Modifying WLAN Profiles 183
■ At Association — Enables load balancing with the associated
station. Stations can be moved to an adjacent access point when
load balancing is set to At Association. Services are assigned when
the stations associate with the access point. If there is a access
point which is not as busy, the station to access point association is
rejected.
■ Periodically — Enables load balancing to occur at a fixed time
period. Stations are moved to less busy APs in the ESS based on
load balancing periods.
■ QoS Mode — Determines the QoS mode on the interface. The
possible values are:
■ WMM — Indicates that QoS is enabled for Wi-Fi Multimedia
(EDCF).
■ None — Indicates that QoS mode is disabled.
■ VLAN — Displays the VLAN mapped to the SSID.
■ Security Type — Defines the WLAN Security type. The security type
options are:
■ Open — Enables open system authentication without encryption.
■ WEP — Indicates that Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the
selected WLAN security method. WEP provides the same security
level as a wired LAN. WEP encrypts data over radio waves during
the packet transmission. WEP keys are 40 bit or 104 bit encryption
keys.
■ Open WEP — Enables Open WEP. Open WEP authenticates only with
WEP encryption.
Open-WEP, shared WEP, and Open-shared-WEP security suites cannot be
enabled simultaneously.
■ Shared WEP — Enables Shared WEP. Shared authentication only
with WEP encryption.
■ Open-Shared WEP — Enables Shared WEP. Open or shared
authenticates with WEP encryption.
■ Key Input — Indicates the key type used for authentication. The
possible field values are:
■ Hex — Authenticates using an Hex key. One hexadecimal character
is 4 bits.
