WLAN Configuration
Stellar AP User Guide
ALCATEL-LUCENT ENTERPRISE 59
Scope Type
Specify the scope of APs in the cluster which will create the WLAN.
• All – All APs in the cluster will create the WLAN.
• Group – Select the APs which will create the WLAN. The AP which MAC
address is in the group will be valid for the WLAN.
WLAN Access Timer
Specify the WLAN working period, in which only SSID broadcasts. If NOT
configured (Disabled), SSID will always broadcast if the WLAN is activated.
• Access Days – Specify the days for broadcasting SSID per week.
• Operational Hours – Specify the time of the day in which broadcasting
SSID.
Max Clients per
band
Specify the maximum number of clients that can be configured for each BSSID on
a WLAN. You can specify a value within the range of 1 to 256. The default value is
64.
Upstream Per
Client
Specify the maximum upstream bandwidth limitation for each user.
Downstream Per
Client
Specify the maximum downstream bandwidth limitation for each user.
Client Isolate
Not permit the clients attached to the same WLAN to communicate with each
other, they can only communicate with upstream gateway.
802.11r
Select to enable IEEE 802.11r (Fast BSS Transition). The Fast BSS Transition
mechanism minimizes the delay when a client transitions from one BSS to another
within the same group.
802.11v
Enables/Disables 802.11v. 802.11v standard defines mechanisms for wireless
network management enhancements and BSS transition management. It allows
client devices to exchange information about the network topology and RF
environment. The BSS transition management mechanism enables an AP to
request a voice client to transition to a specific AP, or suggest a set of preferred
APs to a client, due to network load balancing or BSS termination. It also helps
the client identify the best AP to transition to as they roam.
802.11k
Enables/Disables 802.11k. The 802.11k protocol enables APs and clients to
dynamically measure the available radio resources. When 802.11k is enabled, APs
and clients send neighbor reports, beacon reports, and link measurement reports
to each other.
802.11b
Enables/Disables allowing 11b legacy clients connect to AP
802.11g
Enables/Disables allowing 11g legacy clients connect to AP
2.4G Client Rate
Control
Enables/Disables 2.4G band access control based on client data rate
2.4G Client Rate
2.4G band client with lower data speed will not be allowed to access,
recommended value 12
5G Client Rate
Control
Enables/Disables 5G band access control based on client data rate
5G Client Rate
5G band client with lower data speed will not be allowed to access,
recommended value 24
2.4G MGMT Rate
Control
Enables/Disables 2.4G band wireless management frame rate control
2.4G MGMT Rate
2.4G band wireless management frame transmit rate, higher value means less
coverage, lower value means larger coverage. 2.4G Beacon frame does not
support 9 Mbps or 18 Mbps speed. When 9/18 Mbps is configured for 2.4G MGMT
Rate, beacon frame will broadcast on 11/24 Mbps rate and other management
frames (such as probe frame) will broadcast on 9/18 Mbps.
5G MGMT Rate
Control
Enables/Disables 5G band wireless management frame rate control
5G MGMT Rate
5G band wireless management frame transmit rate, higher value means less
coverage, lower value means larger coverage. 5G Beacon frame does not support
9 Mbps speed. When 9 Mbps is configured for 5G MGMT Rate, beacon frame will
