Chapter 4: Configuring the Radios
100
Node Type Configure the 802.11g radio to master, station, or
disabled:
Master: The radio always operates in Master
mode. The radio becomes active to accept
connections for wireless devices when the
access point joins the spanning tree. All service
sets to be configured for a VLAN must be set to
Master.
Station: The radio always operates in Station
mode. The radio searches for an access point
with an active Master mode radio to connect to. If
a connection is established, this link becomes a
possible connection to the root.
Disabled: The radio is disabled.
You can create up to four service sets for this
radio by setting the Node Type as follows:
If the primary service set is Master, up to
three secondary SSIDs may be set to Master.
If the primary SSID is Station, all secondary
service sets are disabled and do not appear
on screen.
If the primary service set is Disabled, all
secondary service sets (and the physical
radio) are disabled.
SSID
(Network Name)
Enter a unique SSID for each enabled service
set. You can configure up to four service sets for
this radio. The SSID is case sensitive and cannot
be more than 32 alphanumeric characters.
802.11g radios can be configured to
communicate with other 802.11g and/or 802.11b
radios with the same SSIDs.
You need to assign the same SSID to the
wireless end devices that will connect to the
radio.
Member Limit Controls the maximum number of devices that
can be associated with this enabled service set.
