BroadcastSSID:Theadministratorhastheoptionofenablingor disablingtheSSIDforVAP1whichisthePrivateZone.
DefaultvalueissetatDisablewhereuserswillnotbeabletoscanfortheSSID.
StationIsolation:Byenablingthisfunction,allstationswirelesslyassociatedtothiszonear
eisolatedfromoneanother
andcanonlycommunicatewiththesystem.
WMM:ThedefaultisEnable.Wi‐FiMultimedia(WMM)isaQualityofService(QoS)featurethatprioritizeswirelessdata
packets based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background.Applications without WMM and
applicationsthatdonotre
quireQoSareassig nedtothebest‐effortcategory,whichreceivesalowerprioritythanthatof
voice and video.Therefore, WMM decides which data streams are more important and assigns them a higher traffic
priority.ThisoptionworkswithWMM‐capableclientsonly.
IGMPSnooping:IGMPisam
ulticastc onstrainingmechanismwhichmayfloodthebroadcastdomain.Thisiseffectivefor
denseinternetusagesuchasconventionsorcampuses.

Normally,weuse VA P2,the VAPunder Public Zo ne, to provide wirelessservice to public clients in a hotspot environment.To

 WirelessSettings:VAP2(WirelessSettingsforPublicZone)

 Basic: Enable the VAPStatus if you wish to provide wireless serviceunder this zone.Assign an ESSID for VAP2 under
PublicZoneorusedefault,theESSIDofPublicZonewillbebroadcastedindefaultsettingstoallowit tobescannedin
theair.
 Security:Configure thewirel
essnetworkunderPublicZonewith securityencryptiontoprevent unauthorizedwireless
associationifnecessary.TheencryptionstandardssupportedareWEPandWPA‐PSK.
 Advanced:TheparametersinAdvancedare wirelesssettingsthatallowcustomizationof data transmission,enhanced
securityandwirelessroaming.
Beacon Interval: The entered amount of time in
dicates how often the beacon signal will be sent from the VA P . The
defaultvalueissetat100ms.
RTSThreshold:Enteravaluebetween1and2346.RTS(RequesttoSend)Thresholddeterminesthepacketsizeatwhich
the system issues a request to send (RTS) before sending th
e frame to prevent the hidden node problem. The RTS
mechanismwillbeactivatedifthedatasizeexceedsthevalueprovided.AlowerRTSThresholdsettingcanbeusefulin
areaswheremanyclientdevicesareassociatingwiththeRAYTALK RA ‐696 orinareaswheretheclientsarefarapartand
candetectonlytheRAYTA LKRA‐696butnoteachother.Thedefaultvalueissetat2346.
