If the maximum transmit power is set to be larger than local regulation allows,
the maximum Tx power regulated will be applied in actual situation.
NOTE: In most cases, it is unnecessary to select maximum transmit power.
Selecting larger transmit power t
han needed may cause interference to
neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will reduce longevity of the
device. Select a certain transmit power is enough
to achieve the best
performance.
5.1.2 SSIDs
SSIDs can work together with switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN. The EAP can build up to eight
virtual wireless networks per radio for users to access. At the same time, it adds different VLAN
tags to the clients which connect to the corresponding wireless network. It supports maximum
8 VLANs per radio. The clients in different VLAN cannot directly communicate with each other.
Clients connected to the device via cable do not belong to any VLAN. Thus wired client can
communicate with all the wireless clients despite the VLAN settings.
