the SSID does not appear in the beacon.
Allow Store &
Forward If this option is enabled , two wireless devices
connected to the Extricom WLAN with the same
SSID can communicate and transfer data to each
other without going through a router. Traffic
between wireless devices will not be forwarded to
the LAN switch.
If this option is
disabled , all traffic goes through the
LAN switch. Wireless devices will not be able to
communicate without going through a router. This
could be used by IT managers to apply security
settings or various policies in the LAN network.
