Chapter 3 – Application Mode

The two Dual-Band radios (a/g + a/g) supply the furthest flexible application. Three application modes are supplied by BW1250:

 AP + AP mode

 AP + Bridge mode

AP + AP Mode

AP + AP configuration can be for client density environment.

The typical usage that is recommended is: 11g AP + 11a AP.

Figure 6 – AP +AP application mode

AP + Bridge Mode

AP + Bridge configuration is for environment with last mile issue.

The typical usage that is recommended is: 11g AP + 11a Bridge.

Browan Page 17 of 68

BW1250 Sep. 22, 2006

Figure 7 – AP +Bridge application mode

Because of the reason of the antenna interference, the performance will deteriorate dramatically if the same band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) is used both on the two RF modules. It is strongly recommended that one RF module uses 2.4GHz and the other uses 5GHz.

Radio Name – specify which wireless interface of BW1250 is shown

Domain – select the regulatory domain according to your country

The full frequency range of the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is not permitted for use in all countries. Depending on your selection of regulatory domains, the available frequency channels will vary.

Before changing radio settings manually, make sure that your settings comply with government regulations. At all times, it ‘s the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that the installation complies with local radio regulations. Refer to the Appendix:

C) Regulatory Domain/Channels.

Channels – select the channel that the access point will use to transmit and receive information. If

one channel is defined, it acts as default channel. Channels list will vary depending on selected regulatory domain and selected band. Multiple frequency channels are used to avoid interference between two radios of this AP, and between nearby access points. If you wish to operate more than one access point in overlapping coverage areas, we recommend a distance of at least four channels between the chosen channels. For example, for three Access Points in close proximity choose channels 1, 6 and 11 for 11b/g or channels 36, 40 and 64 for 11a.

Band – working band on which your radio is working.

Five bands are supplied: 5GHz (11a), , 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g), 2.4GHz (11g only), 2.4GHz (Mixed

11g WiFi) and 2.4GHz (11g only WiFi).

If 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g) or 2.4GHz (11g only) is selected, the radio will work on 2.4GHz for a better performance. 2.4GHz (11g only) mode only allows 11g client access. 2.4GHz (Mixed 11g) mode allows 11b/11g client access.

2.4GHz (Mixed 11g WiFi) or 2.4GHz (11g only WiFi) can make sure to compatible with Wi-Fi.

If 5GHz (11a) is selected, the radio will work on 5GHz 11a mode.

Only under Bridge mode, Turbo Mode 11a can be set.

Output Power - indicates output power of the RF card in dBm, antenna gain is not included.

Total Output Power (EIRP) = Antenna Gain + RF card output power

The range of the EIRP varies with channel and regulatory domain.

Antenna – show the type of Antenna.

RTS Threshold – when set, this settings specifies the maximum packet size beyond which RTS/CTS

mechanism is be invokes. The value range of this is [0 …2347]. Default is 2347 which means that RTS is disabled.

Enable DCA – Enable or Disable DCA service. DCA can help to choose the best working channel automatically. And static channel selection will be forbidden if DCA is enabled.

DCA(Dynamic Channel Allocation) solution automatically select the optimal operational frequency channel when power up and periodically monitors the environment and adjusts for the best operational frequency channel.

Browan Page 40 of 68

BW1250 Sep. 22, 2006

DCA service is available only under 2.4GHz band.

DCA threshold – specify the value (in minutes) of DCA threshold. This threshold is been used to judge if there is no wireless users connected during this time. And if yes, BW1250 will monitor the environment and adjust channel for the best operational one.

If wireless network environment is stable which means auto channel selection needn’t do frequently, set a big value for DCA threshold to gain a stable wireless users’ connection.

If wireless network environment changes continually, frequent auto channel selection is needed. So set a relative small value for DCA threshold to let channel change based on wireless environment.

Wireless users will be kicked off when DCA is processing (site survey and new operational frequency channel takes effect).

DCA optional channel – specify the channels only in which auto channel selection (DCA) will choose for reducing interference reference.

Only when DCA is enabled, DCA threshold and DCA optional channel will be shown.

Layer 2 Isolation – layer2 wireless client separation. Connected clients with user isolation function enabled cannot access each other directly. The clients are isolated from each other using their MAC addresses [enabled/disabled].

Mode – two modes are supplied: AP mode and Bridge mode.

Wireless | Advance

BW1250 supports Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs per radio on BW1250 and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can think BW1250 as single AP with multi service supporting, including different security policy, different VLAN ID, different authentication etc. All the BSSIDs are active at the same time that means client devices can associate to the access point for specific service. Use the Wireless | Advance menu to configure properties related to Multiple BSSID, including configure SSID, Hidden SSID, VLAN, and Security for each SSID.

Each BSSID can have its own SSID. In this case, Multiple BSSID is the same with Multiple ESSID. Wireless users can think BW1250 as multiple virtual APs, each supporting different service, and connects one SSID for the special services.

Also, BW1250 supports Bridge function, it can support up to 8 Bridge links per radio. Different bridge link can use different WEP key index.
