The application must support WMM.
WMM shall be enabled on the Access Point.
WMM shall be enabled in the wireless adapter on client’s computer.
IAPP: IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is a protocol by which access points share information about the
stations connected to them. When this function is enabled, the system will automatically broadcast
information of associated wireless stations to its peer access points. This will help wireless stations roam
smoothly among IAPP-enabled access points in the same wireless LAN.
Multicast-to-Unicast Conversion: When Multicast-to-Unicast Conversion is enabled, the Access Point
intelligently forwards traffic only to those ports that request multicast traffic. Adversely, when disabled,
multicast traffic is treated like broadcast traffic, with packets forwarded to all ports causing network
inefficiencies.
Multicast/Broadcast Rate: Bandwidth configuration for multicast/broadcast packets. If your wireless clients
require a larger or smaller bandwidth for sending multicast/ broadcast packets, the administrator can
customize the Access Point’s multicast/ broadcast bandwidth here.
Management Frame Rate: This feature controls the bandwidth for Management Frames. The higher
the rate it, the shorter range the transmission covers
Receiving RSSI Threshold: To ensure connected stations have quality connection speeds, a station will not
be able to associate to the network unless its receiving sensitivity meets the configured threshold.

WDS Management
This list is to show the information of each WDS link configured in the managed AP, including Peer AP,
Band, Channel, Security, TX Power, Link Speed, SNR, TX Bytes, TX Packets, STP and Status.
The WDS link if established between APs listed on List will be listed here with related information such as
the Band and Channel of the link, Security settings if any and the Transmit Power, Byte, Packets etc.

Backup Configuration
8.6.1
Backed up Config files can be used to restore an AP’s settings in List. When administrator backs up an AP’s
configuration settings, all the backup files are listed on the Backup Config tab page and can be
downloaded to a local storage device or deleted from WLAN controller’s memory.
Firmware
8.6.2
The WLAN controller can store AP’s firmware in its’ built-in memory. Under the Firmware tab page
administrator can upload new AP firmware to the WLAN controller’s memory allowing for easy remote AP
upgrade and restore operations from the AP List page. The AP firmware listed under this page can be
downloaded or deleted from WLAN controller memory if desired.
