Table 35 Configuring SSID
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Profile Name Enter a name identifying this profile.
SSID When a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that
is broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.
Hide Name (SSID) Select Disable if you want the ZyXEL Device to broadcast this SSID (a
wireless client scanning for an AP will find this SSID). Alternatively, select
Enable to have the ZyXEL Device hide this SSID (a wireless client scanning
for an AP will not find this SSID).
Security Select a security profile to use with this SSID profile. See Section 7.3 on page
103 for more information.
RADIUS Select a RADIUS profile from the drop-down list box, if you have a RADIUS
server configured. If you do not need to use RADIUS authentication, ignore
this field. See Section 7.5 on page 111 for more information.
QoS Select the Quality of Service priority for this BSS’s traffic.
• In the pre-configured VoIP_SSID profile, the QoS setting is VoIP. This is
not user-configurable. The VoIP setting is available only on the
VoIP_SSID profile, and provides the highest level of QoS.
• If you select WMM from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet depends
on the packet’s IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. See Section 6.3.1 on page
86 for more information on WMM and WMM priorities. If a packet has no
WMM value assigned to it, it is assigned the default priority.
• If you select ATC from the QoS list, the ZyXEL Device automatically
assigns priority based on packet size. See Section 6.3.2 on page 87 for
more information on ATC.
• If you select ATC+WMM from the QoS list, the ZyXEL Device uses WMM
on the wireless network and ATC on the wired network. See Section 6.3.3
on page 88 for more information on ATC+WMM.
• If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BEST_EFFORT or
WMM_BACKGROUND, the ZyXEL Device applies that QoS setting to all
of that SSID’s traffic.
• If you select NONE, the ZyXEL Device applies no priority to traffic on this
SSID.
Note: When you configure an SSID profile’s QoS settings, the
ZyXEL Device applies the same QoS setting to all of the
profile’s traffic.
