5 WLAN interface parameter
With firmware >= 2.09 several WLAN profiles can be set up on the MC. With this feature it is possible to
switch between different WLAN networks at several locations without changing the locations.
A maximum of 8 WLAN profiles can be created.
The parameters for the WLAN interface can be configured on the following websites:
Main Parameter: Mode, amount of WLAN profiles and physical settings such as the frequency band used
and the transmission power
SSID Profil1-8: SSID, Encryption Mode, Keying Protocol, Key, EAP settings incl. certificates.
Roaming: SNR thresholds , restriction of channels , pingtest function, access point restrictions
5.1 Wireless LAN Parameter
Nr. Parameter Values Funktion
1 Wireless Mode Infrastructure
Ad-Hoc
Access Point
This determines the role of the MC in the WLAN network.
1 Infrastructure WLAN-Client
with connection to an Access Point.
2 Ad-Hoc Direct connection to another Ad-Hoc
subscriber
3 The MC is an Access Point
2 SSID-Profiles 1-8 Number of WLAN profiles to be displayed and thus made
configurable.
3 Phy Mode 2,4 GHz
5 GHz
2,4+5 GHz
Here it is possible to specify in which frequency band the MC has to
scan (scan) in order to find a WLAN network defined in the profiles.
4 Country Here, the user must set the country in which the MC is operated.
5 Enable Sleep
Mode
In order to keep the power consumption of the MC device as small
as possible, this function can be activated. When this function is
active, the MC reacts delayed to incoming requests.
6 802.11bg
bitrate setting
This setting is only possible for the 2.4GHz band.
This allows you to limit the bit rates to be used in 802.11bg mode.
Thus, e.g. Prevent data with lower bit rates from being sent and
thus minimizing channel usage.
A restriction of the bit rates should only be made, if the operator of
the WLAN infrastructure this pretends.
7 Power
Selection
This parameter determines the transmission power of the MC radio
card. This setting is normally set to "Auto (MAX)".
8 Antenna
selection
This setting can be used to determine which antenna is to be used
for transmitting / receiving. It is not necessary to change the setting
"Ant1 + Ant2", even if only one antenna is connected.
