The configuration fields for each b/g/n Radio and the a/n Radio are:
Field Description
Function Defines the radio as a sensor or an infrastructure device (AP or
wireless switch). You can also disable the radio.
Data Rates Sets the data rates for the radios. You can set rates for 802.11 a/b/g
as a group or 802.11 n.
DTIM Period Specifies the supported Delivery Trac Indication Message (DTIM)
interval. The default value is 1.
RTS Threshold Specifies the supported Request to Send (RTS) threshold. This can
be a value between 0 and 2339 bytes. The default value is 2312.
Max Retries Specifies the supported number of RTS retries. This can be a value
between 1 and 128. The default value is 32.
Preamble Specifies that the preamble is short or long.
Beacon Period Specifies the supported beacon interval (period) in kilo-
microseconds. The default value is 0.
Max Data Retries Specifies how often to resend packets. This can be a value between
1 and 128. The default value is 32.
Fragmentation Threshold Specifies the level that trac fragments. This can be a value
between 256 and 2346 bytes. The default is 2346.
Ethernet Encapsulation Specifies that the Ethernet encapsulation is 802.1h or RFC1042.
You may also specify the frame aggregation as A-MSDU, A-MPDU, or both.
WLAN Profiles
WLAN Profiles are used to configure the WLAN settings for devices utilizing your network. After
creating a WLAN Profile using the New Profile button, it can be applied by selecting the profile and
clicking the Apply button. When a WLAN Profile is applied to your system, if the WLAN thresholds for
that profile are exceeded, a security alarm is generated. If there are no WLAN Profiles applied to your
system, no alarms are generated. There are two tabs associated with WLAN Profiles: General and
Security.
General Tab
The General tab is where you name your WLAN Profile and specify the general settings not related to
security. Available fields are:
Field Description
Name Specifies the profile name.
Description Allows you to specify a short description of the profile.
SSID Specifies the Service Set Identifier (SSID) for devices.
Protocol Specifies the protocol that the device can use [a, b, g, n (2.4 GHz),
or n (5 GHz)].
