Parameter
Description
Hidden SSID SSIDs that share the same BST MAC address, where only SSID #1 is
broadcast, and this SSID cannot be disabled.
WMM Classification Packet prioritization over Wi-Fi is based on four access categories defined
by the WMM standard:
• Voice traffic
• Video traffic
• Best effort traffic
• Background traffic
A packet sent to the Ethernet interface of the base station is classified as
one of the Access categories. This classification is performed using
ToS, DSCP or VLAN priorities. For information about classification
configuration, please see QoS Packet Priority.
ACL Group The ACL (Access Control List) controls who can access the VAP.
A list is created according to specific parameters, and given a unique
name, and will either define a white group (those users permitted VAP
access), or a black group (those users denied VAP access).
The group name specified here, is created and configured in XXXX

Authentication Combinations
WBS-2400 allows the following authentication types and combinations.
• Open (none) and Shared Key are the basic 802.11n authentications. In Shared Key authentication,
the WEP key is used as the shared key. If the VAP is configured to Open + Shared Key, both types of
clients can associate to the WBSn.
• The WPA authentication automatically presumes that the basic 802.11 authentication is Open. WPA
defines advanced authentications, either PSK (Pre-Shared Key) or RADIUS. The initial keys are
determined during the last phase of the WPA authentication.
• When RADIUS Authentication is used, the RADIUS server can determine which VLAN belongs to which
user.
Note: WBSn-2400 supports multiple VLAN per VAP.
• WBSn-2400 enables a VAP that supports both RADIUS and PSK authentication, with the exact method
determined according to the packet that comes from the client. If multiple VLANs are defined over such
a VAP, clients authenticated using PSK are assigned to the default VLAN, while clients authenticated
using RADIUS have their VLAN determined by the RADIUS.
• Each VAP can have a different RADIUS server configured. This allows for the transportation of several
networks over the same infrastructure of WBSn-2400
