5.4.4. SU Settings (WLAN1 only)
Only WLAN1 has the ‘SU Settings’ secondary tab, since WLAN2 can only be operated in AP
mode. The configuration in SU Settings will only be applied when the WLAN interface is being
used in SU mode. If AP mode is used, the configuration in SU Settings will not be used, but it
will be retained nonetheless. The SU Settings page is shown in Figure 14.

Basic Settings
Wireless mode:
choose the wireless mode to be used with the SU mode
Infrastructure: for AP-SU hierarchical links
Ad hoc: peer-to-peer mode. This is a non-hierarchical direct communication mode
between SUs, where an AP is not required.
BSSID:
if a client sees two APs with the same SSID, there will be some ambiguity as to which
AP the client should select to establish a connection. Specifying the BSSID (the MAC address
of the desired AP) resolves such ambiguity. Both SSID and BSSID must match for a wireless
link to be established. The BSSID must be entered as octets separated by colons (e.g.:
00:60:B3:F8:C6:D4). Both lower and upper case letters are acceptable.
