8.3 Technical Reference

This section provides technical background information about the topics covered in

this chapter.

Select SSID Profile An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the NWA’s

BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set

with which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations

associating with the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.

Note: If you are configuring the NWA from a computer

connected to the wireless LAN and you change the

NWA’s SSID or security settings, you will lose your

wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm.

You must then change the wireless settings of your

computer to match the NWA’s new settings.

Index Select the check box to activate an SSID profile.

Active Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise,

clear the check box to disable it.

Profile Select the profile(s) of the SSIDs you want to use in your wireless

network. You can have up to eight BSSs running on the NWA

simultaneously, one of which is always the pre-configured

VoIP_SSID profile and another of which is always the pre-

configured Guest_SSID profile.

Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen.

Enable Antenna

Diversity

(For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only)

Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple

antennas to reduce signal interference.

Enable Spanning

Tree Control (STP)

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links

between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact

with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that

only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

Select the check box to activate STP on the NWA.

Enable Roaming Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to

another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select

this checkbox to enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or

more NWAs on the same subnet.

Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations

must have the same SSID to allow roaming.

Apply Click Apply to save your changes.
