN Certificate Settings (for EAP-TLS in Client/Slave mode
only)
When EAP-TLS is used, a WLAN Certificate will be required at the client end to support WPA/WPA2-Enterprise.
The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL can support the PKCS #12, also known as Personal Information Exchange Syntax
Standard, certificate formats that define file formats commonly used to store private keys with accompanying
public key certificates, protected with a password-based symmetric key.
