U Physical WLAN settings
Along with the radio channels, the physical WLAN settings can also be used
to activate options such as the bundeling of WLAN packets (TX Burst), hard-
ware compression, or the use of QoS compliant with 802.11e. You also con-
trol the settings for the diversity behavior here.
U Logical WLAN networks
Each WLAN module can support up to eight logical WLAN networks for mo-
bile WLAN clients to register with. The following parameters have to be set
when configuring a logical WLAN network:
D The network name (SSID)
D Open or closed radio LAN
D Encryption settings
D MAC filter
D Client-bridge operation
D Filter settings
U Point-to-point settings
The configuration of P2P connections involves setting not only the operating
mode but also the station name that the Access Point can connect to. Also,
the role as "Master" or "Slave" is set here.
Along with the settings for the Access Point itself, also to be defined is the
remote site that the Access Point can contact via the P2P connection.
For further information please refer to section → Point-to-point connections.
5.4 Group configuration with
LANconfig
When managing multiple devices it can be very helpful to upload a selection
of configuration parameters into a group of devices at once, as opposed to
setting each and every parameter manually in the individual devices, e.g.
with identical client rights in WLAN access points. Importing complete config-
uration files is not a viable alternative since device-specific parameters such
as the IP address are uploaded as well. Group configuration with LANconfig
enables the easy import of partial configuration files and thus makes the si-
multaneous administration of multiple devices a reality.
