Figure 2-14 The adding SSID interface
(1) SSID: short for Service Set Identifier, can divide a WLAN into
several subnetworks requiring different authentications. Each
subnetwork needs independent authentication and only users
passing the authentication can enter the corresponding
subnetwork. This can prevent the unauthorized users entering this
network. That is to say, SSID is the name of your network.
(2) Broadcast SSID: specifies whether to allow the wireless network to be
searched by others through the SSID name. When this function is
disabled, the wireless network is still available, but it will not be
searched in others' available network list and the wireless network
efficiency will be affected to a certain extent.
(3) VLAN ID: specifies the VLAN ID to be allocated to the AP.
(4) Encryption: specifies whether to encrypt the set SSID. The AP
provides the WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA/WPA2 four encryption modes.
WEP: short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, encrypts the data
transmitted in wireless mode between two devices to prevent the
unauthorized user to bug or invade the wireless network.
WPA: short for Wi-Fi Protected Access, has the WPA and WPA2
standards and protects the Wi-Fi security. It is generated based on
several serious weaknesses found in the last generation of system WEP
by the researcher.
(5) Authentication: specifies the authentication type. Two types are
available, Personal (Pre-shared Key) and Enterprise (Radius). When

Maipu In-Wall AP Series User Manual

Operating Mode: there are three options available: Repeater, Client, and
Disabled. When choosing Repeater or Client, the Wireless parameters of which
you want to connect to should be filled in, including SSID, Encryption,
Channel(for Repeater).
2.4.4 Advanced Setting

Maipu In-Wall AP Series User Manual
Maipu Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 20 of 34
Figure 2-17 The advanced setting interface
(1) Bandwidth: can be set to 20MHz or 40MHz. 40MHz here indicates the
coexistence of 20MHz and 40MHz.
(2) Short GI: can be set to Enable or Disable. GI indicates the transmission
interval of the data block. A short GI results in faster transmission rate and
also high probability of error, especially in the multipath effect environment.
(3) Preamble Type: can be set to Long or Short. The 802.11 frame contains
three parts: preamble, header, and payload. When the preamble is short,
the transmission rate is high, but the compatibility may be poor.
(4) Protection: can be set to Enable or Disable. Protection, b/g Protection,
indicates the protection mode of 802.11b. Because the work modes of b, g,
and n are different, the entire network efficiency will be greatly reduced if
the 802.11b protection is enabled.
(5) Aggregation: can be set to Enable or Disable. Combining multiple data
frames as one frame can obviously improve the network efficiency.
In addition, the relationship among the bandwidth, short GI, and Max Tx rate
can be simply explained in the following mode.
--------------------------------
Bandwidth | short GI | Max TX Rate
----------------------------------------------
20 | Enable | 150 Mbps
----------------------------------------------
20 | Disable | 135 (130) Mbps
-----------------------------------------------
40 | Enable | 300 Mbps
----------------------------------------------
40 | Disable | 270 Mbps
2.4.5 Portal Authentication
On the Portal Auth interface, you can configure the portal authentication
function of the AP, as shown in Figure 2-18.
