WLAN Configuration Parameters
9-6 MX40 WLAN (P/N 865352)
CI Config 1 – these parameters apply to the MX40 once the data reaches the
wired network.
• CI Mode - Standard operation is Multicast. Broadcast and Unicast are
not recommended
• CI Address - 224.0.23.63 or 224.0.23.173 for Multicast
IP Address Configuration – these parameters apply to the MX40 once the
data reaches the wired network
• QoS State: In order to enable Quality of Service for the MX40 data once
it reaches the wired network, the "QoS State" parameter must be
configured "On", and the "QoS Level" must be configured for a value
greater than "0". Note: "WMM Mode" on the "WLAN" page must be
configured for "Enabled" otherwise this setting will be ignored by the
MX40.
• QoS Level: "QoS Level" sets the network QoS priority that the MX40
will use to tag packets. The QoS Level is used for both the wired and
the wireless link. "0" is the lowest priority, "7" is the highest priority.
A QoS Level of "6" is recommended for the MX40.

• Security Mode
WEP, WPA(PSK) or WPA2(PSK), WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-
Enterprise with either Protected EAP (PEAP) or Tunneled TLS (TTLS)
