5.2 Network > VLAN
Virtual LAN is a method of creating independent networks within a physical network.
Several VLANs can co-exist within such a network. This VLAN implementation is
based on the IEEE 802.1Q tagging protocol. Figure 5.2.1 illustrates the VLAN
configuration page.
Figure 5.2.1: VLAN configuration page
To configure VLAN:
• Active VLAN list all activated VLAN. By default, only VLAN0 is active.
Click on “Edit” button to edit active VLAN.

5.3 Network > Mesh
This device will form a wireless mesh network with other device provided the correct
configuration. Figure 5.3.1 illustrates the wireless settings of the mesh.
Figure 5.3.1: Mesh - wireless configuration page
Mesh – wireless page contain the following parameter:
• MAC address – Display the MAC address of Mesh – wireless interface.
• Mode – Click on “Mode” drop down menu to select “AP”, “STA”,
“ADHOC” or “WDS” operating mode. AP mode will bring the wireless
device to Access Point mode. Under this mode, it can connect multiple
EnGenius Mesh AP-EOA-8670 User Manual & Configuration Guide
Page 17 of 67
EnGenius Mesh AP-EOA-8670 User Manual & Configuration Guide
wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network and
can relay data between wireless and wired devices.
STA mode will bring the wireless device to Station mode. Under this mode,
it needs to connect to an AP to join the wireless network.
ADHOC mode will bring the wireless device to adhoc mode where no AP
is required. The connection is established for the duration of one session
by discovering others device within range.
WDS mode will bring the wireless device to form a wireless distribution
system that connects to other AP to form a larger network. Data can be
ralayed between 2 stations.
Only ADHOC mode is allowed in mesh network. Mode other than
ADHOC is disabled and not supported.
• Band – Click on “Band” drop down menu to select “802.11a”, “802.11b”
or “802.11g’ operating band. Choose 802.11a if you want to operates mesh
network under the 5GHz spectrum and up to 54Mbps. However, make sure
your hardware is supported for this kind of operation. Choose 802.11b for
operation under 2.4 GHz spectrums for rates up to 11Mbps. Choose
802.11g for operation under 2.4GHz that are backward compatible with
802.11b band. It can support rates up to 54Mbps.
• ESSID – Extended Service Set Identifier is a code attached to all packets
on a wireless network to identify each packet as part of that network. This
entry is case sensitive text string which consists of a maximum of 32
alphanumeric characters. Enter your ESSID into this field that consistent
with other mesh so that it can join or form the mesh network.
• Frequency – Click on “Frequency” drop down menu to select operating
frequency of wireless network in GHz.
• Beacon Interval – Beacon are management packets sent by an Access
Point to manage and synchronize a wireless network. Value in the range of
20 to 1000 milliseconds is permitted. The default value is set to 100
milliseconds.

EnGenius Mesh AP-EOA-8670 User Manual & Configuration Guide
• RTS Threshold – Request to Send management packet. With smaller RTS
length value, the wireless network can recover from interference and
collisions quicker at a cost of reducing the maximum throughput. Network
with heaving loading or interference is advised to use smaller value of
RTS.
• Fragmentation Threshold – Fragmentation of packet into desired length.
Network with high packet error should use smaller value. Use of small
value will results in lower throughput due to more overheads is introduced.
• DTIM Interval – Delivery Traffic Indication Message is a countdown
mechanism for informing associated stations of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
interval value. Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. A range of value 1 to 255 is permitted.
The default value is 1.
• Datarate – Click on “Datarate” drop down menu to select wireless
network datarate. For example, 1 Mbps, 2 Mps, 5.5 Mbps……
• Tx antenna – Click on “Tx antenna” drop down button to select
“Diversity”, “Card Default”, “Port 1”, or “Port 2”.
• Rx antenna - Click on “Rx antenna” drop down button to select
“Diversity”, “Card Default”, “Port 1”, or “Port 2”.
• Current Maximum Tx Power (dBm) – Display current maximum Tx
power.
• Maximum Tx Power (dBm) – Show the maximum Tx power of this
device.
• Security – Add security features to the wireless network. Click on
“Security” drop down button to select “Open”, “WEP” or “AES”. Only
when select “WEP” or “AES” will display “Encryption Key” field as
shown in Figure 5.3.2.
