6: Network Settings
Network settings for the SGX 5150 can be viewed and modified under the Network tab in the Web
Manager user interface. This chapter describes the following network settings:
Access Point
Configure software-enabled access point interface (SoftAP) on this page. Access point status
information displays at the bottom half of the page.
Table 6-1 Access Point Settings
Access Point Field
Description
State
Select to enable or disable the access point. If enabled, the DHCP server
will assign IP addresses to the access point clients.
Multicast Forwarding
Select to enable or disable forwarding of multicast packets.
Channel Selection
Select the desired channel from the drop-down menu through which the
SoftAP will operate:
Automatic
: Allow the radio to select the channel for the SoftAP.
Configured
: Specify the channel on which the SoftAP should operate.
Note:
The Configured setting will only control the channel on which the
SoftAP operates as long as the station (STA) interface is not connected to
an access point. Once the STA interface has established an association
with an access point, the SoftAP will move to the STA interface's channel
(determined by the access point.) The channel selected by the user will be
validated by the UI against a list of channels supported by the radio. To
prevent inconsistent channel/band combinations the UI will coordinate the
'SoftAP channel' and 'WLAN Band' settings.
Channel
Enter the Channel number to be configured.
Note:
This field appears when a Configured channel selection is selected.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the SoftAP interface.
Network Name (SSID)
Specify the network name/SSID of the access point. The SSID update will
take effect after the SGX 5150 gateway is rebooted.
