Chapter 4: Access Point Configuration
General Configuration
4.4.1 General Configuration
Access Point Mode Enabled
When this 9150 is used only as an 802.IQ base station and not as an access point,
this parameter should be disabled to reduce CPU time. Only broadcast and
multicast frames will be passed through. Enable (
√ ) this parameter for the 9150
functioning as an access point.
The default value is enabled.
Address Filters Enabled
The checkbox in this parameter enables or disables the Address Filters function. If
filtering is enabled (
√ ), the 9150 can filter out frames based on destination MAC
addresses. The list of MAC addresses for filtering is set by the Address Filters option
on page 81. Frames are filtered and either forwarded or discarded, depending on the
rest of the settings in this configuration. If filtering is disabled, no filtering will be
done based on MAC addresses.
Address Filters Default Action
This parameter determines which Address Filters Default Action (discard or for-
ward) will be performed when the Address Filters Enabled parameter is checked
(
√). If an address does not match any of the addresses set in the Address Filters con-
figuration (see page 81), then it will take the Address Filters Default Action selected
in this parameter.
