The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ Status — Enables or disables the wireless service on this interface.
◆
Mode — Selects the mode in which the AP will function.
■
Access Point (Auto ‐ WDS) — The VAP operates as an access point in WDS
mode, which accepts connections from APs in Client WDS mode. (This is
the default setting.)
In this mode, the AP provides services to clients as a normal access point.
WDS is used to automatically search for and connect to other AP nodes
using the same SSID and security settings.
■
Client — The AP can provide a wireless connection to another AP. In this
mode, it can pass information from or to locally wired hosts, but does not
provide services to any wireless clients.
■
Client WDS — The AP provides services to clients as a normal access point,
and operates as a client station in WDS mode, which can connect to other
access points in Auto ‐ WDS mode. Connection to another AP can be made
automatically by other access points operating in Auto ‐ WDS mode.
◆
DFS — Dynamic Frequency Selection can be used to detect and avoid
interference with Radar systems operating in the 5 GHz range (UNII channels
52 ‐ 64 and 100 ‐ 140). If radar is detected, the AP will alter the channel it is
operating on and tell associated stations the channel to which it is moving. This
allows stations to re ‐ associate with minimum interruption. (This parameter is
only applicable to the 5 GHz radio, and is enabled by default.)
◆ 802.11 Mode — Defines the radio operation mode.
■
Radio 0 (5 GHz Radio) — Default: 11a+n; Options: 11a, 11a+n, 11AC
■
Radio 1 (2.4 GHz Radio) — Default: 11b+g; Options: 11b+g, 11b+g+n
