Functions specific to SCALANCE
4.4 iPCF-MC
SCALANCE W760/W720 to IEEE 802.11n Command Line Interface
104 Configuration Manual, 10/2015, C79000-G8976-C351-05
Commands in the WLAN configuration mode
This section describes commands that you can call up in the WLAN configuration mode.
In the Global Configuration mode, enter the
wlan command to change to this mode.
Commands relating to other topics that can be called in the WLAN configuration mode can
be found in the relevant sections.
● If you exit the WLAN configuration mode with the
exitcommand, you return to the Global
configuration mode.
● If you exit the WLAN Configuration mode with the
end command, you return to the
Privileged EXEC mode.
Note
The command is only available with the following device:
SCALANCE W722-1 RJ-45 (MLFB 6GK5722-1FC00-0AA0 and 6GK5722-1FC00-0AB0
(US version))
With this command, you enable iPCF-MC on this SCALANCE W700 device.
● You are in the WLAN configuration mode.
The command prompt is as follows:
cli(config-wlan)#
● The access point has at least two WLAN interfaces (dual AP).
● Access point mode: Only dual APs with KEY-PLUG W780 iFeatures (MLFB 6GK5 907-
8PA00)
● Client mode: Client with KEY-PLUG W740 iFeatures (MLFB 6GK5 907-4PA00)
● The management interface and data interface must be operated in the same frequency
band and mode and must match in terms of their wireless coverage. iPCF-MC will not
work if both wireless interfaces are equipped with directional antennas that cover different
areas.
● The management interfaces of all access points to which a client can change must use
the same channel. A client scans only this one channel to find accessible access points.
● Transmission based on IEEE801.11h (DFS) cannot be used for the management
interface. 801.11h (DFS) is possible for the data interface.
● The client cannot be operated with "Use Allowed Channel only".
● "Force roaming on Ethernet down" is automatically mirrored on the second interface.
● The following applies to clients: All configured and active SSIDs must be assigned to
security context 1. An SSID is active when the corresponding check box "Enabled" is
selected on the page "Interfaces > WLAN > Client".
● In Japan, iPCF-MC cannot be enabled if the data or management interface uses a
frequency of the 4920 MHz - 5080 MH frequency band.
