DSCP mapping for WMM
voice AC
DSCP used to map WMM voice traffic.
The supported range is 0-255, and the default is 56.
DSCP mapping for WMM
video AC
Select the DSCP used to map WMM video traffic.
The supported range is 0-255, and the default is 40.
DSCP mapping for WMM
best-effort AC
Select the DSCP value used to map WMM best-effort traffic.
The supported range is 0-255, and the default is 24.
DSCP mapping for WMM
background AC
Select the DSCP used to map WMM background traffic.
The supported range is 0-255, and the default is 8.
Hide SSID Select this checkbox to enable or disable the hiding of the SSID name in beacon frames. Note that
hiding the SSID does very little to increase security.
Deny_Broadcast Probes When a client sends a broadcast probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this option
controls whether or not the system responds for this SSID. When enabled, no response is sent and
clients have to know the SSID in order to associate to the SSID. When disabled, a probe response
frame is sent for this SSID.
Local Probe Request
Threshold (dB)
Enter the SNR threshold below which incoming probe requests will get ignored. The supported
range of values is 0-100 dB. A value of 0 disables this feature.
Disable Probe Retry Click this checkbox to enable or disable battery MAC level retries for probe response frames. By
default this parameter is enabled, which mean that MAC level retries for probe response frames is
disabled.
Battery Boost Converts multicast traffic to unicast before delivery to the client, thus allowing you to set a longer
DTIM interval. The longer interval keeps associated wireless clients from activating their radios for
multicast indication and delivery, leaving them in power-save mode longer and thus lengthening
battery life.
This parameter requires the PEFNG license.
WEP Key 1 First static WEP key associated with the key index. Can be 10 or 26 hex characters in length.
WEP Key 2 Second static WEP key associated with the key index. Can be 10 or 26 hex characters in length.
WEP Key 3 Third Static WEP key associated with the key index. Can be 10 or 26 hex characters in length.
WEP Key 4 Fourth Static WEP key associated with the key index. Can be 10 or 26 hex characters in length.
WEP Transmit Key Index Key index that specifies which static WEP key is to be used. Can be 1, 2, 3, or 4.
WPA Hexkey WPA pre-shared key (PSK).
WPA Passphrase WPA passphrase with which to generate a pre-shared key (PSK).
Maximum Transmit Failures Maximum transmission failures allowed before the client gives up
BC/MC Rate Optimization Click this checkbox to enable or disable scanning of all active stations currently associated to an
AP to select the lowest transmission rate for broadcast and multicast frames. This option only
applies to broadcast and multicast data frames; 802.11 management frames are transmitted at the
lowest configured rate.
NOTE: Do not enable this parameter unless instructed to do so by your Dell technical support
representative.
Strict Spectralink Voice
Protocol (SVP)
Click this checkbox to enable Strict Spectralink Voice Protocol (SVP)
802.11g Beacon Rate Click this drop-down list to select the beacon rate for 802.11g (use for Distributed Antenna System
(DAS) only). Using this parameter in normal operation may cause connectivity problems.
802.11a Beacon Rate Click this drop-down list to select the beacon rate for 802.11a (use for Distributed Antenna System
(DAS) only). Using this parameter in normal operation may cause connectivity problems.
