Microhard Systems VIP4G - AP Isolation; Ssid; TX Power

© Microhard Systems Inc. 86
4.0 Configuration
This setting establishes the transmit power level which will be
presented to the antenna connectors at the rear of the VIP4G. Unless
required, the Tx Power should be set not for maximum, but rather for
the minimum value required to maintain an adequate system fade
margin.

Refer to FCC (or as
otherwise applicable)
regulations to ascertain,
and not operate beyond,
the maximum allowable
transmitter output power
and effective isotropic
radiated power (EIRP).
Wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless
interconnection of access points. WDS preserves the MAC addresses
of client frames across links between access points

Disabling the SSID broadcast helps secure the wireless network.
Enabling the broadcast of the SSID (Network Name) will permit others
to ‘see’ the wireless network and perhaps attempt to ‘join’ it.
ESSID Broadcast
Values (selection)
On / Off
SSID: Service Set Identifier.
The ‘name’ of a wireless
network. In an open wireless
network, the SSID is
broadcast; in a closed system
it is not. The SSID must be
known by a potential client for
it to be able to access the
wireless network.
All devices connecting to the VIP4G in a given network must use the
SSID of the VIP4G. This unique network address is not only a security
feature for a particular network, but also allows other networks - with
their own unique network address - to operate in the same area
without the possibility of undesired data exchange between networks.
SSID
Values (string)
wlan0
Change the default value for
the Network Name to
something unique for your
network. Do this for an
added measure of security
and to differentiate your
network from others which
may be operating nearby.
When AP Isolation is enabled wireless devices connected to this SSID
will not be able to communicate with each other. In other words if the
VIP4G is being used as a Hot Spot for many wireless clients, AP
Isolation would provide security for those clients by not allowing
access to any other wireless device.
