WPA-6101 300Mbps Wireless Ceiling Gigabit PoE Access Point
5. Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN).
Client stations can roam freely over this device and other Access Points that
have the same Network ID. (The factory default setting is “default”)
6. SSID Broadcast: The device will broadcast beacons that have some information,
including SSID so that wireless clients can know how many AP devices by
scanning the network. Therefore, if this setting is configured as “Disable”, the
wireless clients can not find the device from beacons.
7. VLAN ID: Supports mapping of SSIDs to VLANs to separate workgroups across
wireless and wired domains.
8. Max Supported Stations: Support Max Stations to associated related SSID.
9. Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the
Regulatory Domain. The factory default setting is auto channel selection.
10. Wireless Mode: RF1 Module can choose “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N
mixed” and the factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed”. Authentication &
Encryption: You may select one of the following authentications to secure your
wireless network: Open (include 802.1x), Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA,
WPA2-PSK, WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.
 Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first
is an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically
the MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP
containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may
occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP
configuration.
 Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the
authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The
shared key is manually set on both the client station and the AP. Three types
of shared key authentication are available today for home or small office
WLAN environments.
 Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.
 WPA-PSK
Select Encryption mode and enter the Pre-share Key. You can fill in 64
hexadecima
l (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, or 8 to 63 ASCII characters as the
pre-share key.
 WPA
Select Encryption mode and enter RADIUS Server related information. You
have to specify the IP address, and port number for the RADIUS Server, and
