LABEL DESCRIPTION
Profile Name This is the name that identifying this profile.
SSID When a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that is
broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.
Security Select a security profile to use with this SSID profile. See Section 6.6 on page 74 for
more information. If you do not want this profile to use wireless security, select
Disabled.
RADIUS Select a RADIUS profile from the drop-down list box, if you have a RADIUS server
configured. If you do not need to use RADIUS authentication, ignore this field. See
Section 6.7 on page 87 for more information.
MAC Filtering
Select a MAC filter profile from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to use MAC
filtering on this profile, select Disabled.
QoS Select the Quality of Service priority for this BSS’s traffic.
• If you select WMM from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet depends on the
packet’s IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. If a packet has no WMM value assigned to
it, it is assigned the default priority.
•If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BESTEFFORT or
WMM_BACKGROUND, the NWA1121-NI applies that QoS setting to all of that
SSID’s traffic.
•If you select None, the NWA1121-NI applies no priority to traffic on this SSID.
Note: When you configure an SSID profile’s QoS settings, the NWA1121-NI applies the
same QoS setting to all of the profile’s traffic.
