Broadcast SSID, Station Isolation, and Security Mode
To configure security on the access point, select a security mode and fill in the related fields as described
in the following table. (Note you can also allow or prohibit the Broadcast SSID and enable/disable Station
Isolation as extra precautions as mentioned below.)
Field Description
Broadcast SSID To enable the Broadcast SSID, select the checkbox directly beside it.
By default, the access point broadcasts (allows) the Service Set Identifier (SSID) in its
beacon frames.
Y
ou can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from
automatically discovering your access point. When the AP’s broadcast SSID is
suppressed, the network name will not be displayed in the List of Available Networks
on a client station. Instead, the client must have the exact network name configured in
the supplicant before it will be able to connect.
Station Isolation To enable station isolation, select the checkbox directly beside it.
When disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by
sending traffic through the access point.
When enabled, the access point blocks communication between wireless clients.
The access point still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired
devices on the network, but not among wireless clients. The traffic blocking
extends to wireless clients connected to the network via WDS links; these clients
cannot communicate with each other when Station Isolation is on. See
“Configuring the Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
” for more information
about WDS.
Deny
communication
between Radio 1
and Radio 2
To enable Deny communication between Radio 1 and Radio 2, select the checkbox
directly beside it.
When disabled, wireless clients connected to radio 1 can communicate with
those connected to radio 2 normally by sending traffic through the access point.
When enabled, the access point blocks communication between the wireless
clients connecting to radio 1 and the wireless clients connected to radio 2. The
access point still allows data traffic among its wireless clients connected to the
same radio, but not across radios. The blocking will not take effect to wireless
clients connected to the network via WDS links; for example, wireless clients
connected to radio 1 can communicate with wireless clients connected to the
network via WDS even though Deny communication between Radio 1 and Radio 2
is on.
Note: When Station Isolation is enabled, Deny communication between Radio 1 and
Radio 2 will also be enabled automatically.
