96 Chapter 7 Multiple ESS, SSID and VLAN
Select SSID Profile The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access
point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Note: If you are configuring the ZyAIR from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyAIR’s
SSID or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection
when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyAIR’s new
settings.
Index Select the check box to activate an ESS on the ZyAIR.
Profile Select an SSID Profile from the drop-down list box. Configure SSID profiles in
the SSID screen.
Enable Intra-BSS
Traffic
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select
this check box to enable Intra-BSS traffic.
Enable Breathing LED Select this check box to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the ZyAIR
LED.
The blue ZyAIR LED is on when the ZyAIR is on and blinks (or breaths) when
data is being transmitted to/from its wireless stations.
Clear the check box to turn this LED off even when the ZyAIR is on and data is
being transmitted/received.
Enable Spanning Tree
Control (STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -
compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between
any two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the
ZyAIR.
Output Power Set the output power of the ZyAIR in this field. If there is a high density of APs
within an area, decrease the output power of the ZyAIR to reduce interference
with other APs. Select one of the following 100%(Full Power), 50%, 25% or
12.5%. These percentages represent the following power ranges;
• 100%(Full Power) <11b>17dBm/<11g>13dBm (<11b>50mW/
<11g>20mW),
• 50% <11b>15dBm/<11g>11dBm (<11b>32mW/<11g>12.6mW),
• 25% <11b>13dBm/<11g>9dBm (<11b>20mW/<11g>7.9mW),
• 12.5% <11b>11dBm/<11g>7dBm (<11b>12.6mW/<11g>5mW).
Preamble Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long,
Short and Dynamic.
See the section on preamble for more information.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyAIR.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyAIR.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the ZyAIR. The transmission rate of your ZyAIR
might be reduced.
