• Medium – For stations that may move at speeds of over 10 km per
hour, but not over 30 km per hour.
• Low – For stations that will not move at speeds of over 10 km per
hour. Low is the default value. In most cases this is the best choice.
• Load Sharing – When installing a Wireless LAN network in a high-
traffic environment; you can increase the aggregate throughput by
installing multiple APs to create co-located cells. When load sharing is
enabled, the wireless stations distribute themselves evenly among the
APs to best divide the traffic between the APs.
• Preferred AP – AP MAC (Ethernet) address of the preferred AP. You
can configure a station to prefer a specific AP unit. When the station
powers up, it will associate with the preferred AP even if the signal from
that AP is lower than the signal from other APs. The station will roam to
another AP only if it stops receiving beacons from the preferred AP.
• Display Current Values – This read-only status screen displays current
WLAN parameters. Press any key to return to the WLAN Parameters
Menu.
3.4.4. Bridging
The Bridging Menu contains the following options:
• LAN to WLAN Bridging Mode (AP Only) – The options are:
• Reject Unknown – Type 0 to allow transmission of packets only to
stations that the AP knows to exist in the Wireless LAN (behind the
Wireless Bridge).
• Forward Unknown – Type 1 to allow transmission of all packets
except those sent to stations that the AP recognizes as being on its
wired Ethernet side. When connecting very large networks; it is
recommended to set this parameter to forward unknown.
• Intelligent Bridging Period (AP Only) – Intelligent bridging enables
smooth roaming of WB-10 units. When intelligent bridging is enabled,
the AP goes into a special bridging mode for a fixed amount of time
whenever a wireless bridge (WB) roams into its area. This mode causes
the AP to forward packets destined for the stations behind the WB-10.
Even though, they are known or were learned from the wired side
