Figure 1 - Administrator UI Online Help May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 10 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Section 2 - Getting Started The D-Link DWL-x600AP unified access point (UAP) provides continuous, high-speed access between wireless devices and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of any size. The UAP enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking features. The UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface
(UI), command-line interface (CLI), or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unified Wired and Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled. This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and maintenance of the UAP in Standalone Mode. For information about configuring the AP in Managed Mode by using the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch, see the User Manual for the switch. Before you power on a new UAP, review the following sections to check required hardware and software components, client configurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch and test of your new or extended wireless network. The DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP are dual-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n modes. The DWL-2600AP and DWL-3600AP are single-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and 802.11n (2.4 GHz) modes. This section contains the following topics:
) Administrators Computer Requirements on page 11
) Wireless Client Requirements on page 12
) Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP on page 13
) Installing the UAP on page 13
) Basic Settings on page 16
) Using the CLI to View the IP Address on page 17
) Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18
) Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication on page 19
) Verifying the Installation on page 20
) Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point on page 21 To manage the UAP by using the Web interface or by using the CLI through Telnet or SSH, the AP needs an IP address. If you use VLANs or IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on your network, you might need to configure additional settings on the AP before it can connect to the network. Note: The WLAN AP is not designed to function as a gateway to the Internet. To connect your WLAN to other LANs or the Internet, you need a gateway device. Administrators Computer Requirements The following table describes the minimum requirements for the administrators computer for configuration and administration of the UAP through a Web-based user interface (UI). Required Software or Component Serial or Ethernet Connection to the Access Point Description The computer used to configure the first access point must be connected to the access point by a serial cable or an Ethernet cable. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 11 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Required Software or Component Wireless Connection to the Network Description After initial configuration and launch of the first access point on your new wireless network, you can make subsequent configuration changes through the Administration Web pages using a wireless connection to the internal network. Section 2 - Getting Started For wireless connection to the access point, your administration device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any wireless client:
) Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.
) Wireless client software configured to associate with the UAP. Web Browser and Operating System Configuration and administration of the UAP is provided through a Web-
based user interface hosted on the access point. We recommend using one of the following supported Web browsers to access the access point Administration Web pages:
) Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.x or 8.x (with up-to-date patch level for either major version)
) Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 or later
) Safari 5 and later versions Security Settings The administration Web browser must have JavaScript enabled to support the interactive features of the administration interface. Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used to initially configure the access point. Table 2 - Requirements for the Administrators Computer Wireless Client Requirements The UAP provides wireless access to any client with a properly configured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mode in which the access point is running. The UAP supports multiple client operating systems. Clients can be laptop or desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers. To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware described in the following table. Required Component Wi-Fi Client Adapter Wireless Client Software Client Security Settings Description Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point. Client software, such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant, configured to associate with the UAP. Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial configuration of the access point. If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain text, wireless clients will need to set a profile to the authentication mode used by the access point and provide a valid username and password, certificate, or similar user identity proof. Security modes are Static WEP, IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-PSK. For information about configuring security on the access point, see Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47. Table 3 - Requirements for Wireless Clients May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 12 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP When you power on the access point, the built-in DHCP client searches for a DHCP server on the network in order to obtain an IP Address and other network information. If the AP does not find a DHCP server on the network, the AP continues to use its default Static IP Address (10.90.90.91) until you re-assign it a new static IP address (and specify a static IP addressing policy) or until the AP successfully receives network information from a DHCP server. To change the connection type and assign a static IP address by using the CLI, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18 or, by using the Web UI, see Ethernet Settings on page 35. Caution! If you do not have a DHCP server on your internal network, and do not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after powering on the access point is change the connection type from DHCP to static IP. You can either assign a new static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new static IP address so that if you bring up another WLAN AP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique. Recovering an IP Address If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static IP address by resetting the AP configuration to the factory defaults (see Resetting the Factory Default Configuration on page 81), or you can get a dynamically assigned address by connecting the AP to a network that has a DHCP server. Discovering a Dynamically Assigned IP Address If you have access to the DHCP server on your network and know the MAC address of your AP, you can view the new IP address associated with the MAC address of the AP. If you do not have access to the DHCP server that assigned the IP address to the AP or do not know the MAC address of the AP, you might need to use the CLI to find out what the new IP address is. For information about how to discover a dynamically assigned IP address, see Using the CLI to View the IP Address on page 17. Installing the UAP To access the Administration Web UI, you enter the IP address of the AP into a Web browser. You can use the default IP address of the AP (10.90.90.91) to log on to the AP and assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server on you network to assign network information to the AP. The DHCP client on the AP is enabled by default. To install the UAP, use the following steps:
1.) Connect the AP to an administrative PC by using a LAN connection or a direct-cable connection.
) To use a LAN connection, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the access point and the other end to the same hub where your PC is connected, as shown in the following figure. The hub or switch you use must permit broadcast signals from the access point to reach all other devices on the network. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 13 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide) To use a direct-cable connection, connect one end of an Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable to the network port on the access point and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC, as shown in the following figure. You can also use a serial cable to connect the serial port on the AP to a serial port on the administrative computer. Section 2 - Getting Started For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection and no DHCP server, be sure to set your PC to a static IP address in the same subnet as the default IP address on the access point. (The default IP address for the access point is 10.90.90.91.) If you use this method, you will need to reconfigure the cabling for subsequent startup and deployment of the access point so that the access point is no longer connected directly to the PC but instead is connected to the LAN (either by using a hub or directly). Note: It is possible to detect access points on the network with a wireless connection. However, we strongly advise against using this method. In most environments you may have no way of knowing whether you are actually connecting to the intended AP. Also, many of the initial configuration changes required will cause you to lose connectivity with the AP over a wireless connection. 2.) Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back of the access point, and then plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet. 3.) Use your Web browser to log on to the UAP Administration Web pages.
) If the AP did not acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on your network, enter 10.90.90.91 in the address field of your browser, which is the default IP address of the AP.
) If you used a DHCP server on your network to automatically configure network information for the AP, enter the new IP address of the AP into the Web browser.
) If you used a DHCP server and you do not know the new IP address of the AP, use the following procedures to obtain the information:
) Connect a serial cable from the administrative computer to the AP and use a terminal emulation program to
) At the login prompt, enter admin for the user name and admin for the password. At the command prompt, access the command-line interface (CLI). enter get management.
) The command output displays the IP address of the AP. Enter this address in the address field of your browser. For a more detailed explanation about how to log on to the CLI by using the console port, see Using the CLI to View the IP Address on page 24. 4.) When prompted, enter admin for the user name and admin for the password, then click Logon. Figure 2 - Web UI Login Prompt When you first log in, the Basic Settings page for UAP administration is displayed, as the following figure shows. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 14 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Figure 3 - Provide Basic Settings 5.) Verify the settings on the Basic Settings page.
) Review access point description and provide a new administrator password for the access point if you do not want to use the default password, which is admin.
) Click the Apply button to activate the wireless network with these new settings. Note: The changes you make are not saved or applied until you click Apply. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. For information about the fields and configuration options on the Basic Settings page, see Basic Settings on page 16. 6.) If you do not have a DHCP server on the management network and do not plan to use one, you must change the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP. You can either assign a new Static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend assigning a new Static IP address so that if you bring up another UAP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique. To change the connection type and assign a static IP address, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18 (CLI) or Ethernet Settings on page 35 (Web). 7.) If your network uses VLANs, you might need to configure the management VLAN ID or untagged VLAN ID on the UAP in order for it to work with your network. For information about how to configure VLAN information, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18
(CLI) or Ethernet Settings on page 35 (Web). 8.) If your network uses IEEE 802.1X port security for network access control, you must configure the 802.1X supplicant information on the AP. For information about how to configure the 802.1X user name and password, see Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication on page 19. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 15 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Basic Settings From the Basic Settings page, you can view various information about the UAP, including IP and MAC address information, and configure the administrator password for the UAP. The following table describes the fields and configuration options on the Basic Settings page. Field IP Address Description Shows the IP address assigned to the AP. This field is not editable on this page because the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCP, or statically through the Ethernet Settings page). Shows the IPv6 address assigned to the AP. This field is not editable on this page because the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCPv6, or statically through the Ethernet Settings page).

Enter the current administrator password. You must correctly enter the current password before you are able to change it. Enter a new administrator password. The characters you enter are displayed as bullet characters to prevent others from seeing your password as you type. The administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8 characters. Do not use special characters or spaces. Note: As an immediate first step in securing your wireless network, we recommend that you change the administrator password from the default. Re-enter the new administrator password to confirm that you typed it as intended. Select a baud rate for the serial port connection. The baud rate on the AP must match the baud rate on the terminal or terminal emulator to connect to the AP command-line interface
(CLI) by using a serial (console) connection. The following baud rates are available:
) 9600
) 19200
) 38400

Enter the physical location of the AP, for example Conference Room A. Table 4 - Basic Settings Page Connecting to the AP Web Interface by Using the IPv6 Address To connect to the AP by using the IPv6 global address or IPv6 link local address, you must enter the AP address into your browser in a special format. Note: The following instructions and examples work with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and might not work with other browsers. To connect to an IPv6 global address, add square brackets around the IPv6 address. For example, if the AP global IPv6 address is 2520::230:abff:fe00:2420, type the following address into the IE7 address field: http://
[2520::230:abff:fe00:2420]. To connect to the iPv6 link local address, replace the colons (:) with hyphens (-), add the interface number preceded with an s, then add .ipv6-literal.net. For example, if the AP link local address is fe80::230:abff:fe00:2420, and the Windows interface is defined as %6, type the following address into the IE7 address field: http://fe80--230-abff-fe00-
2420s6.ipv6-literal.net. Using the CLI to View the IP Address The DHCP client on the UAP is enabled by default. If you connect the UAP to a network with a DHCP server, the AP automatically acquires an IP address. To manage the UAP by using the Administrator UI, you must enter the IP address of the access point into a Web browser. If a DHCP server on your network assigns an IP address to the UAP, and you do not know the IP address, use the following steps to view the IP address of the UAP:
1.) Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port. If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm. 2.) Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
) Baud rate: 115200 bps
) Data bits: 8
) Parity: none
) Stop bit: 1
) Flow control: none 3.) Press the return key, and a login prompt should appear. The login name is admin. The default password is admin. After a successful login, the screen shows the
(Access Point Name)# prompt. 4.) At the login prompt, enter get management. Information similar to the following prints to the screen. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 17 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Figure 4 - Command Line Interface (CLI) Connection Configuring the Ethernet Settings The default Ethernet settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks. By default, the DHCP client on the UAP automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually configure the IP address and other network information. The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access point. For information about using the Web interface to configure the Ethernet settings, see Ethernet Settings on page 35. You can also use the CLI to configure the Ethernet settings, which the following section describes. Using the CLI to Configure Ethernet Settings Use the commands shown in the following table to view and set values for the Ethernet (wired) interface. For more information about each setting, see the description for the field in the following table.

Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication On networks that use IEEE 802.1X, port-based network access control, a supplicant (client) cannot gain access to the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must configure 802.1X authentication information that the AP can supply to the authenticator. If your network uses IEEE 802.1X see Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication on page 19 for information about how to configure 802.1X by using the Web interface. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 19 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 2 - Getting Started Using the CLI to Configure 802.1X Authentication Information The following table shows the commands used to configure the 802.1X supplicant information using the CLI.

Verifying the Installation Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features. 1.) Connect the access point to the LAN.
) If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.
) If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point, do the following procedures:
) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.
) Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.
) Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card. 2.) Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients. Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see Wireless Client Requirements on page 12. 3.) Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features. Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and configure performance settings. Note: The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If more than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, there is no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied. By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN. An important next step is to configure security, as described in Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 20 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Configuring Security on the Wireless Access Point You configure secure wireless client access by configuring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you enable. You can configure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By default, only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can configure a unique security mode to control wireless client access. Section 2 - Getting Started Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the following default settings:
) VLAN ID: 1
) Broadcast SSID: Enabled
) SSID: dlink1
) Security: None
) MAC Authentication Type: None
) Redirect Mode: None All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 115 is dlinkx where x is the VAP ID. To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and configure a security option other than None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable. For information about how to configure the security settings on each VAP, see Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 21 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status This section describes the information you can view from the tabs under the Status heading on the Administration Web UI.

Viewing Interface Status To monitor Ethernet LAN (wired) and wireless LAN (WLAN) settings, click the Interfaces tab. This page displays the current settings of the UAP. It displays the Wired Settings and the Wireless Settings. Figure 5 - Viewing Interface Status Wired Settings (Internal Interface) The Internal interface includes the Ethernet MAC Address, Management VLAN ID, IP Address (IPv4 and IPv6), Subnet Mask, and DNS information. To change any of these settings, click the Edit link. After you click Edit, you are redirected to the Ethernet Settings page. For information about configuring these settings, see Configuring the Ethernet Settings on page 18. Wireless Settings The Radio Interface includes the AeroScout Engine Communication status, Radio Mode and Channel. The Wireless Settings section also shows the MAC address (read-only) associated with each radio interface. To change the Radio Mode or Channel settings, click the Edit link. After you click Edit, you are redirected to the May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 22 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Modify Wireless Settings page. For information about configuring these settings, see Wireless Settings on page 37 and Modifying Radio Settings on page 40. Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status Viewing Events The Events page shows real-time system events on the AP such as wireless clients associating with the AP and being authenticated. To view system events, click the Events tab. Figure 6 - Viewing Events From the Events page, you can perform the following tasks:
) View the most recent, high-level events generated by this AP.
) Enable and configure Persistent logging to write system event logs to non-volatile memory so that the events are not erased when the system reboots.
) Set a Severity Level to determine what category of log messages are displayed.
) Set Depth to determine how many log messages are displayed in the Event log.
) Enable a remote log relay host to capture all system events and errors in a Kernel Log. Note: The AP acquires its date and time information using the network time protocol (NTP). This data is reported in UTC format (also known as Greenwich Mean Time). You need to convert the reported time to your local time. Configuring Persistent Logging Options If the system unexpectedly reboots, log messages can be useful to diagnose the cause. However, log messages are erased when the system reboots unless you enable persistent logging. Caution! Enabling persistent logging can wear out the flash (non-volatile) memory and degrade network performance. You should only enable persistent logging to debug a problem. Make sure you disable persistent logging after you finish debugging the problem. To configure persistent logging on the Events page, set the persistence, severity, and depth options as described in the following table, and then click Apply. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 23 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Persistence Severity Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status Description Choose Enabled to save system logs to non-volatile memory so that the logs are not erased when the AP reboots. Choose Disabled to save system logs to volatile memory. Logs in volatile memory are deleted when the system reboots. Specify the severity level of the log messages to write to non-volatile memory. For example, if you specify 2, critical, alert, and emergency logs are written to non-volatile memory. Error messages with a severity level of 3 7 are written to volatile memory.
) 0 emergency
) 1 alert
) 2 critical
) 3 error
) 4 warning
) 5 notice
) 6 info
) 7 debug Depth You can store up to 128 messages in non-volatile memory. Once the number you configure in this field is reached, the oldest log event is overwritten by the new log event. Table 7 - Logging Options Note: To apply your changes, click Apply. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Configuring the Log Relay Host for Kernel Messages The Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log) and kernel messages such as error conditions, like dropping frames. You cannot view kernel log messages directly from the Administration Web UI for an AP. You must first set up a remote server running a syslog process and acting as a syslog log relay host on your network. Then, you can configure the UAP to send syslog messages to the remote server. Remote log server collection for AP syslog messages provides the following features:
) Allows aggregation of syslog messages from multiple APs
) Stores a longer history of messages than kept on a single AP
) Triggers scripted management operations and alerts To use Kernel Log relaying, you must configure a remote server to receive the syslog messages. The procedure to configure a remote log host depends on the type of system you use as the remote host. Note: The syslog process will default to use port 514. We recommend keeping this default port. However; If you choose to reconfigure the log port, make sure that the port number you assign to syslog is not being used by another process. Enabling or Disabling the Log Relay Host on the Events Page To enable and configure Log Relaying on the Events page, set the Log Relay options as described in the following table, and then click Apply. Field Relay Log Relay Host Relay Port May 2016 Description Select Enabled to allow the UAP to send log messages to a remote host. Select Disabled to keep all log messages on the local system. Specify the IP Address or DNS name of the remote log server. Specify the Port number for the syslog process on the Relay Host. The default port is 514. Table 8 - Log Relay Host Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 24 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status Note: To apply your changes, click Apply. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. If you enabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Apply will activate remote logging. The AP will send its kernel messages real-time for display to the remote log server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other storage, depending on how you configured the Log Relay Host. If you disabled the Log Relay Host, clicking Apply will disable remote logging. Viewing Transmit and Receive Statistics The Transmit/Receive page provides some basic information about the current AP and a real-time display of the transmit and receive statistics for the Ethernet interface on the AP and for the VAPs on all supported radio interfaces. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the AP was last started. If you reboot the AP, these figures indicate transmit and receive totals since the reboot. To view transmit and receive statistics for the AP, click the Transmit/Receive page. Figure 7 - Viewing Traffic Statistics Field Interface Status MAC Address VLAN ID Name (SSID) Description The name of the Ethernet or VAP interface. Shows whether the interface is up or down. MAC address for the specified interface. The UAP has a unique MAC address for each interface. Each radio has a different MAC address for each interface on each of its two radios. Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID. You can use VLANs to establish multiple internal and guest networks on the same AP. The VLAN ID is set on the VAP page. (See Configuring Load Balancing on page 60) Wireless network name. Also known as the SSID, this alphanumeric key uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. The SSID is set on the VAP page. (See Configuring Load Balancing on page 60) Transmit and Receive Information Total Packets Total Bytes Indicates total packets sent (in Transmit table) or received (in Received table) by this AP. Indicates total bytes sent (in Transmit table) or received (in Received table) by this AP. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 25 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status Field Total Drop Packets Total Drop Bytes Errors Description Indicates total number of packets sent (in Transmit table) or received (in Received table) by this AP that were dropped. Indicates total number of bytes sent (in Transmit table) or received (in Received table) by this AP that were dropped. Indicates total errors related to sending and receiving data on this AP. Table 9 - Transmit/Receive Viewing Associated Wireless Client Information To view the client stations associated with a particular access point, click the Client Associations tab. Figure 8 - Viewing Client Association Information The associated stations are displayed along with information about packet traffic transmitted and received for each station. The following describes the fields on the Client Associations page. Field Network Station Status Description Shows which VAP the client is associated with. For example, an entry of wlan0vap2 means the client is associated with Radio 1, VAP 2. An entry of wlan0 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on Radio 1. An entry of wlan1 means the client is associated with VAP 0 on Radio 2. Shows the MAC address of the associated wireless client. The Authenticated and Associated Status shows the underlying IEEE 802.11 authentication and association status, which is present no matter which type of security the client uses to connect to the AP. This status does not show IEEE 802.1X authentication or association status. Some points to keep in mind with regard to this field are:
) If the AP security mode is None or Static WEP, the authentication and association status of clients showing on the Client Associations page will be in line with what is expected; that is, if a client shows as authenticated to the AP, it will be able to transmit and receive data. (This is because Static WEP uses only IEEE 802.11 authentication.)
) If the AP uses IEEE 802.1X or WPA security, however, it is possible for a client association to show on this page as authenticated (via the IEEE 802.11 security) but actually not be authenticated to the AP via the second layer of security. From Station To Station Shows the number of packets and bytes received from the wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that were dropped after being received. Shows the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the AP to the wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that were dropped upon transmission. Table 10 - Associated Clients Viewing TSPEC Client Associations The TSPEC Client Association Status and Statistics page provides some basic information about the client associations status and a real-time display of the transmit and receive statistics for the TSPEC clients. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the client association started. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 26 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 3 - Viewing Access Point Status A TSPEC is a traffic specification that is sent from a QoS-capable wireless client to an AP requesting a certain amount of network access for the traffic stream (TS) it represents. A traffic stream is a collection of data packets identified by the wireless client as belonging to a particular user priority. An example of a voice traffic stream is a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED telephone handset that marks its codec-generated data packets as voice priority traffic. An example of a video traffic stream is a video player application on a wireless laptop that prioritizes a video conference feed from a corporate server. To view TSPEC client association statistics, click the TSPEC Client Associations tab. The following table describes the information provided on the TSPEC Client Association Status and Statistics page.

Also shows the number of packets:
) in excess of an admitted TSPEC.
) for which no TSPEC has been established when admission is required by the AP. Shows the number of packets and bytes transmitted from the AP to the wireless client and the number of packets and bytes that were dropped upon transmission. Also shows the number of packets:
) in excess of an admitted TSPEC.
) for which no TSPEC has been established when admission is required by the AP. Table 11 - TSPEC Client Associations Link Integrity Monitoring The UAP provides link integrity monitoring to continually verify its connection to each associated client. To do this, the AP sends data packets to clients every few seconds when no other traffic is passing. This allows the AP to detect when a client goes out of range, even during periods when no normal traffic is exchanged. The client connection drops off the list within 300 seconds if these data packets are not acknowledged, even if no disassociation message is received. Viewing Rogue AP Detection The status page to view Rogue AP Detection information provides real-time statistics for all APs within range of the AP on which you are viewing the Administration Web pages. When AP detection is enabled, the radio will periodically switch from its operating channel to scan other channels within the same band. Click Refresh to update the screen and display the most current information. The Rogue AP Detection page contains the following two lists:
) Detected Rogue AP List Lists all APs within range of the AP that have not been acknowledged as known APs.
) Known AP List Lists all APs within range of the AP that have been acknowledged as known APs either by clicking the Grant button associated with an AP in the Detected Rogue AP List or by appearing in an imported AP list. To view information about other access points on the wireless network, click the Rogue AP Detection tab. Figure 10 - Viewing Rogue and Known Access Points You must enable the AP detection on a radio in order to collect information about other APs within range. The following table describes the information provided on neighboring access points.

Ethernet Settings The default wired interface settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks. By default, the DHCP client on the UAP automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually configure the IP address and other network information. The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the AP. To configure the LAN settings, click the Ethernet Settings tab. The following table describes the fields to view or configure on the Ethernet Settings page. Figure 16 - Modify Ethernet (Wired) settings May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 35 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Field Hostname Description Enter a hostname for the AP. The hostname appears in the CLI prompt.
) The hostname has the following requirements:
) The length must be between 1 63 characters.
) Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted.
) The first character must be a letter (a z or A Z), and the last character cannot be a hyphen. MAC Address Management VLAN ID Untagged VLAN Untagged VLAN ID Connection Type Static IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway DNS Nameservers IPv6 Admin Mode IPv6 Auto Config Admin Mode Shows the MAC address for the LAN interface for the Ethernet port on this AP. This is a read-only field that you cannot change. The management VLAN is the VLAN associated with the IP address you use to access the AP. The default management VLAN ID is 1. Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the management VLAN ID. If you disable the untagged VLAN, all traffic is tagged with a VLAN ID. By default all traffic on the UAP uses VLAN 1, which is the default untagged VLAN. This means that all traffic is untagged until you disable the untagged VLAN, change the untagged traffic VLAN ID, or change the VLAN ID for a VAP or client using RADIUS. Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the untagged VLAN ID. Traffic on the VLAN that you specify in this field will not be tagged with a VLAN ID. If you select DHCP, the UAP acquires its IP address, subnet mask, DNS, and gateway information from a DHCP server. If you select Static IP, you must enter information in the Static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields. Enter the static IP address in the text boxes. This field is disabled if you use DHCP as the connection type. Enter the Subnet Mask in the text boxes. Enter the Default Gateway in the text boxes. Select the mode for the DNS. In Dynamic mode, the IP addresses for the DNS servers are assigned automatically via DHCP. This option is only available if you specified DHCP for the Connection Type. In Manual mode, you must assign static IP addresses to resolve domain names. Enable or disable IPv6 management access to the AP Enable or disable IPv6 auto address configuration on the AP. When IPv6 Auto Config Mode is enabled, automatic IPv6 address configuration and gateway configuration is allowed by processing the Router Advertisements received on the LAN port. The AP can have multiple auto configured IPv6 addresses. Static IPv6 Address Enter a static IPv6 address. The AP can have a static IPv6 address even if addresses have already been configured automatically. Enter the static IPv6 prefix length, which is an integer in the range of 0 128.

Shows the IPv6 Link Local address, which is the IPv6 address used by the local physical link. The link local address is not configurable and is assigned by using the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery process. Enter the default IPv6 gateway. Table 17 - Ethernet Settings Note: After you configure the wired settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 36 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Wireless Settings Wireless settings describe aspects of the local area network (LAN) related specifically to the radio device in the access point (802.11 Mode and Channel) and to the network interface to the access point (MAC address for access point and Wireless Network name, also known as SSID). To configure the wireless interface, click the Manage > Wireless Settings tab. Figure 17 - Modify Wireless Settings The following table describes the fields and configuration options available on the Wireless Settings page. Field TSPEC Violation Interval Radio Interface MAC Address Description Specify the time interval (in seconds) for the AP to report (through the system log and SNMP traps) associated clients that do not adhere to mandatory admission control procedures. Specify whether you want the radio interface on or off. Indicates the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for the interface. Dual-radio APs have a unique MAC address for each radio. A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer. You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided here for informational purposes as a unique identifier for an interface. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 37 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Mode Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard the radio uses. Note: The modes available depend on the country code setting and the radio selected. Select one of the following modes for radio 1:
) IEEE 802.11a is a PHY standard that specifies operating in the 5 GHz U-NII band using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 6 to 54 Mbps.
) IEEE 802.11a/n operates in the 5 GHz ISM band and includes support for both 802.11a and 802.11n devices. IEEE 802.11n is an extension of the 802.11 standard that includes multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. IEEE 802.11n supports data ranges of up to 248 Mbps and nearly twice the indoor range of 802.11 b, 802.11g, and 802.11a.
) 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 5 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11a devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11a). Select one of the following modes for radio 2:
) IEEE 802.11b/g operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. IEEE 802.11b is an enhancement of the initial 802.11 PHY to include 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps data rates. It uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) as well as complementary code keying (CCK) to provide the higher data rates. It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is a higher speed extension (up to 54 Mbps) to the 802.11b PHY. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 54 Mbps.
) IEEE 802.11b/g/n operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and includes support for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices.
) 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11b/g devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11b/g). Channel Station Isolation Select the Channel. The range of available channels is determined by the mode of the radio interface and the country code setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the AP scans available channels and selects a channel where no traffic is detected. The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, depending on how the spectrum is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R). When automatic channel assignment is enabled on the Channel Management page for Clustering, the channel policy for the radio is automatically set to static mode, and the Auto option is not available for the Channel field. This allows the automatic channel feature to set the channels for the radios in the cluster. To enable Station Isolation, select the check box directly beside it. When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the AP. When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients on the same radio and VAP. The AP still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP, but not among wireless clients associated with the same VAP. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 38 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field AeroScout Engine Protocol Support Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description AeroScout Engine support provides location-based services for wireless networks. Specify whether to enable support for the AeroScout protocol. Options are Enabled or Disabled. The default is Disabled. When enabled, Aeroscout devices are recognized and data is sent to an Aeroscout Engine (AE) for analysis. The AE determines the geographical location of 802.11 capable devices, such as STAs, APs, and AeroScouts line of 802.11 enabled RFID devices, or tags. The AE communicates with APs that support the AE protocol in order to collect information about the RF devices detected by the APs. Using the AE protocol, D-Link supports direct communication between AE and the APs. When operating in managed mode, the AE is configured with the IP address of the managed access points from which it collects information. The Wireless Switch cannot communicate with the AE. For more information about the AeroScout protocol, see Enabling AeroScout Engine Support on page 39. Note: Only AeroScout tag hardware of types T2 and T3 are explicitly supported. Other tag models are also supported only if their implementation of the AeroScout protocol conforms to the AeroScout Engine - Access Point Interface Specification, version 2.1. Note: AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11 b/g mode. Therefore, network administrators who use the AeroScout tags must configure at least one radio on APs that are expected to detect tags in either 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n mode. The radios configured in 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11 mode or any of the 5GHz modes cannot detect AeroScout tags. Note: The AE protocol allows access points to mark detected APs as rogue devices. The D-Link APs do not support this feature and never report detected APs as rogues. Table 18 - Wireless Settings Note: After you configure the wireless settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Using the 802.11h Wireless Mode For 802.11a radios, if the regulatory domain requires radar detection on the channel, the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) features of 802.11h are automatically activated. There are a number of key points about the IEEE 802.11h standard:
) 802.11h only works for the 802.11a band. It is not required for 802.11b or 802.11g.
) If you are operating in an 802.11h enabled domain, the AP attempts to use the channel you assign. If the channel has been blocked by a previous radar detection, or if the AP detects a radar on the channel, then the AP automatically selects a different channel.
) When 802.11h is enabled, the AP will not be operational in the 5GHz band for at least 60 seconds due to radar scanning.
) Setting up WDS links may be difficult when 802.11h is operational. This is because the operating channels of the two APs on the WDS link may keep changing depending on channel usage and radar interference. WDS will only work if both the APs operate on the same channel. For more information on WDS, see Configuring Load Balancing on page 60. Enabling AeroScout Engine Support The AeroScout Engine (AE) is a software platform produced by AeroScout Inc. for location-based services. The AE can determine the physical location of 802.11 capable AeroScout devices. The AE communicates with APs that have the AE protocol enabled in order to collect information about the RF devices detected by the APs. The DWS-4000 Series switch supports only direct communication between the AE and the APs. When operating in managed mode, the AE is configured with the IP address of the managed access points from which it collects May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 39 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide information. The DWS-4000 Series switch does not communicate with the AE. AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11b/g mode. Therefore, network administrators who use the AeroScout tags must configure at least one radio on APs that are expected to detect tags in either 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n mode. The radios configured in 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode cannot detect AeroScout tags. Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Note: The following notes apply to AeroScout product and protocol support:
) D-Link does not sell AeroScout products. Contact AeroScout for AeroScout hardware,
) The AE protocol does not support any authentication or encryption between the AE server software or deployment information. and the access point.
) The AE protocol requires radios to operate in promiscuous mode. This means that the AP receives and processes all packets detected by the radios, as opposed to processing only packets destined to the APs BSSID. This can affect AP throughput. Modifying Radio Settings Radio settings directly control the behavior of the radio devices in the AP and its interaction with the physical medium;
that is, how and what type of electromagnetic waves the AP emits. To specify radio settings, click the Radio tab in the Manage section. Different settings display depending on the mode you select. All settings are described in the table below. The following table describes the fields and configuration options for the Radio Settings page. Figure 18 - Modify Radio Settings Field Radio Status (On/Off) May 2016 Description Select Radio 1or Radio 2 to specify which radio to configure. The rest of the settings on this page apply to the radio you select in this field. Be sure to configure settings for both radios. Radio 1 operates in the 5 GHz band (802.11a/n), and Radio 2 operates in the 2.4 GHz band
(802.11b/g/n). Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off. If you turn off a radio, the AP sends disassociation frames to all the wireless clients it is currently supporting so that the radio can be gracefully shutdown and the clients can start the association process with other available APs. Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 40 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Mode Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard the radio uses. Note: The modes available depend on the country code setting and the radio selected. Select one of the following modes for radio 1:
) IEEE 802.11a is a PHY standard that specifies operating in the 5 GHz U-NII band using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 6 to 54 Mbps.

IEEE 802.11n supports data ranges of up to 248 Mbps and nearly twice the indoor range of 802.11 b, 802.11g, and 802.11a.
) 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 5 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11a devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11a). Select one of the following modes for radio 2:

) 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11b/g devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be compatible with legacy devices (802.11b/g). Channel Channel Bandwidth
(802.11n modes only) Primary Channel
(802.11n modes only) Select the Channel. The range of available channels is determined by the mode of the radio interface and the country code setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the AP scans available channels and selects a channel where no traffic is detected. The channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, depending on how the spectrum is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R). When automatic channel assignment is enabled on the Channel Management page for Clustering, the channel policy for the radio is automatically set to static mode, and the Auto option is not available for the Channel field. This allows the automatic channel feature to set the channels for the radios in the cluster. The 802.11n specification allows a 40 MHz wide channel in addition to the legacy 20 MHz channel available with other modes. The 40 MHz channel enables higher data rates but leaves fewer channels available for use by other 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices. Set the field to 20 MHz to restrict the use of the channel bandwidth to a 20 MHz channel. This setting can be changed only when the channel bandwidth is set to 40 MHz. A 40 MHz channel can be considered to consist of two 20 MHz channels that are contiguous in the frequency domain. These two 20 MHz channels are often referred to as the Primary and Secondary channels. The Primary Channel is used for 802.11n clients that support only a 20 MHz channel bandwidth and for legacy clients. Select one of the following options:
) Lower Set the Primary Channel as the lower 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band.
) Upper Set the Primary Channel as the upper 20 MHz channel in the 40 MHz band. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 41 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Short Guard Interval Supported STBC Mode Protection Beacon Interval DTIM Period Fragmentation Threshold Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description This field is available only if the selected radio mode includes 802.11n. The guard interval is the dead time, in nanoseconds, between OFDM symbols. The guard interval prevents Inter-Symbol and Inter-Carrier Interference (ISI, ICI). The 802.11n mode allows for a reduction in this guard interval from the a and g definition of 800 nanoseconds to 400 nanoseconds. Reducing the guard interval can yield a 10% improvement in data throughput. Select one of the following options:
) Yes The AP transmits data using a 400ns guard Interval when communicating with clients that also support the short guard interval.
) No The AP transmits data using an 800ns guard interval. This field is available only if the selected radio mode includes 802.11n. Space Time Block Coding (STBC) is an 802.11n technique intended to improve the reliability of data transmissions. The data stream is transmitted on multiple antennas so the receiving system has a better chance of detecting at least one of the data streams. Select one of the following options:
) On The AP transmits the same data stream on multiple antennas at the same time.
) Off The AP does not transmits the same data on multiple antennas. The protection feature contains rules to guarantee that 802.11n transmissions do not cause interference with legacy stations or APs. By default, these protection mechanisms are enabled (Auto). With protection enabled, protection mechanisms will be invoked if legacy devices are within range of the AP. This causes more overhead on every transmission, which will impact performance. However, there is no impact on performance if there are no legacy devices within range of the AP. You can disable (Off) these protection mechanisms; however, when 802.11n protection is off, legacy clients or APs within range can be affected by 802.11n transmissions. The 802.11 protection feature is also available when the mode is 802.11b/g. When protection is enabled in this mode, it protects 802.11b clients and APs from 802.11g transmissions. Note: This setting does not affect the ability of the client to associate with the AP. Beacon frames are transmitted by an AP at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second). Enter a value from 20 to 2000 milliseconds. Specify a DTIM period from 1 to 255 beacons. The Delivery Traffic Information Map (DTIM) message is an element included in some Beacon frames. It indicates which client stations, currently sleeping in low-power mode, have data buffered on the AP awaiting pick-up. The DTIM period you specify indicates how often the clients served by this AP should check for buffered data still on the AP awaiting pickup. The measurement is in beacons. For example, if you set this field to 1, clients will check for buffered data on the AP at every beacon. If you set this field to 10, clients will check on every 10th beacon. Specify a number between 256 and 2,346 to set the frame size threshold in bytes. The fragmentation threshold is a way of limiting the size of packets (frames) transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the fragmentation threshold you set, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet is sent as multiple 802.11 frames. If the packet being transmitted is equal to or less than the threshold, fragmentation is not used. Setting the threshold to the largest value (2,346 bytes) effectively disables fragmentation. Fragmentation plays no role when Aggregation is enabled. Fragmentation involves more overhead both because of the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames it requires, and because it increases message traffic on the network. However, fragmentation can help improve network performance and reliability if properly configured. Sending smaller frames (by using lower fragmentation threshold) might help with some interference problems; for example, with microwave ovens. By default, fragmentation is off. We recommend not using fragmentation unless you suspect radio interference. The additional headers applied to each fragment increase the overhead on the network and can greatly reduce throughput. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 42 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Maximum Stations Field RTS Threshold Description Specify a Request to Send (RTS) Threshold value between 0 and 2347. The RTS threshold indicates the number of octets in an MPDU, below which an RTS/CTS handshake is not performed. Changing the RTS threshold can help control traffic flow through the AP, especially one with a lot of clients. If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets will be sent more frequently. This will consume more bandwidth and reduce the throughput of the packet. On the other hand, sending more RTS packets can help the network recover from interference or collisions which might occur on a busy network, or on a network experiencing electromagnetic interference. Specify the maximum number of stations allowed to access this AP at any one time. You can enter a value between 0 and 200. Enter a percentage value for the transmit power level for this AP. The default value, which is 100%, can be more cost-efficient than a lower percentage since it gives the AP a maximum broadcast range and reduces the number of APs needed. To increase capacity of the network, place APs closer together and reduce the value of the transmit power. This helps reduce overlap and interference among APs. A lower transmit power setting can also keep your network more secure because weaker wireless signals are less likely to propagate outside of the physical location of your network. Fixed Multicast Rate Select the multicast traffic transmission rate you want the AP to support. Legacy Rate Sets Check the transmission rate sets you want the AP to support and the basic rate sets you want the AP to advertise:
Transmit Power
) Rates are expressed in megabits per second.
) Supported Rate Sets indicate rates that the AP supports. You can check multiple rates
(click a check box to select or de-select a rate). The AP will automatically choose the most efficient rate based on factors like error rates and distance of client stations from the AP.
) Basic Rate Sets indicate rates that the AP will advertise to the network for the purposes of setting up communication with other APs and client stations on the network. It is generally more efficient to have an AP broadcast a subset of its supported rate sets. MCS (Data Rate) Settings (802.11n modes only) Broadcast/Multicast Rate Limiting TSPEC Mode TSPEC Voice ACM Mode This field shows the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index values supported by the radio. Each index can be enabled and disabled independently. Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted across the network. By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting option is disabled. Until you enable Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting, the following fields will be disabled:
) Rate Limit - Enter the rate limit you want to set for multicast and broadcast traffic. The limit should be greater than 1, but less than 50 packets per second. Any traffic that falls below this rate limit will always conform and be transmitted to the appropriate destination. The default and maximum rate limit setting is 50 packets per second.
) Rate Limit Burst - Setting a rate limit burst determines how much traffic bursts can be before all traffic exceeds the rate limit. This burst limit allows intermittent bursts of traffic on a network above the set rate limit. The default and maximum rate limit burst setting is 75 packets per second. Regulates the overall TSPEC mode on the AP. The options are:
) On The AP handles TSPEC requests according to the TSPEC settings you configure on the Radio page. Use this setting if the AP handles traffic from QoS-
capable devices, such as a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED phone.
) Off The AP ignores TSPEC requests from client stations. Use this setting if you do not want to use TSPEC to give QoS-capable devices priority for time-sensitive traffic. Regulates mandatory admission control (ACM) for the voice access category. The options are:
) On A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before sending or receiving a voice traffic stream. The AP responds with the result of the request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted.
) Off A station can send and receive voice priority traffic without requiring an admitted TSPEC; the AP ignores voice TSPEC requests from client stations. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 43 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description Specify an upper limit on the amount of traffic the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless medium using a voice AC to gain access. Regulates mandatory admission control for the video access category. The options are:
) On A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before sending or receiving a video traffic stream. The AP responds with the result of the request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted.
) Off A station can send and receive video priority traffic without requiring an admitted TSPEC; the AP ignores video TSPEC requests from client stations. Specify an upper limit on the amount of traffic the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless medium using a video AC to gain access. Specify the amount of time for an AP to detect an downlink TS as idle before deleting it. Specify the amount of time for an AP to detect an uplink TS as idle before deleting it. Select Enable to allow intermixing of legacy traffic on queues operating as ACM.

The settings on the page apply only to the radio that you choose from the Radio drop-down list. After you configure settings for one of the radios, click Apply and then select and configure the other radio. Be sure to click Apply to apply the second set of configuration settings for the other radio. Configuring Radio and VAP Scheduler The Radio and VAP scheduler is a standalone DWL-x600AP feature. To configure the Radio and VAP scheduler, select the Scheduler tab in the Manage section. The Radio and VAP Scheduler allows you to configure a rule with a specific time interval for VAPs or radios to be operational, thereby automating the enabling or disabling of the VAPs and Radios. One of the ways you can use this feature is to schedule radios to operate only during the office working hours in order to achieve security and reduce power consumption. You can also use the Scheduler to allow access to VAPs for wireless clients only during specific times of day. Each rule specifies the start time, end time and day (or days) of the week the radio or VAP can be operational. The rules are periodic in nature and are repeated every week. A valid rule must contain all of the following parameters:
) Days of the Week.
) Start Time (hour and minutes).
) End Time (hour and minutes). Only valid rules are added to the profile. Up to 16 rules are grouped together to form a scheduling profile. Any two periodic rules time entries belonging to the same profile must not overlap. The time granularity for the schedules is one minute. The DWL-x600AP supports up to 16 profiles. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 44 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Figure 19 - Scheduler Configuration Field Global Scheduler Mode Scheduler Operational Status Status Reason Description A global switch to enable or disable the scheduler feature. The default is Disable. The operational status of the Scheduler. The range is Up or Down. The default is Down. Provides additional information about the status. The reason can be one or more of the following:
) IsActive Operational status is up.
) ConfigDown Operational status is down because global configuration is disabled.
) TimeNotSet Operational status is down because the AP time has not been set, either manually or by specifying an NTP server to use.
) ManagedMode Operational status is down because the AP is in managed mode. Scheduler Profile Rule Configuration Select Profile Set Schedule Start Time End Time The Scheduler profile defines the list of profiles names that can be associated to the VAP or Radio configuration. Rules are associated with a named scheduler profile. You can define up to 16 scheduler profile names. By default, no profiles are created. The profile name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Click Add to add the profile name. Each scheduler profile may have up to 16 periodic rules. The list of parameters for each periodic rule are described below. Select the profile name from the menu. The day of the week. Range is: Daily, Weekday (Monday to Friday), Weekend (Saturday and Sunday), Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The default is Daily.

Figure 20 - Scheduler Configuration (Modify Rule) Note: After making any modifications, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Scheduler Association Settings For a Scheduler profile to take effect, you must associate it with at least one radio or VAP interface. To associate the Scheduler profiles, select the Scheduler Association tab in the Manage section. By default, there are no Scheduler profiles created, so no profile is associated to any radio or VAP. The Scheduler profile needs to be explicitly associated to a radio or VAP configuration. Only one Scheduler profile can be associated to any radio or VAP configuration;
however, a single profile can be associated to multiple radios or VAPs. If the Scheduler profile associated with a VAP or radio is deleted, then the associated profile to the VAP or radio is removed implicitly. If the radio is operationally disabled, then all the VAPs associated to that radio are also operationally disabled irrespective of the VAP configuration.

Virtual Access Point Settings To change VAP 0 or to enable and configure additional VAPs, select the VAP tab in the Manage section. VAPs segment the wireless LAN into multiple broadcast domains that are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. VAPs simulate multiple APs in one physical AP. Each radio supports up to 16 VAPs. For each VAP, you can customize the security mode to control wireless client access. Each VAP can also have a unique SSID. Multiple SSIDs make a single AP look like two or more APs to other systems on the network. By configuring VAPs, you can maintain better control over broadcast and multicast traffic, which affects network performance. You can configure each VAP to use a different VLAN, or you can configure multiple VAPs to use the same VLAN, whether the VLAN is on the same radio or on a different radio. VAP0, which is always enabled on both radios, is assigned to the default VLAN 1. The AP adds VLAN ID tags to wireless client traffic based on the VLAN ID you configure on the VAP page or by using the RADIUS server assignment. If you use an external RADIUS server, you can configure multiple VLANs on each VAP. The external RADIUS server assigns wireless clients to the VLAN when the clients associate and authenticate. You can configure up to four global IPv4 or IPv6 RADIUS servers. One of the servers always acts as a primary while the others act as backup servers. The network type (IPv4 or IPv6) and accounting mode are common across all configured RADIUS servers. You can configure each VAP to use the global RADIUS server settings, which is the default, or you can configure a per-VAP RADIUS server set. You can also configure separate RADIUS server settings for each VAP. For example, you can configure one VAP to use an IPv6 RADIUS server while other VAPs use the global IPv4 RADIUS server settings you configure. If wireless clients use a security mode that does not communicate with the RADIUS server, or if the RADIUS server does not provide the VLAN information, you can assign a VLAN ID to each VAP. The AP assigns the VLAN to all wireless clients that connect to the AP through that VAP. Note: Before you configure VLANs on the AP, be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server the AP uses can support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation. To set up multiple VAPs, click Manage > VAP. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 47 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point The following table describes the fields and configuration options on the VAP page. Figure 22 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings Field RADIUS IP Address Type RADIUS IP Address RADIUS IPv6 Address RADIUS IP or IPv6 Address 13 RADIUS Key RADIUS Key 13 Enable RADIUS Accounting Enable RADIUS FailThrough May 2016 Description Specify the IP version that the RADIUS server uses. You can toggle between the address types to configure IPv4 and IPv6 global RADIUS address settings, but the AP contacts only the RADIUS server or servers for the address type you select in this field. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the primary global RADIUS server. By default, each VAP uses the global RADIUS settings that you define for the AP at the top of the VAP page. When the first wireless client tries to authenticate with the AP, the AP sends an authentication request to the primary server. If the primary server responds to the authentication request, the AP continues to use this RADIUS server as the primary server, and authentication requests are sent to the address you specify. If the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected in the previous field, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server that all VAPs use by default, for example 192.168.10.23. If the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected, enter the IPv6 address of the primary global RADIUS server, for example 2001:0db8:1234::abcd. Enter up to three IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers. The field label is RADIUS IP Address when the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected and RADIUS IPv6 Address when the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected. If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup server is tried in sequence. The IPv4 or IPv6 address must be valid in order for the AP to attempt to contact the server. Enter the RADIUS key in the text box. The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must configure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be displayed as * characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type. Enter the RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS servers. The server at RADIUS IP Address-1 uses RADIUS Key-1, RADIUS IP Address-2 uses RADIUS Key-2, and so on. Select this option to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on. If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all backup servers. Select this option to allow the secondary RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients if the authentication with the primary RADIUS server is unsuccessful, or if the primary RADIUS server is unavailable. Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 48 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Radio VAP Enabled VLAN ID SSID Broadcast SSID Security MAC Authentication Type Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description Select the radio to configure. VAPs are configured independently on each radio. You can configure up to 16 VAPs for each radio. VAP0 is the physical radio interface, so to disable VAP0, you must disable the radio. You can enable or disable a configured network.
) To enable the specified network, select the Enabled option beside the appropriate VAP.
) To disable the specified network, clear the Enabled option beside the appropriate VAP. If you disable the specified network, you will lose the VLAN ID you entered. When a wireless client connects to the AP by using this VAP, the AP tags all traffic from the wireless client with the VLAN ID you enter in this field unless you enter the untagged VLAN ID or use a RADIUS server to assign a wireless client to a VLAN. The range for the VLAN ID is 1 4094. If you use RADIUS-based authentication for clients, you can optionally add the following attributes to the appropriate file in the RADIUS or AAA server to configure a VLAN for the client:
) Tunnel-Type
) Tunnel-Medium-Type
) Tunnel-Private-Group-ID The RADIUS-assigned VLAN ID overrides the VLAN ID you configure on the VAP page. You configure the untagged and management VLAN IDs on the Ethernet Settings page. For more information, see Ethernet Settings on page 35. Enter a name for the wireless network. The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters. You can use the same SSID for multiple VAPs, or you can choose a unique SSID for each VAP. Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you are administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the AP. You will need to reconnect to the new SSID after you save this new setting. Specify whether to allow the AP to broadcast the Service Set Identifier (SSID) in its beacon frames. The Broadcast SSID parameter is enabled by default. When the VAP does not broadcast its SSID, the network name is not displayed in the list of available networks on a client station. Instead, the client must have the exact network name configured in the supplicant before it is able to connect.
) To enable the SSID broadcast, select the Broadcast SSID check box.
) To prohibit the SSID broadcast, clear the Broadcast SSID check box. Note: Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufficient to prevent clients from accidentally connecting to your network, but it will not prevent even the simplest of attempts by a hacker to connect or monitor unencrypted traffic. Suppressing the SSID broadcast offers a very minimal level of protection on an otherwise exposed network (such as a guest network) where the priority is making it easy for clients to get a connection and where no sensitive information is available. Select one of the following Security modes for this VAP:
) None
) Static WEP
) WPA Personal
) IEEE 802.1X
) WPA Enterprise If you select a security mode other than None, additional fields appear. These fields are explained below. Note: The Security mode you set here is specifically for this VAP. You can configure a global list of MAC addresses that are allowed or denied access to the network. The drop-down menu for this feature allows you to select the type of MAC Authentication to use:
) Disabled: Do not use MAC Authentication.
) Local: Use the MAC Authentication list that you configure on the MAC Authentication page.
) RADIUS: Use the MAC Authentication list on the external RADIUS server. For more information about MAC Authentication, see Controlling Access by MAC Authentication on page 58. May 2016 Table 22 - Virtual Access Point Settings Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 49 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Note: After you configure the VAP settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. None (Plain-text) If you select None as your security mode, no further options are configurable on the AP. This mode means that any data transferred to and from the UAP is not encrypted. This security mode can be useful during initial network configuration or for problem solving, but it is not recommended for regular use on the Internal network because it is not secure. Static WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless stations and APs on the network are configured with a static 64-bit (40-bit secret key + 24-bit initialization vector (IV)) or 128-bit
(104-bit secret key + 24-bit IV) Shared Key for data encryption. Static WEP is not the most secure mode available, but it offers more protection than setting the security mode to None
(Plain-text) as it does prevent an outsider from easily sniffing out unencrypted wireless traffic. WEP encrypts data moving across the wireless network based on a static key. (The encryption algorithm is a stream cipher called RC4.) Figure 23 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings (Static WEP) Field Transfer Key Index Key Length Key Type Description Select a key index from the drop-down menu. Key indexes 1 through 4 are available. The default is 1. The Transfer Key Index indicates which WEP key the AP will use to encrypt the data it transmits. Specify the length of the key by clicking one of the radio buttons:
) 64 bits
) 128 bits Select the key type by clicking one of the radio buttons:
) ASCII
) Hex May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 50 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field WEP Keys Authentication Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Description You can specify up to four WEP keys. In each text box, enter a string of characters for each key. The keys you enter depend on the key type selected:
) ASCII Includes upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.
) Hex Includes digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. Use the same number of characters for each key as specified in the Characters Required field. These are the RC4 WEP keys shared with the stations using the AP. Each client station must be configured to use one of these same WEP keys in the same slot as specified here on the AP. Characters Required: The number of characters you enter into the WEP Key fields is determined by the Key length and Key type you select. For example, if you use 128-bit ASCII keys, you must enter 26 characters in the WEP key. The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you set Key Length and Key Type. The authentication algorithm defines the method used to determine whether a client station is allowed to associate with an AP when static WEP is the security mode. Specify the authentication algorithm you want to use by choosing one of the following options:
) Open System authentication allows any client station to associate with the AP whether that client station has the correct WEP key or not. This algorithm is also used in plaintext, IEEE 802.1X, and WPA modes. When the authentication algorithm is set to Open System, any client can associate with the AP. Note: Just because a client station is allowed to associate does not ensure it can exchange traffic with an AP. A station must have the correct WEP key to be able to successfully access and decrypt data from an AP, and to transmit readable data to the AP.
) Shared Key authentication requires the client station to have the correct WEP key in order to associate with the AP. When the authentication algorithm is set to Shared Key, a station with an incorrect WEP key will not be able to associate with the AP.
) Both Open System and Shared Key. When you select both authentication algorithms:
) Client stations configured to use WEP in shared key mode must have a valid WEP key in order to associate with the AP.
) Client stations configured to use WEP as an open system (shared key mode not enabled) will be able to associate with the AP even if they do not have the correct WEP key. Static WEP Rules Table 23 - Static WEP If you use Static WEP, the following rules apply:
) All client stations must have the Wireless LAN (WLAN) security set to WEP, and all clients must have one of the WEP keys specified on the AP in order to de-code AP-to-station data transmissions.
) The AP must have all keys used by clients for station-to-AP transmit so that it can de-code the station transmissions.
) The same key must occupy the same slot on all nodes (AP and clients). For example if the AP defines abc123
) Client stations can use different keys to transmit data to the access point. (Or they can all use the same key, but key as WEP key 3, then the client stations must define that same string as WEP key 3. this is less secure because it means one station can decrypt the data being sent by another.)
) On some wireless client software, you can configure multiple WEP keys and define a client station transfer key index, and then set the stations to encrypt the data they transmit using different keys. This ensures that neighboring APs cannot decode each others transmissions.
) You cannot mix 64-bit and 128-bit WEP keys between the access point and its client stations. IEEE 802.1X IEEE 802.1X is the standard defining port-based authentication and infrastructure for doing key management. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) messages sent over an IEEE 802.11 wireless network using a protocol called EAP Encapsulation Over LANs (EAPOL). IEEE 802.1X provides dynamically-generated keys that are periodically refreshed. An RC4 stream cipher is used to encrypt the frame body and cyclic redundancy checking
(CRC) of each 802.11 frame. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 51 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point This mode requires the use of an external RADIUS server to authenticate users. The AP requires a RADIUS server capable of EAP, such as the Microsoft Internet Authentication Server. To work with Windows clients, the authentication server must support Protected EAP (PEAP) and MSCHAP V2. You can use any of a variety of authentication methods that the IEEE 802.1X mode supports, including certificates, Kerberos, and public key authentication. You must configure the client stations to use the same authentication method the AP uses. Figure 24 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings (IEEE802.1X) Field Use Global RADIUS Server Settings RADIUS IP Address Type RADIUS IP Address RADIUS IPv6 Address RADIUS IP or IPv6 Address 13 RADIUS Key RADIUS Key 1 3 Enable RADIUS Accounting Description By default each VAP uses the global RADIUS settings that you define for the AP at the top of the VAP page. However, you can configure each VAP to use a different set of RADIUS servers. To use the global RADIUS server settings, make sure the check box is selected. To use a separate RADIUS server for the VAP, clear the check box and enter the RADIUS server IP address and key in the following fields. Specify the IP version that the RADIUS server uses. You can toggle between the address types to configure IPv4 and IPv6 global RADIUS address settings, but the AP contacts only the RADIUS server or servers for the address type you select in this field. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the primary RADIUS server for this VAP. If the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected in the previous field, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server that all VAPs use by default, for example 192.168.10.23. If the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected, enter the IPv6 address of the primary global RADIUS server, for example 2001:0db8:1234::abcd. Enter up to three IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers for this VAP. The field label is RADIUS IP Address when the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected and RADIUS IPv6 Address when the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected. If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup server is tried in sequence. Enter the RADIUS key in the text box. The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must configure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be displayed as * characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type. Enter the RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS servers.

WPA Enterprise WPA Enterprise with RADIUS is an implementation of the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE 802.11i standard, which includes CCMP
(AES), and TKIP mechanisms. The Enterprise mode requires the use of a RADIUS server to authenticate users. This security mode is backwards-compatible with wireless clients that support the original WPA. Figure 26 - Modify Virtual Access Point Settings (WPA Enterprise) Field WPA Versions Enable pre-

) WPA and WPA2. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support WPA2 and others which support only the original WPA, select both WPA and WPA2. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client stations associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients who support it. This WPA configuration allows more interoperability, at the expense of some security. If for WPA Versions you select only WPA2 or both WPA and WPA2, you can enable pre-
authentication for WPA2 clients. Click Enable pre-authentication if you want WPA2 wireless clients to send pre-
authentication packet. The pre-authentication information will be relayed from the AP the client is currently using to the target AP. Enabling this feature can help speed up authentication for roaming clients who connect to multiple APs. This option does not apply if you selected WPA for WPA Versions because the original WPA does not support this feature.

) A valid TKIP RADIUS IP address and RADIUS Key
) A valid CCMP (AES) IP address and RADIUS Key By default each VAP uses the global RADIUS settings that you define for the AP at the top of the VAP page. However, you can configure each VAP to use a different set of RADIUS servers. To use the global RADIUS server settings, make sure the check box is selected. To use a separate RADIUS server for the VAP, clear the check box and enter the RADIUS server IP address and key in the following fields. Specify the IP version that the RADIUS server uses. You can toggle between the address types to configure IPv4 and IPv6 global RADIUS address settings, but the AP contacts only the RADIUS server or servers for the address type you select in this field. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the primary RADIUS server for this VAP. If the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected in the previous field, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server that all VAPs use by default, for example 192.168.10.23. If the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected, enter the IPv6 address of the primary global RADIUS server, for example 2001:0db8:1234::abcd. Enter up to three IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers for this VAP. The field label is RADIUS IP Address when the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected and RADIUS IPv6 Address when the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected. If authentication fails with the primary server, each configured backup server is tried in sequence. Enter the RADIUS key in the text box. The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to 63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must configure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be displayed as * characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type. Enter the RADIUS key associated with the configured backup RADIUS servers. The server at RADIUS IP Address-1 uses RADIUS Key-1, RADIUS IP Address-2 uses RADIUS Key-2, and so on. Select this option to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on. If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all backup servers. Select this option to allow the secondary RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients if the authentication with the primary RADIUS server is unsuccessful, or if the primary RADIUS server is unavailable. Specify which configured RADIUS server to use as the active RADIUS server. Enter a value to set the interval at which the broadcast (group) key is refreshed for clients associated to this VAP (the default is 300). The valid range is 086400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not refreshed. Enter a value to set the interval at which the AP will refresh session (unicast) keys for each client associated to the VAP. The valid range is 086400 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the broadcast key is not refreshed.

Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Configuring the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to connect multiple UAPs. With WDS, APs communicate with one another without wires in a standardized way. This capability is critical in providing a seamless experience for roaming clients and for managing multiple wireless networks. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. You can configure the AP in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge mode based on the number of links to connect. In the point-to-point mode, the AP accepts client associations and communicates with wireless clients and other repeaters. The AP forwards all traffic meant for the other network over the tunnel that is established between the APs. The bridge does not add to the hop count. It functions as a simple OSI layer 2 network device. In the point-to-multipoint bridge mode, one AP acts as the common link between multiple APs. In this mode, the central AP accepts client associations and communicates with the clients and other repeaters. All other APs associate only with the central AP that forwards the packets to the appropriate wireless bridge for routing purposes. The UAP can also act as a repeater. In this mode, the AP serves as a connection between two APs that might be too far apart to be within cell range. When acting as a repeater, the AP does not have a wired connection to the LAN and repeats signals by using the wireless connection. No special configuration is required for the AP to function as a repeater, and there are no repeater mode settings. Wireless clients can still connect to an AP that is operating as a repeater. Note: When you move an AP from Standalone Mode to Managed Mode, WDS is disabled. In Managed Mode, you configure the AP by using the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch. The Administrator UI, as well as Telnet, SSH, and SNMP access are disabled when the AP is in Managed Mode. To specify the details of traffic exchange from this access point to others, click the WDS tab. Figure 27 - Configure WDS Bridges Before you configure WDS on the AP, note the following guidelines:
) When using WDS, be sure to configure WDS settings on both APs participating in the WDS link.
) You can have only one WDS link between any pair of APs. That is, a remote MAC address may appear only once on the WDS page for a particular AP. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 56 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point
) Both APs participating in a WDS link must be on the same Radio channel and using the same IEEE 802.11 mode. (See Modifying Radio Settings on page 40 for information on configuring the Radio mode and channel.)
) When 802.11h is operational, setting up two WDS links can be difficult. To configure WDS on this AP, describe each AP intended to receive handoffs and send information to this AP. For each destination AP, configure the fields listed in the table below. Field Spanning Tree Mode Radio Local Address Remote Address Encryption Description Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) prevents switching loops. STP is recommended if you configure WDS links. Select Enabled to use STP Select Disabled to turn off STP links (not recommended) For each WDS link on a two-radio AP, select Radio One or Radio Two. The rest of the settings for the link apply to the radio selected in this field. The read-only Local Address will change depending on which Radio you select in this field. Indicates the MAC addresses for this AP. For each WDS link on a two-radio AP, the Local Address reflects the MAC address for the internal interface on the selected radio (Radio One on wlan0 or Radio Two on wlan1). Specify the MAC address of the destination AP; that is, the AP on the other end of the WDS link to which data will be sent or handed-off and from which data will be received. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Remote Address field to see a list of all the available MAC Addresses and their associated SSIDs on the network. Select the appropriate MAC address from the list. Note: The SSID displayed in the drop-down list is simply to help you identify the correct MAC Address for the destination AP. This SSID is a separate SSID to that which you set for the WDS link. The two do not (and should not) be the same value or name. You can use no encryption, WEP, or WPA (PSK) on the WDS link. If you are unconcerned about security issues on the WDS link you may decide not to set any type of encryption. Alternatively, if you have security concerns you can choose between Static WEP and WPA (PSK). In WPA (PSK) mode, the AP uses WPA2-PSK with CCMP
(AES) encryption over the WDS link. Table 27 - WDS Settings If you select None as your preferred WDS encryption option, you will not be asked to fill in any more fields on the WDS page. All data transferred between the two APs on the WDS link will be unencrypted. Note: To disable a WDS link, you must remove the value configured in the Remote Address field. WEP on WDS Links The following table describes the additional fields that appear when you select WEP as the encryption type. Field Encryption WEP Key Length Key Type May 2016 Description WEP Select this option if you want to set WEP encryption on the WDS link. If WEP is enabled, specify the length of the WEP key:
) 64 bits
) 128 bits If WEP is enabled, specify the WEP key type:
) ASCII
) Hex Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 57 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Field Characters Required WEP Key Description Indicates the number of characters required in the WEP key. The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you set Key Length and Key Type. Enter a string of characters. If you selected ASCII, enter any combination of 0 9, a z, and A Z. If you selected HEX, enter hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0 9 and a f or A F). These are the RC4 encryption keys shared with the stations using the AP. Table 28 - WEP on WDS Links WPA/PSK on WDS Links The following table describes the aAdditional fields that appear when you select WPA/PSK as the encryption type. Field Encryption SSID Key Description WPA (PSK) Enter an appropriate name for the new WDS link you have created. This SSID should be different from the other SSIDs used by this AP. However, it is important that the same SSID is also entered at the other end of the WDS link. If this SSID is not the same for both APs on the WDS link, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data. The SSID can be any alphanumeric combination. Enter a unique shared key for the WDS bridge. This unique shared key must also be entered for the AP at the other end of the WDS link. If this key is not the same for both APs, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data. The WPA-PSK key is a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters. Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as @ and #. Table 29 - WPA/PSK on WDS Links Note: After you configure the WDS settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Controlling Access by MAC Authentication A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. All IEEE 802 network devices share a common 48-bit MAC address format, usually displayed as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits separated by colons, for example 00:DC:BA:09:87:65. Each wireless network interface card (NIC) used by a wireless client has a unique MAC address. You can use the Administrator UI on the AP or use an external RADIUS server to control access to the network through the AP based on the MAC address of the wireless client. This feature is called MAC Authentication or MAC Filtering. To control access, you configure a global list of MAC addresses locally on the AP or on an external RADIUS server. Then, you set a filter to specify whether the clients with those MAC addresses are allowed or denied access to the network. When a wireless client attempts to associate with an AP, the AP looks up the MAC address of the client in the local Stations List or on the RADIUS server. If it is found, the global allow or deny setting is applied. If it is not found, the opposite is applied. On the VAP page, the MAC Authentication Type setting controls whether the AP uses the station list configured locally on the MAC Authentication page or the external RADIUS server. The Allow/Block filter setting on the MAC Authentication page determines whether the clients in the station list (local or RADIUS) can access the network through the AP. For more information about setting the MAC authentication type, see Virtual Access Point Settings on page 47. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 58 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Configuring a MAC Filter and Station List on the AP The MAC Authentication page allows you to control access to UAP based on MAC addresses. Based on how you set the filter, you can allow only client stations with a listed MAC address or deny access to the stations listed. When you enable MAC Authentication and specify a list of approved MAC addresses, only clients with a listed MAC address can access the network. If you specify MAC addresses to deny, all clients can access the network except for the clients on the deny list. To enable filtering by MAC address, click the MAC Authentication tab. Figure 28 - Configure MAC Authentication Note: Global MAC Authentication settings apply to all VAPs on all supported radios. The following table describes the fields and configuration options available on the MAC Authentication page. Field Filter Stations List Description To set the MAC Address Filter, select one of the following options:
) Allow only stations in the list. Any station that is not in the Stations List is denied access to the network through the AP.
) Block all stations in list. Only the stations that appear in the list are denied access to the network through the AP. All other stations are permitted access. Note: The filter you select is applied to the clients in the station list, regardless of whether that station list is local or on the RADIUS server. This is the local list of clients that are either permitted or denied access to the network through the AP. To add a MAC Address to the local Stations List, enter its 48-bit MAC address into the lower text boxes, then click Add. To remove a MAC Address from the Stations List, select its 48-bit MAC address, then click Remove. The stations in the list will either be allowed or denied access based on how you set the filter in the previous field. Note: If the MAC authentication type for the VAP is set to Local, the AP uses the Stations List to permit or deny the clients access to the network. If the MAC authentication type is set to RADIUS, the AP ignores the MAC addresses configured in this list and uses the list that is stored on the RADIUS server. The MAC authentication type is set on the VAP configuration page. Table 30 - MAC Authentication Note: After you configure local MAC Authentication settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Configuring MAC Authentication on the RADIUS Server May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 59 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point If you use RADIUS MAC authentication for MAC-based access control, you must configure a station list on the RADIUS server. The station list contains client MAC address entries, and the format for the list is described in the following table. RADIUS Server Attribute User-Name (1) User-Password (2) Description MAC address of the client station. A fixed global password used to lookup a client MAC entry. Value Valid Ethernet MAC Address. NOPASSWORD Table 31 - RADIUS Server Attributes for MAC Authentication Configuring Load Balancing You can set network utilization thresholds on the UAP to maintain the speed and performance of the wireless network as clients associate and disassociate with the AP. The load balancing settings apply to all supported radios. To configure load balancing and set limits and behavior to be triggered by a specified utilization rate of the access point, click the Load Balancing tab and update the fields shown in the following figure. Figure 29 - Modify Load Balancing Settings Field Load Balancing Utilization for No New Associations Description Enable or disable load balancing:
To enable load balancing on this AP, click Enable. To disable load balancing on this AP, click Disable. Provide the percentage of network bandwidth utilization allowed on the radio before the AP stops accepting new client associations. The default is 0, which means that all new associations will be allowed regardless of the utilization rate. Table 32 - Load Balancing Note: After you configure the load balancing settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Managed Access Point Overview The UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts as an individual AP in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface (UI), CLI, or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unified Wired and Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled. On the UAP, you can configure the IP addresses of up to four D-Link Unified Wireless Switches that can manage it. In order to manage the AP, the switch and AP must discover each other. There are multiple ways for a switch to discover an AP. Adding the IP address of the switch to the AP while it is in Standalone Mode is one way to enable switch-to-AP discovery. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 60 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Transitioning Between Modes Every 30 seconds, the D-Link Unified Wireless Switch sends a keepalive message to all of the access points it manages. Each AP checks for the keepalive messages on the SSL TCP connection. As long as the AP maintains communication with the switch through the keepalive messages, it remains in Managed Mode. If the AP does not receive a message within 45 seconds of the last keepalive message, the AP assumes the switch has failed and terminates its TCP connection to the switch, and the AP enters Standalone Mode. Once the AP transitions to Standalone Mode, it continues to forward traffic without any loss. The AP uses the configuration on the VAPs configured in VLAN Forwarding mode (the standard, non-tunneled mode). While the AP is in Standalone Mode, you can manage it by using the Web interface or the CLI (through Telnet or SSH). For any clients that are connected to the AP through tunneled VAPs, the AP sends disassociate messages and disables the tunneled VAPs. As long as the Managed AP Administrative Mode is set to Enabled, the AP starts discovery procedures. If the AP establishes a connection with a wireless switch, which may or may not be the same switch it was connected to before, the switch sends the AP its configuration and the AP sends the wireless switch information about all currently associated clients. After the configuration from the switch is applied, the AP radio(s) restart. Client traffic is briefly interrupted until the radio(s) are up and the clients are re-associated. Configuring Managed Access Point Settings To add the IP address of a D-Link Unified Wireless Switch to the AP, click the Managed Access Point tab under the Manage heading and update the fields shown in the table below. Figure 30 - Configure Managed AP Wireless Switch Parameters Field Managed AP Administrative Mode Switch IP Address

If the AP successfully authenticates itself with a wireless switch, you will not be able to access the Administrator UI. Click Disabled to prevent the AP from contacting wireless switches. Enter the IP address of up to four wireless switches that can manage the AP. You can enter the IP address in dotted format or as an DNS name. You can view a list of wireless switches on your network that were configured by using a DHCP server. The AP attempts to contact Switch IP Address 1 first. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 61 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 4 - Managing the Access Point Field Base IP Port Pass Phrase WDS Managed Mode WDS Managed Ethernet Port WDS Group Password Description The starting IP port number used by the wireless feature (in a range of 10 consecutive port numbers). Only the first number in the range is configurable. The default value is 57775
(through 57784). Note: When the wireless Base IP Port number is changed on the switch, the wireless feature is automatically disabled and re-enabled. The new value is not sent as part of the global switch configuration in the cluster configuration distribution command; every switch in the cluster must be configured independently with the new Wireless IP port number. Note: When the wireless Base IP Port number is changed from its default value on the switch, it must also be changed on the Access Points. Select the Edit option and enter a passphrase to allow the AP to authenticate itself with the wireless switch. The passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters. To remove the password, select Edit, delete the existing password, and then click Apply. You must configure the same passphrase on the switch. Specify whether the AP will act as a Root AP or Satellite AP within the WDS group:
) Root AP Acts as a bridge or repeater on the wireless medium and communicates with the switch via the wired link.
) Satellite AP Communicates with the switch via a WDS link to the Root AP. This mode enables the Satellite AP to discover and establish WDS link with the Root AP. Specify whether the Ethernet port is to be enabled or disabled when the AP becomes part of a WDS group. Password for WPA2 Personal authentication used to establish the WDS links. Only the Satellite APs need this configuration. The Root APs get the password from the switch when they become managed. Table 33 - Managed Access Point Note: After you configure the settings on the Managed Access Point page, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. If the UAP successfully authenticates with a D-Link Unified Wireless Switch, you will loose access to the AP through the Administrator UI. Configuring 802.1X Authentication On networks that use IEEE 802.1X, port-based network access control, a supplicant (client) cannot gain access to the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must configure 802.1X authentication information that the AP can supply to the authenticator. To configure the UAP 802.1X supplicant user name and password by using the Web interface, click the Authentication tab and configure the fields shown in the table below.

If you disable the protocol you are currently using to access the AP management interface, the current connection will end and you will not be able to access the AP by using that protocol until it is enabled. Configuring SNMP on the Access Point Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) defines a standard for recording, storing, and sharing information about network devices. SNMP facilitates network management, troubleshooting, and maintenance. The AP supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3. Unless specifically noted, all configuration parameters on this page apply to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only. Key components of any SNMP-managed network are managed devices, SNMP agents, and a management system. The agents store data about their devices in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP manager when requested. Managed devices can be network nodes such as APs, routers, switches, bridges, hubs, servers, or printers. The UAP can function as an SNMP managed device for seamless integration into network management systems such as HP OpenView. From the SNMP page under the Services heading, you can start or stop control of SNMP agents, configure community passwords, access MIBs, and configure SNMP Trap destinations. From the pages under the SNMPv3 heading, you can manage SNMPv3 users and their security levels and define access control to the SNMP MIBs. For information about how to configure SNMPv3 views, groups, users, and targets, see Section 6 - Configuring SNMPv3 on page 75. To configure SNMP, click the SNMP tab under the Services heading and update the fields described in the table below.

(for permitted SNMP get operations) Port number the SNMP agent will listen to Allow SNMP set requests Read-write community name
(for permitted SNMP set operations) Restrict the source of SNMP requests to only the designated hosts or subnets Description You can specify the SNMP administrative mode on your network. By default SNMP is enabled. To enable SNMP, click Enabled. To disable SNMP, click Disabled. After changing the mode, you must click Apply to save your configuration changes. Note: If SNMP is disabled, all remaining fields on the SNMP page are disabled. This is a global SNMP parameter which applies to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. Enter a read-only community name. The valid range is 1-256 characters. The community name, as defined in SNMPv2c, acts as a simple authentication mechanism to restrict the machines on the network that can request data to the SNMP agent. The name functions as a password, and the request is assumed to be authentic if the sender knows the password. The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. By default an SNMP agent only listens to requests from port 161. However, you can configure this so the agent listens to requests on another port. Enter the port number on which you want the SNMP agents to listen to requests. The valid range is 1-65535. Note: This is a global SNMP parameter that applies to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. You can choose whether or not to allow SNMP set requests on the AP. Enabling SNMP set requests means that machines on the network can execute configuration changes via the SNMP agent on the AP to the D-Link System MIB. To enable SNMP set requests, click Enabled. To disable SNMP set requests, click Disabled. If you have enabled SNMP set requests you can set a read-write community name. The valid range is 1-256 characters. Setting a community name is similar to setting a password. Only requests from the machines that identify themselves with this community name will be accepted. The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. You can restrict the source of permitted SNMP requests. To restrict the source of permitted SNMP requests, click Enabled. To permit any source submitting an SNMP request, click Disabled. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 67 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Hostname, address or subnet of Network Management System IPv6 Hostname or IPv6 subnet of Network Management System Community name for traps Hostname or IP address Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Description Specify the IPv4 DNS hostname or subnet of the machines that can execute get and set requests to the managed devices. The valid range is 1-256 characters. As with community names, this provides a level of security on SNMP settings. The SNMP agent will only accept requests from the hostname or subnet specified here. To specify a subnet, enter one or more subnetwork address ranges in the form address/
mask_length where address is an IP address and mask_length is the number of mask bits. Both formats address/mask and address/mask_length are supported. Individual hosts can be provided for this, i.e. IP Address or Hostname. For example, if you enter a range of 192.168.1.0/24 this specifies a subnetwork with address 192.168.1.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The address range is used to specify the subnet of the designated NMS. Only machines with IP addresses in this range are permitted to execute get and set requests on the managed device. Given the example above, the machines with addresses from 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 can execute SNMP commands on the device. (The address identified by suffix .0 in a subnetwork range is always reserved for the subnet address, and the address identified by .255 in the range is always reserved for the broadcast address). As another example, if you enter a range of 10.10.1.128/25 machines with IP addresses from 10.10.1.129 through 10.10.1.254 can execute SNMP requests on managed devices. In this example, 10.10.1.128 is the network address and 10.10.1.255 is the broadcast address. 126 addresses would be designated. Specify the IPv6 DNS hostname or subnet of the machines that can execute get and set requests to the managed devices. Enter the global community string associated with SNMP traps. The valid range is 1-256 characters. Traps sent from the device will provide this string as a community name. The community name can be in any alphanumeric format. Special characters are not permitted. Enter the DNS hostname of the computer to which you want to send SNMP traps. The valid range is 1-256 characters. An example of a DNS hostname is: snmptraps.foo.com. Since SNMP traps are sent randomly from the SNMP agent, it makes sense to specify where exactly the traps should be sent. You can add up to a maximum of three DNS hostnames. Ensure you select the Enabled check box beside the appropriate hostname. Table 37 - SNMP Settings Note: After you configure the SNMP settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Setting the SSH Status Secure Shell (SSH) is a program that provides access to the DWL-x600AP CLI from a remote host. SSH is more secure than Telnet for remote access because it provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. From the SSH page, you can enable or disable SSH access to the system. Figure 35 - Set SSH Status May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 68 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Field SSH Status Description Choose to either enable or disable SSH access to the AP CLI:
) To permit remote access to the AP by using SSH, click Enabled.
) To prevent remote access to the AP by using SSH, click Disabled. Table 38 - SSH Settings Setting the Telnet Status Telnet is a program that provides access to the DWL-x600AP CLI from a remote host. From the Telnet page, you can enable or disable Telnet access to the system. Figure 36 - Set Telnet Status Field Telnet Status Description Choose to either enable or disable Telnet access to the AP CLI:
) To permit remote access to the AP by using Telnet, click Enabled.
) To prevent remote access to the AP by using Telnet, click Disabled. Table 39 - Telnet Settings Configuring Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless traffic like Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data over the UAP. Configuring QoS on the UAP consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic, and effectively specifying minimum and maximum wait times (through Contention Windows) for transmission. The settings described here apply to data transmission behavior on the AP only, not to that of the client stations. AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the AP to the client station. Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the client station to the AP. The default values for the AP and station EDCA parameters are those suggested by the Wi-Fi Alliance in the WMM specification. In normal use these values should not need to be changed. Changing these values will affect the QoS provided. Note: On the DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP, the QoS settings apply to both radios, but the traffic for each radio is queued independently. To set up queues for QoS, click the QoS tab under the Services heading and configure settings as described in the table below. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 69 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Figure 37 - Modify QoS Queue Parameters Description Possible options are: Default, Optimized for Voice, and Custom. Queues are defined for different types of data transmitted from AP-to-station:
) Data 0 (Voice) High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
) Data 1(Video) High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.
) Data 2 (Best Effort) Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
) Data 3 (Background) Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example). The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) specifies a wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255. This parameter is input to the algorithm that determines the initial random back off wait time
(window) for retry of a transmission. The value specified for Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random back off wait time is determined. The first random number generated will be a number between 0 and the number specified here. If the first random back off wait time expires before the data frame is sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random back off value (window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the random back off value reaches the number defined in the Maximum Contention Window. Valid values for cwMin are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower than the value for cwMax. The value specified for the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random back off value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached. Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached. Valid values for cwMax are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for cwMin. Field EDCA Template AP EDCA Parameters Queue AIFS (Inter-Frame Space) cwMin (Minimum Contention Window) cwMax (Maximum Contention Window) May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 70 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Field Max. Burst Length Description The Max. Burst Length is an AP EDCA parameter and only applies to traffic flowing from the AP to the client station. This value specifies (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information. The decreased overhead results in higher throughput and better performance. Valid values for maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Settings Wi-Fi MultiMedia
(WMM) Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) is enabled by default. With WMM enabled, QoS prioritization and coordination of wireless medium access is on. With WMM enabled, QoS settings on the UAP control downstream traffic flowing from the AP to client station (AP EDCA parameters) and the upstream traffic flowing from the station to the AP (station EDCA parameters). Disabling WMM deactivates QoS control of station EDCA parameters on upstream traffic flowing from the station to the AP. With WMM disabled, you can still set some parameters on the downstream traffic flowing from the AP to the client station (AP EDCA parameters). To disable WMM extensions, click Disabled. To enable WMM extensions, click Enabled. Station EDCA Parameters Queue Queues are defined for different types of data transmitted from station-to-AP:
) Data 0 (Voice) Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
) Data 1(Video) Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue.
) Data 2 (Best Effort) Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
) Data 3 (Background) Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example). AIFS (Inter-Frame Space) cwMin (Minimum Contention Window) cwMax (Maximum Contention Window) TXOP Limit Other QoS Settings No Acknowledgement APSD May 2016 The Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS) specifies a wait time for data frames. The wait time is measured in slots. Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255. This parameter is used by the algorithm that determines the initial random back off wait time (window) for retry of a data transmission during a period of contention for Unified Access Point resources. The value specified here in the Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random back off wait time will be determined. The first random number generated will be a number between 0 and the number specified here. If the first random back off wait time expires before the data frame is sent, a retry counter is incremented and the random back off value (window) is doubled. Doubling will continue until the size of the random back off value reaches the number defined in the Maximum Contention Window. The value specified here in the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random back off value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached. Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached. The TXOP Limit is a station EDCA parameter and only applies to traffic flowing from the client station to the AP. The Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) is an interval of time, in milliseconds, when a WME client station has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium (WM) towards the Unified Access Point. The TXOP Limit maximum value is 65535. Select On to specify that the AP should not acknowledge frames with QosNoAck as the service class value. Select On to enable Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD), which is a power management method. APSD is recommended if VoIP phones access the network through the AP. Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 71 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Note: After you configure the QoS settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low. Table 40 - QoS Settings Configuring Email Alert The Email Alert feature allows the AP to automatically send email messages when an event at or above the configured severity level occurs. Use the Email Alert Configuration page to configure mail server settings, to set the severity level that triggers alerts, and to add up to three email addresses where urgent and non-urgent email alerts are sent. Note: Email alert is operationally disabled when the AP transitions to managed mode. Figure 38 - Email Alerts Configuration Field Description Email Alert Global Configuration Admin Mode From Address Log Duration Urgent Message Severity Globally enable or disable the Email Alert feature on the AP. By default, email alerts are disabled. Specify the email address that appears in the From field of alert messages sent from the AP, for example dlinkAP23@foo.com. The address can be a maximum of 255 characters and can contain only printable characters. By default, no address is configured. This duration, in minutes, determines how frequently the non-critical messages are sent to the SMTP Server. The range is 30-1440 minutes. The default is 30 minutes. Configures the severity level for log messages that are considered to be urgent. Messages in this category are sent immediately. The security level you select and all higher levels are urgent:
) Emergency indicates system is unusable. It is the highest level of severity.
) Alert indicates action must be taken immediately.
) Critical indicates critical conditions.
) Error indicates error conditions.
) Warning indicates warning conditions.
) Notice indicates normal but significant conditions.
) Info indicates informational messages.
) Debug indicates debug-level messages. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 72 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Description Field Non Urgent Severity Configures the severity level for log messages that are considered to be non-urgent. Messages in this category are collected and sent in a digest form at the time interval specified by the Log Duration field. The security level you select and all levels up to, but not including the lowest Urgent level are considered non-urgent. Messages below the security level you specify are not sent via email. See the Urgent Message field description for information about the security levels. Email Alert Mail Server Configuration Mail Server Address Specify the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server on the network. Mail Server Security Specify whether to use SMTP over SSL (TLSv1) or no security (Open) for authentication Mail Server Port Username with the mail server. The default is Open.

NTP is an Internet standard protocol that synchronizes computer clock times on your network. NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time) to their client systems. NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date and time of each event in log messages. See http://www.ntp.org for more information about NTP. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 73 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide To set the system time either manually or by specifying the address of the NTP server for the AP to use, click the Services > Time Settings (NTP) tab and update the fields as described in the table below. Section 5 - Configuring Access Point Services Figure 39 - Time Settings (NTP) Description NTP provides a way for the AP to obtain and maintain its time from a server on the network. Using an NTP server gives your AP the ability to provide the correct time of day in log messages and session information. Choose to use a network time protocol (NTP) server to determine the system time, or set the system time manually:
) To permit the AP to poll an NTP server, click Using Network Time Protocol (NTP).
) To prevent the AP from polling an NTP server, click Manually. If NTP is enabled, specify the NTP server to use. You can specify the NTP server by hostname or IP address, although using the IP address is not recommended as these can change more readily. If you specify a hostname, note the following requirements:
) The length must be between 1 63 characters.
) Upper and lower case characters, numbers, and hyphens are accepted.
) The first character must be a letter (az or AZ), and the last character cannot be a hyphen. Specify the current month, day, and year. Specify the current time in hours and minutes. The system uses a 24-hour clock, so 6:00 PM is configured as 18:00. Select your local time zone from the menu. The default is USA (Pacific). Select to have the system adjust the reported time for Daylight Savings Time (DST). When this field is selected, fields to configure Daylight Savings Time settings appear. Configure the date and time to begin Daylight Savings Time for the System Time. Configure the date and time to end Daylight Savings Time for the System Time. Select the number of minutes to offset DST. The default is 60 minutes. Field Set System Time NTP Server (Use NTP) System Date

May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 74 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 6 - Configuring SNMPv3 Section 6 - Configuring SNMPv3 This section describes how to configure the SNMPv3 settings on the UAP and contains the following subsections:
) Configuring SNMPv3 Views on page 75
) Configuring SNMPv3 Groups on page 76
) Configuring SNMPv3 Users on page 77
) Configuring SNMPv3 Targets on page 78 Configuring SNMPv3 Views A MIB view is a combination of a set of view subtrees or a family of view subtrees where each view subtree is a subtree within the managed object naming tree. You can create MIB views to control the OID range that SNMPv3 users can access. A MIB view called all is created by default in the system. This view contains all management objects supported by the system. Note: If you create an excluded view subtree, create a corresponding included entry with the same view name to allow subtrees outside of the excluded subtree to be included. For example, to create a view that excludes the subtree 1.3.6.1.4, create an excluded entry with the OID 1.3.6.1.4. Then, create an included entry with OID .1 with the same view name. The following table describes the fields you can configure on the SNMPv3 Views page. Figure 40 - SNMPv3 Views Configuration Field View Name Type OID Mask SNMPv3 Views May 2016 Description Enter a name to identify the MIB view. View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Specifies whether to include or exclude the view subtree or family of subtrees from the MIB view. Enter an OID string for the subtree to include or exclude from the view. For example, the system subtree is specified by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1. The OID mask is 47 characters in length. The format of the OID mask is xx.xx.xx (.)... or xx:xx:xx.... (:) and is 16 octets in length. Each octet is 2 hexadecimal characters separated by either . (period) or : (colon). Only hex characters are accepted in this field. For example, OID mask FA.80 is 11111010.10000000. A family mask is used to define a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which sub-identifiers of the associated family OID string are significant to the familys definition. A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efficient manner. This field shows the MIB views on the UAP. To remove a view, select it and click Remove.

Section 6 - Configuring SNMPv3 Configuring SNMPv3 Groups SNMPv3 groups allow you to combine users into groups of different authorization and access privileges. By default, the UAP has two groups:
) RO A read-only group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/
password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be defined. By default, users of this group will have read only access to the default all MIB view, which can be modified by the user.
) RW A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/
password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be defined. By default, users of this group will have read and write access to the default all MIB view, which can be modified by the user. RW and RO groups are defined by default. Note: The UAP supports maximum of eight groups. To define additional groups, navigate to the SNMPv3 Groups page and configure the settings that the table below describes. Figure 41 - SNMPv3 Groups Configuration Field Name Security Level Write Views May 2016 Description Specify a name to use to identify the group. The default group names are RW and RO. Group names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Select one of the following security levels for the group:
) noAuthentication-noPrivacy No authentication and no data encryption (no security).
) Authentication-noPrivacy Authentication, but no data encryption. With this security level, users send SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for encryption.
) Authentication-Privacy Authentication and data encryption. With this security level, users send an MD5 key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. For groups that require authentication, encryption, or both, you must define the MD5 and DES key/passwords on the SNMPv3 Users page. Select the write access to management objects (MIBs) for the group:
) write-all The group can create, alter, and delete MIBs.
) write-none The group is not allowed to create, alter, or delete MIBS. Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 76 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 6 - Configuring SNMPv3 Field Read Views Description Select the read access to management objects (MIBs) for the group:

A dialog box opens verifying the restore. 5.) Click the Restore button. 6.) Click OK to proceed. The AP reboots. A reboot confirmation dialog and follow-on rebooting status message displays. Please wait for the reboot process to complete, which might take several minutes. The Administration Web UI is not accessible until the AP has rebooted. Performing AP Maintenance From the Maintenance page, you can reset the AP to its factory default settings or reboot the AP. Figure 49 - Performing AP Maintenance Resetting the Factory Default Configuration If you are experiencing problems with the UAP and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, click Reset. This restores factory defaults and clears all settings, including settings such as a new password or wireless settings. You can also use the reset button on the back panel to reset the system to the default configuration. Rebooting the Access Point For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the UAP. To reboot the AP, click the Reboot button on the Configuration page. Upgrading the Firmware As new versions of the UAP firmware become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your devices to take advantage of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP client for firmware upgrades. You can also use HTTP to perform firmware upgrades. After you upload new firmware and the system reboots, the newly added firmware becomes the primary image. If the upgrade fails, the original firmware remains as the primary image. Note: When you upgrade the firmware, the access point retains the existing configuration information. Use the following steps to upgrade the firmware on an access point by using TFTP:
1.) Select TFTP for Upload Method. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 81 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 7 - Maintaining the Access Point Figure 50 - Manage Firmware (TFTP) 2.) Enter a name (1 to 63 characters) for the image file in the Image Filename field, including the path to the directory that contains the image to upload. For example, to upload the ap_upgrade.tar image located in the /share/builds/ap directory, enter /
share/builds/ap/ap_upgrade.tar in the Image Filename field. The firmware upgrade file supplied must be a tar file. Do not attempt to use bin files or files of other formats for the upgrade; these types of files will not work. 3.) Enter the Server IP address of the TFTP server. 4.) Click Upgrade. Upon clicking Upgrade for the firmware upgrade, a popup confirmation window is displayed that describes the upgrade process. 5.) Click OK to confirm the upgrade and start the process. Note: The firmware upgrade process begins once you click Upgrade and then OK in the pop-up confirmation window. The upgrade process may take several minutes during which time the access point will be unavailable. Do not power down the access point while the upgrade is in process. When the upgrade is complete, the access point restarts. The AP resumes normal operation with the same configuration settings it had before the upgrade. 6.) To verify that the firmware upgrade completed successfully, check the firmware version shown on the Upgrade page (or the Basic Settings page). If the upgrade was successful, the updated version name or number is indicated. Use the following steps to upgrade the firmware on an access point by using HTTP:
1.) Select HTTP for Upload Method. Figure 51 - Manage Firmware (HTTP) 2.) If you know the path to the new firmware image file, enter it in the Image Filename field. Otherwise, click the Browse button and locate the firmware image file. The firmware upgrade file supplied must be a tar file. Do not attempt to use bin files or files of other formats for the upgrade; these types of files will not work. 3.) Click Upgrade to apply the new firmware image. Upon clicking Upgrade for the firmware upgrade, a popup confirmation window is displayed that describes the upgrade process. 4.) Click OK to confirm the upgrade and start the process. Note: The firmware upgrade process begins once you click Upgrade and then OK in the popup confirmation window. The upgrade process may take several minutes during which time the access point will be unavailable. Do not power down the access point while the upgrade is in process. When the upgrade is complete, the access point restarts. The AP resumes normal operation with the same configuration settings it had before the upgrade. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 82 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide 5.) To verify that the firmware upgrade completed successfully, check the firmware version shown on the Upgrade page (or the Basic Settings page). If the upgrade was successful, the updated version name or number is indicated. Section 7 - Maintaining the Access Point Packet Capture Configuration and Settings Wireless packet capture operates in two modes:
) Capture file mode.
) Remote capture mode. For capture file mode, captured packets are stored in a file on the Access Point. The AP can transfer the file to a TFTP server. The file is formatted in pcap format and can be examined using tools such as Wireshark and OmniPeek. For remote capture mode, the captured packets are redirected in real time to an external PC running the Wireshark tool. The AP can capture the following types of packets:
) 802.11 packets received and transmitted on radio interfaces. Packets captured on radio interfaces include the 802.11 header.
) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the Ethernet interface.
) 802.3 packets received and transmitted on the internal logical interfaces such as VAPs and WDS interfaces. From the Packet Capture Configuration and Settings page, you can:
) View the current packet capture status.
) Configure packet capture parameters.
) Configure packet file capture.
) Configure a remote capture port.
) Download a packet capture file. Figure 52 - Packet Capture Configuration & Settings Packet Capture Status Packet Capture Status allows you to view the status of packet capture on the AP. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 83 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 7 - Maintaining the Access Point The following table describes information the packet capture status fields display. Figure 53 - Packet Capture Status Field Current Capture Status Packet Capture Time Packet Capture File Size Description Shows whether packet capture is running or stopped. Shows elapsed capture time. Shows the current capture file size. Table 47 - Packet Capture Status Packet Capture Parameter Configuration Packet Capture Configuration allows you to configure parameters that affect how packet capture functions on the radio interfaces. The following table describes the fields to configure the packet capture. Figure 54 - Packet Capture Configuration Field Capture Beacons Promiscuous Capture Client Filter Enable Client Filter MAC Address Description Enable to capture the 802.11 beacons detected or transmitted by the radio. Enable to place the radio in promiscuous mode when the capture is active. In promiscuous mode the radio receives all traffic on the channel, including traffic that is not destined to this AP. While the radio is operating in promiscuous mode, it continues serving associated clients. Packets not destined to the AP are not forwarded. As soon as the capture is completed, the radio reverts to non-promiscuous mode operation. Enable to use the WLAN client filter to capture only frames that are transmitted to, or received from a WLAN client with a specified MAC address. Specify a MAC address for WLAN client filtering. Note: The MAC filter is active only when capture is performed on an 802.11 interface. Table 48 - Packet Capture Configuration Note: Changes to packet capture configuration parameters take affect after packet capture is restarted. Modifying the parameters while the packet capture is running doesnt affect the current packet capture session. In order to begin using new parameter values, an existing packet capture session must be stopped and re-started. Packet File Capture In Packet File Capture mode the AP stores captured packets in the RAM file system. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 84 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 7 - Maintaining the Access Point Upon activation, the packet capture proceeds until one of the following occurs:
) The capture time reaches configured duration.
) The capture file reaches its maximum size.
) The administrator stops the capture. During the capture, you can monitor the capture status, elapsed capture time, and the current capture file size. This information can be updated, while the capture is in progress, by clicking Refresh. The following table describes the fields to configure the packet capture status. Figure 55 - Packet File Capture Field Capture Interface Description Select an AP Capture Interface name from the drop-down menu. AP capture interface names are eligible for packet capture are:
) brtrunk - Linux bridge interface in the AP
) eth0 - 802.3 traffic on the Ethernet port.
) wlan0 - VAP0 traffic on radio 1.
) wlan1 - VAP0 traffic on radio 2.
) radio1 - 802.11 traffic on radio 1.
) radio2 - 802.11 traffic on radio 2. Capture Duration Max Capture File Size Specify the time duration in seconds for the capture (range 10 to 3600). Specify the maximum allowed size for the capture file in KB (range 64 to 4096). Table 49 - Packet File Capture Remote Packet Capture Remote Packet Capture allows you to specify a remote port as the destination for packet captures. This feature works in conjunction with the Wireshark network analyzer tool for Windows. A packet capture server runs on the AP and sends the captured packets via a TCP connection to the Wireshark tool. A Windows PC running the Wireshark tool allows you to display, log, and analyze captured traffic. When the remote capture mode is in use, the AP doesnt store any captured data locally in its file system. Your can trace up to five interfaces on the AP at the same time. However, you must start a separate Wireshark session for each interface. You can configure the IP port number used for connecting Wireshark to the AP. The default port number is 2002. The system uses 5 consecutive port numbers starting with the configured port for the packet capture sessions. If a firewall is installed between the Wireshark PC and the AP, these ports must be allowed to pass through the firewall. The firewall must also be configured to allow the Wireshark PC to initiate TCP connection to the AP. To configure Wireshark to use the AP as the source for captured packets, you must specify the remote interface in the Capture Options menu. For example to capture packets on an AP with IP address 192.168.1.10 on radio 1 using the default IP port, specify the following interface:
rpcap://192.168.1.10/radio1 May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 85 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide To capture packets on the Ethernet interface of the AP and VAP0 on radio 1 using IP port 58000, start two Wireshark sessions and specify the following interfaces:
rpcap://192.168.1.10:58000/eth0 rpcap://192.168.1.10:58000/wlan0 Section 7 - Maintaining the Access Point When you are capturing traffic on the radio interface, you can disable beacon capture, but other 802.11 control frames are still sent to Wireshark. You can set up a display filter to show only:
) Data frames in the trace.
) Traffic on specific BSSIDs.
) Traffic between two clients. Some examples of useful display filters are:
) Exclude beacons and ACK/RTS/CTS frames:
!(wlan.fc.type_subtype == 8 || wlan.fc.type == 1)
) Data frames only:
wlan.fc.type == 2
) Traffic on a specific BSSID:
wlan.bssid == 00:02:bc:00:17:d0
) All traffic to and from a specific client:
wlan.addr == 00:00:e8:4e:5f:8e In remote capture mode, traffic is sent to the PC running Wireshark via one of the network interfaces. Depending on where the Wireshark tool is located the traffic can be sent on an Ethernet interface or one of the radios. In order to avoid a traffic flood caused by tracing the trace packets, the AP automatically installs a capture filter to filter out all packets destined to the Wireshark application. For example if the Wireshark IP port is configured to be 58000 then the following capture filter is automatically installed on the AP:
not portrange 58000-58004. Enabling the packet capture feature impacts performance of the AP and can create a security issue (unauthorized clients may be able to connect to the AP and trace user data). The AP performance is negatively impacted even if there is no active Wireshark session with the AP. The performance is negatively impacted to a greater extent when packet capture is in progress. Due to performance and security issues, the packet capture mode is not saved in NVRAM on the AP; if the AP resets, the capture mode is disabled and the you must re-enable it in order to resume capturing traffic. Packet capture parameters (other than mode) are saved in NVRAM. In order to minimize performance impact on the AP while traffic capture is in progress, you should install capture filters to limit which traffic is sent to the Wireshark tool. When capturing 802.11 traffic, large portion of the captured frames tend to be beacons (typically sent every 100ms by all Access Points). Although Wireshark supports a display filter for beacon frames, it does not support a capture filter to prevent the AP from forwarding captured beacon packets to the Wireshark tool. In order to reduce performance impact of capturing the 802.11 beacons, you can disable the capture beacons mode. The remote packet capture facility is a standard feature of the Wireshark tool for Windows. Note: Remote packet capture is not standard on the Linux version of Wireshark; the Linux version doesnt work with the AP. Wireshark is an open source tool and is available for free; it can be downloaded from http://www.wireshark.org. The following table describes the fields to configure the packet capture status. Figure 56 - Remote Packet Capture May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 86 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Field Remote Capture Port Description Specify the remote port to use as the destination for packet captures. (range 1 to 65530). Table 50 - Remote Packet Capture Section 7 - Maintaining the Access Point Packet Capture File Download Packet Capture File Download allows you to download the capture file by TFTP to a configured TFTP server or by HTTP(S) to a PC. The captured packets are stored in file /tmp/apcapture.pcap on the AP. A capture is automatically stopped when the capture file download command is triggered. Because the capture file is located in the RAM file system, it disappears if the AP is reset. The following table describes the fields to configure the packet capture status. Figure 57 - Packet Capture File Download Field Use TFTP to download the capture file Description Select or clear this option to determine whether to use TFTP or HTTP(S) to download the capture file:

TFTP Server Filename Server IP When using TFTP to download the file, specify a name for the packet capture file, including the .pcap file name extension and the path to the directory where you want to save the file. When using TFTP to download the file, specify the IP address of the TFTP server. Table 51 - Packet Capture File Download May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 87 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS) Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS) This section describes how to configure QoS settings that affect traffic from the wireless clients to the AP. By using the UAP Client QoS features, you can limit bandwidth and apply ACLs and DiffServ policies to the wireless interface. If a VAP uses WPA Enterprise security to authenticate clients, you can configure the RADIUS server to provide per-client QoS information. This section describes the following features:
) Configuring VAP QoS Parameters on page 88
) Managing Client QoS ACLs on page 89
) Creating a DiffServ Class Map on page 95
) Creating a DiffServ Policy Map on page 100
) Configuring RADIUS-Assigned Client QoS Parameters on page 102 Configuring VAP QoS Parameters The client QoS features on the UAP provide additional control over certain QoS aspects of wireless clients that connect to the network, such as the amount of bandwidth an individual client is allowed to send and receive. To control general categories of traffic, such as HTTP traffic or traffic from a specific subnet, you can configure ACLs and assign them to one or more VAPs. In addition to controlling general traffic categories, Client QoS allows you to configure per-client conditioning of various micro-flows through Differentiated Services (DiffServ). DiffServ policies are a useful tool for establishing general micro-
flow definition and treatment characteristics that can be applied to each wireless client, both inbound and outbound, when it is authenticated on the network. From the VAP QoS Parameters page, you can enable the Client QoS feature, specify client bandwidth limits, and select the ACLs and DiffServ policies to use as default values for clients associated with the VAP when the client does not have their own attributes defined by a RADIUS server. To configure the Client QoS administrative mode and to configure the QoS settings for a VAP, click the VAP QoS Parameters tab. Figure 58 - Configure Client QoS VAP Settings Field Client QoS Global Admin Mode Radio VAP Description Enable or disable Client QoS operation on the AP. Changing this setting will not affect the WMM settings you configure on the QoS page. For dual-radio APs, select Radio 1 or Radio 2 to specify which radio to configure. Specify the VAP that will have the Client QoS settings that you configure. The QoS settings you configure for the selected VAP will not affect clients that access the network through other VAPs. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 88 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS) Field Client QoS Mode Bandwidth Limit Down Description Enable or disable QoS operation on the VAP selected in the VAP menu. QoS must be enabled globally (from the Client QoS Global Admin Mode field) and on the VAP (QoS Mode field) for the Client QoS settings to be applied to wireless clients. Enter the maximum allowed transmission rate from the AP to the wireless client in bits per second. The valid range is 0 429496000 bits/sec. The value you enter must be a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, in other words, the value must be n 8000 bits/sec, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3... If you attempt to set the limit to a value that is not a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, the configuration will be rejected. A value of 0 means that the bandwidth maximum limit is not enforced in this direction. Bandwidth Limit Up Enter the maximum allowed client transmission rate to the AP in bits per second. The valid ACL Type Down ACL Name Down ACL Type Up range is 0 4294967295 bps. The value you enter must be n 8000 bits/sec, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3... If you attempt to set the limit to a value that is not a multiple of 8000 bits/sec, the configuration will be rejected. A value of 0 means that the bandwidth maximum limit is not enforced in this direction. Select the type of ACL to apply to traffic in the outbound (down) direction, which can be one of the following:
) IPv4: The ACL examines IPv4 packets for matches to ACL rules
) IPv6: The ACL examines IPv6 packets for matches to ACL rules
) MAC: The ACL examines layer 2 frames for matches to ACL rules Select the name of the ACL applied to traffic in the outbound (down) direction. After switching the packet or frame to the outbound interface, the ACLs rules are checked for a match. The packet or frame is transmitted if it is permitted, and discarded if it is denied. Select the type of ACL to apply to traffic in the inbound (up) direction, which can be one of the following:
) IPv4: The ACL examines IPv4 packets for matches to ACL rules
) IPv6: The ACL examines IPv6 packets for matches to ACL rules
) MAC: The ACL examines layer 2 frames for matches to ACL rules ACL Name Up DiffServ Policy Down DiffServ Policy Up Select the name of the ACL applied to traffic entering the AP in the inbound (up) direction. When a packet or frame is received by the AP, the ACLs rules are checked for a match. The packet or frame is processed if it is permitted, and discarded if it is denied. Select the name of the DiffServ policy applied to traffic from the AP in the outbound (down) direction. Select the name of the DiffServ policy applied to traffic sent to the AP in the inbound (up) direction. Table 52 - VAP QoS Parameters Managing Client QoS ACLs ACLs are a collection of permit and deny conditions, called rules, that provide security by blocking unauthorized users and allowing authorized users to access specific resources. ACLs can block any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. The UAP supports up to 50 IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs. IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs IP ACLs classify traffic for Layers 3 and 4. Each ACL is a set of up to 10 rules applied to traffic sent from a wireless client or to be received by a wireless client. Each rule specifies whether the contents of a given field should be used to permit or deny access to the network. Rules can be based on various criteria and may apply to one ore more fields within a packet, such as the source or destination IP address, the source or destination L4 port, or the protocol carried in the packet. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 89 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS) MAC ACLs MAC ACLs are Layer 2 ACLs. You can configure the rules to inspect fields of a frame such as the source or destination MAC address, the VLAN ID, or the Class of Service 802.1p priority. When a frame enters or exits the AP port (depending on whether the ACL is applied in the up or down direction), the AP inspects the frame and checks the ACL rules against the content of the frame. If any of the rules match the content, a permit or deny action is taken on the frame. ACL Configuration Process Configure ACLs and rules on the Client QoS ACL page (steps 15), and then apply the rules to a specified VAP on the AP QoS Parameters page (step 6). Use the following general steps to configure ACLs:
1.) Specify a name for the ACL. 2.) Select the type of ACL to add. 3.) Add the ACL. 4.) Add new rules to the ACL. 5.) Configure the match criteria for the rules. 6.) Apply the ACL to one or more VAPs. For an example of how to configure an ACL, see ACL Configuration Process on page 90. To configure an ACL, click the Client QoS ACL tab. The fields to configure ACL rules appear only after you have created an ACL. The following image shows the configuration of a new rule for the IPv4 ACL named acl1. The rule prevents HTTP traffic from all clients in the 192.168.20.0 network from being forwarded. The following table describes the fields available on the Client QoS ACL page. Figure 59 - Configure Client QoS ACL Settings Field ACL Configuration ACL Name May 2016 Description Enter a name to identify the ACL. The name can contain from 1 31 alphanumeric characters.

The list contains all ACLs added in the ACL Configuration section. To configure a new rule to add to the selected ACL, select New Rule. To add an existing rule to an ACL or to modify a rule, select the rule number. When an ACL has multiple rules, the rules are applied to the packet or frame in the order in which you add them to the ACL. There is an implicit deny all rule as the final rule. Specifies whether the ACL rule permits or denies an action.
) When you select Permit, the rule allows all traffic that meets the rule criteria to enter or exit the AP (depending on the ACL direction you select). Traffic that does not meet the criteria is dropped.
) When you select Deny, the rule blocks all traffic that meets the rule criteria from entering or exiting the AP (depending on the ACL direction you select). Traffic that does not meet the criteria is forwarded unless this rule is the final rule. Because there is an implicit deny all rule at the end of every ACL, traffic that is not explicitly permitted is dropped. Indicates that the rule, which either has a permit or deny action, will match the frame or packet regardless of its contents. If you select this field, you cannot configure any additional match criteria. The Match Every option is selected by default for a new rule. You must clear the option to configure other match fields. Select the Protocol field to use an L3 or L4 protocol match condition based on the value of the IP Protocol field in IPv4 packets or the Next Header field of IPv6 packets. Once you select the field, choose the protocol to match by keyword or enter a protocol ID. Select From List Select one of the following protocols from the list:

Creating a DiffServ Class Map The Client QoS feature contains Differentiated Services (DiffServ) support that allows traffic to be classified into streams and given certain QoS treatment in accordance with defined per-hop behaviours. Standard IP-based networks are designed to provide best effort data delivery service. Best effort service implies that the network delivers the data in a timely fashion, although there is no guarantee that it will. During times of congestion, packets may be delayed, sent sporadically, or dropped. For typical Internet applications, such as e-mail and file transfer, a slight degradation in service is acceptable and in many cases unnoticeable. However, on applications with strict timing requirements, such as voice or multimedia, any degradation of service has undesirable effects. By classifying the traffic and creating policies that define how to handle these traffic classes, you can make sure that time-sensitive traffic is given precedence over other traffic. The UAP supports up to 50 Class Maps. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 95 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 8 - Configuring Client Quality of Service (QoS) Defining DiffServ To use DiffServ for Client QoS, use the Class Map and Policy Map pages to define the following categories and their criteria:
) Class: create classes and define class criteria
) Policy: create policies, associate classes with policies, and define policy statements Once you define the class and associate it with a policy, apply the policy to a specified VAP on the VAP QoS Parameters page. Packets are classified and processed based on defined criteria. The classification criteria is defined by a class. The processing is defined by a policys attributes. Policy attributes may be defined on a per-class instance basis, and it is these attributes that are applied when a match occurs. A policy can contain multiple classes. When the policy is active, the actions taken depend on which class matches the packet. Packet processing begins by testing the class match criteria for a packet. A policy is applied to a packet when a class match within that policy is found. DiffServ is supported for IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Use the Class Map page to add a new Diffserv class name, or to rename or delete an existing class, and define the criteria to associate with the DiffServ class. To configure a DiffServ Class Map, click the Class Map tab. Note: The Class Map page displays the Match Criteria Configuration fields only if a Class Map has been created. To create a Class Map, enter a name in the Class Map Name field and click Add Class Map.

Table 56 - Client QoS Status Configuring RADIUS-Assigned Client QoS Parameters If a VAP is configured to use WPA Enterprise security, you can include client QoS information in the client database on the RADIUS server. When a client successfully authenticates, the RADIUS server can include bandwidth limits and identify the ACLs and DiffServ policies to apply to the specific wireless client. ACLs and DiffServ policies referenced in the RADIUS client database must match the names of the ACLs and DiffServ policies configured on the AP to be successfully applied to the wireless clients. The following table describes the QoS attributes that can be included in the clients RADIUS server entry. If a wireless client successfully authenticates using WPA Enterprise, each QoS RADIUS attribute that exists for the client is sent to the AP for processing. The attributes are optional and do not need to be present in the client entry. If the attribute is not present, the Client QoS setting on the AP is used.

Table 57 - Client QoS RADIUS Attributes May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 103 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs The UAP supports AP clusters. A cluster provides a single point of administration and lets you view, deploy, configure, and secure the wireless network as a single entity rather than a series of separate wireless devices. Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Managing Cluster Access Points in the Cluster The AP cluster is a dynamic, configuration-aware group of APs in the same subnet of a network. Each cluster can have up to 8 members. Only one cluster per wireless network is supported; however, a network subnet can have multiple clusters. Clusters can share various configuration information, such as VAP settings and QoS queue parameters. A cluster can be formed between two APs if the following conditions are met:
) The APs are identical models.
) The APs are connected on the same bridged segment.
) The APs joining the cluster have the same Cluster Name.
) Clustering mode is enabled on both APs. Note: For two APs to be in the same cluster, they do not need to have the same number of radios;
however, the supported capabilities of the radios should be same. Note: DWL-6700AP doesnt support clustering. Clustering APs Only identical models may be clustered together. For example, the DWL-2600AP can only form a cluster with other DWL-2600APs. Viewing and Configuring Cluster Members The Access Points page allows you to start or stop clustering on an AP, view the cluster members, and configure the location and cluster name for a cluster member. From the Access Points page, you can also click the IP address of each cluster member to navigate to configuration settings and data on an access point in the cluster. To view information about cluster members and to configure the location and cluster of an individual member, click the Access Points tab. The following figure shows the Cluster > Access Points page when clustering is not enabled. Figure 63 - Manage Access Points In The Cluster (Passive) The following figure shows the Cluster > Access Points page when clustering is enabled and two access points are in the cluster. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 104 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Figure 64 - Manage Access Points In The Cluster (Active) If clustering is currently disabled on the AP, the Start Clustering button is visible. If clustering is enabled, the Stop Clustering button is visible. You can edit the clustering option information when clustering is disabled. The following table describes the configuration and status information available on the cluster Access Points page. Field Status Location MAC Address IP Address Description If the status field is visible, then the AP is enabled for clustering. If clustering is not enabled, then the AP is operating in stand-alone mode and none of the information in this table is visible. To disable clustering on the AP, click Stop Clustering. Description of where the access point is physically located. Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point. The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge (br0). This is the address by which the AP is known externally to other networks. Specifies the IP address for the access point. Each IP address is a link to the Administration Web pages for that access point. You can use the links to navigate to the Administration Web pages for a specific access point. This is useful for viewing data on a specific access point to make sure a cluster member is picking up cluster configuration changes, to configure advanced settings on a particular access point, or to switch a standalone access point to cluster mode. Table 58 - Access Points in the Cluster The following table describes the cluster information to configure for an individual member. The clustering options are read-only when clustering is enabled. To configure the clustering options, you must stop clustering. Field Location Cluster Name Clustering IP Version Description Enter a description of where the access point is physically located. Enter the name of the cluster for the AP to join. The cluster name is not sent to other APs in the cluster. You must configure the same cluster name on each AP that is a member of the cluster. The cluster name must be unique for each cluster you configure on the network. Specify the IP version that the APs in the cluster use to communicate with each other. Table 59 - Cluster Options May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 105 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Removing an Access Point from the Cluster Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs To remove an access point from the cluster, do the following. 1.) Go to the Administration Web pages for the clustered access point. The Administration Web pages for the standalone access point are displayed. 2.) Click the Cluster > Access Points link in the Administration pages. 3.) Click Stop Clustering. 4.) The change will be reflected under Status for that access point; the access point will now show as stand-alone
(instead of cluster). Adding an Access Point to a Cluster To add an access point that is currently in standalone mode back into a cluster, do the following. 1.) Go to the Administration Web pages for the standalone access point. 2.) Click the Cluster > Access Points link in the Administration pages for the stand-alone access point. The Access Points page for a standalone access point indicates that the current mode is standalone. 3.) Type the name or location of the AP in the Location field to identify the AP within the cluster. 4.) Type the name of the cluster for the AP to join in the Cluster Name field. 5.) Click Start Clustering. 6.) The access point is now a cluster member. Its Status (Mode) on the Cluster > Access Points page now indicates Cluster instead of Not Clustered. Navigating to Configuration Information for a Specific AP In general, the UAP is designed for central management of clustered access points. For access points in a cluster, all access points in the cluster reflect the same configuration. In this case, it does not matter which access point you actually connect to for administration. There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a particular access point. For example, you might want to check status information such as client associations or events for an access point. In this case, you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by clicking the IP address links on the Access Points page. All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navigate to clustered access points, you can simply click on the IP address for a specific cluster member shown in the list. Navigating to an AP by Using its IP Address in a URL You can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specific access point, by entering the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a Web browser address bar in the following form:
http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want to monitor or configure. Managing Cluster Sessions The Sessions page shows information about client stations associated with access points in the cluster. Each client is identified by its MAC address, along with the AP (location) to which it is currently connected. To view a particular statistic for client sessions, select an item from the Display drop-down list and click Go. You can view information about idle time, data rate, signal strength and so on; all of which are described in detail in the table below. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 106 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device (station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection for some other reason. Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Note: A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to a particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered AP to another within the context of the same session. A client station can roam between APs and maintain the session. To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click Cluster > Sessions. Details about the session information shown is described in the following table. Figure 65 - Manage Sessions Associated With The Cluster Field AP Location User MAC Idle Rate Signal Rx Total Tx Total Error Rate Description Indicates the location of the access point. This is derived from the location description specified on the Basic Settings page. Indicates the MAC address of the wireless client device. A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. Indicates the amount of time this station has remained inactive. A station is considered to be idle when it is not receiving or transmitting data. The speed at which this access point is transferring data to the specified client. The data transmission rate is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). This value should fall within the range of the advertised rate set for the mode in use on the access point. For example, 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a. Indicates the strength of the radio frequency (RF) signal the client receives from the access point. The measure used for this is a value known as Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and will be a value between 0 and 100. RSSI is determined by a mechanism implemented on the network interface card (NIC) of the client station. Indicates number of total packets received by the client during the current session. Indicates number of total packets transmitted to the client during this session. Indicates the percentage of time frames are dropped during transmission on this access point. Table 60 - Session Management Sorting Session Information To sort the information shown in the tables by a particular indicator, click the column label by which you want to order things. For example, if you want to see the table rows ordered by signal strength, click the Signal column label. The entries will be sorted by signal strength. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 107 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Configuring and Viewing Channel Management Settings When Channel Management is enabled, the UAP automatically assigns radio channels used by clustered access points. The automatic channel assignment reduces mutual interference (or interference with other access points outside of its cluster) and maximizes Wi-Fi bandwidth to help maintain the efficiency of communication over the wireless network. You must start channel management to get automatic channel assignments; it is disabled by default on a new AP. At a specified interval, the Channel Manager maps APs to channel use and measures interference levels in the cluster. If significant channel interference is detected, the Channel Manager automatically re-assigns some or all of the APs to new channels per an efficiency algorithm (or automated channel plan). If the Channel Manager determines that a change is necessary, that information is sent to all members of the cluster and a syslog message is generated indicating the sender AP, new and old channel assignments. The Channel Management page shows previous, current, and planned channel assignments for clustered access points. By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled. You can start channel management to optimize channel usage across the cluster on a scheduled interval. To configure and view the channel assignments for the cluster members, click the Channel Management tab. Figure 66 - Automatically Manage Channel Assignments From this page, you can view channel assignments for all APs in the cluster and stop or start automatic channel management. By using the Advanced settings on the page, you can modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-configure the channel set used for assignments. Stopping/Starting Automatic Channel Assignment By default, automatic channel assignment is disabled (off). Note: Channel Management overrides the default cluster behavior, which is to synchronize radio channels of all APs across a cluster. When Channel Management is enabled, the radio Channel is not synced across the cluster to other APs.
) Click Start to resume automatic channel assignment. When automatic channel assignment is enabled, the Channel Manager periodically maps radio channels used by clustered access points and, if necessary, re-assigns channels on clustered APs to reduce interference (with cluster members or other APs outside the cluster).
) Click Stop to stop automatic channel assignment. (No channel usage maps or channel re-assignments will be made. Only manual updates will affect the channel assignment.) May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 108 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Viewing Current Channel Assignments and Setting Locks The Current Channel Assignments section shows a list of all access points in the cluster by IP Address. The display shows the band on which each AP is broadcasting (a/b/g/n), the current channel used by each AP, and an option to lock an AP on its current radio channel so that it cannot be re-assigned to another. The following table provides details about Current Channel Assignments. Field IP Address Radio Band Current Status Locked Description Specifies the IP Address for the access point. Identifies the MAC address of the radio. Indicates the band on which the access point is broadcasting. Indicates the radio Channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting. Shows whether the radio is up (on) or down (off). Click Locked to force the access point to remain on the current channel. When Locked is selected (enabled) for an access point, automated channel management plans will not re-assign the AP to a different channel as a part of the optimization strategy. Instead, APs with locked channels will be factored in as requirements for the plan. If you click Apply, you will see that locked APs show the same channel for the Current Channel and Proposed Channel fields. Locked APs will keep their current channels. Table 61 - Channel Assignments Viewing the Last Proposed Set of Changes The Proposed Channel Assignments shows the last channel plan. The plan lists all access points in the cluster by IP Address, and shows the current and proposed channels for each AP. Locked channels will not be re-assigned and the optimization of channel distribution among APs will take into account the fact that locked APs must remain on their current channels. APs that are not locked may be assigned to different channels than they were previously using, depending on the results of the plan. Field IP Address Radio Proposed Channel Description Specifies the IP Address for the access point. Indicates the radio channel on which this access point is currently broadcasting. Indicates the radio channel to which this access point would be re-assigned if the Channel Plan is executed. Table 62 - Last Proposed Changes Configuring Advanced Settings The advanced settings allow you to customize and schedule the channel plan for the cluster. If you use Channel Management as provided (without updating Advanced Settings), channels are automatically fine-tuned once every hour if interference can be reduced by 25 percent or more. Channels will be re-assigned even if the network is busy. The appropriate channel sets will be used (b/g for APs using IEEE 802.11b/g and a for APs using IEEE 802.11a). The default settings are designed to satisfy most scenarios where you would need to implement channel management. Use Advanced Settings to modify the interference reduction potential that triggers channel re-assignment, change the schedule for automatic updates, and re-configure the channel set used for assignments. If there are no fields showing in the Advanced section, click the toggle button to display the settings that modify timing and details of the channel planning algorithm. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 109 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs Field Change channels if interference is reduced by at least Determine if there is better set of channels every Description Specify the minimum percentage of interference reduction a proposed plan must achieve in order to be applied. The default is 75 percent. Use the drop-down menu to choose percentages ranging from 5 percent to 75 percent. This setting lets you set a gating factor for channel re-assignment so that the network is not continually disrupted for minimal gains in efficiency. For example, if channel interference must be reduced by 75 percent and the proposed channel assignments will only reduce interference by 30 percent, then channels will not be re-assigned. However; if you re-set the minimal channel interference benefit to 25 percent and click Apply, the proposed channel plan will be implemented and channels re-assigned as needed. Use the drop-down menu to specify the schedule for automated updates. A range of intervals is provided, from 30 Minutes to 6 Months The default is 1 Hour (channel usage re-assessed and the resulting channel plan applied every hour). Table 63 - Advanced Channel Management Settings Click Apply under Advanced settings to apply these settings. Advanced settings will take effect when they are applied and influence how automatic channel management is performed. Viewing Wireless Neighborhood Information The Wireless Neighborhood shows up to 20 access points per radio within range of every member of the cluster, shows which access points are within range of which cluster members, and distinguishes between cluster members and non-members. Note: The Wireless Neighborhood page shows up to 20 access points per radio. To see all the access points detected on a given cluster access point, navigate to that cluster members web interface and go to the Status > Neighboring Access Points page. For each neighbor access point, the Wireless Neighborhood view shows identifying information (SSID or Network Name, IP Address, MAC address) along with radio statistics (signal strength, channel, beacon interval). You can click on an AP to get additional statistics about the APs in radio range of the currently selected AP. The Wireless Neighborhood view can help you:
) Detect and locate unexpected (or rogue) access points in a wireless domain so that you can take action to limit associated risks
) Verify coverage expectations. By assessing which APs are visible at what signal strength from other APs, you can verify that the deployment meets your planning goals.
) Detect faults. Unexpected changes in the coverage pattern are evident at a glance in the color coded table. May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 110 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs The following table describes details about the Wireless Neighborhood information. Figure 67 - View Neighboring Access Points Field Display neighboring APs Description Click one of the following radio buttons to change the view:
) In cluster Shows only neighbor APs that are members of the cluster
) Not in cluster Shows only neighbor APs that are not cluster members
) Both Shows all neighbor APs (cluster members and non-members) Cluster Neighbors The Cluster list at the top of the table shows IP addresses for all access points in the cluster.
(This is the same list of cluster members shown on the Cluster > Access Points tab.) If there is only one AP in the cluster, only a single IP address column will be displayed here;
indicating that the AP is clustered with itself. You can click on an IP address to view more details on a particular AP. Access points which are neighbors of one or more of the clustered APs are listed in the left column by SSID (Network Name). An access point which is detected as a neighbor of a cluster member can also be a cluster member itself. Neighbors who are also cluster members are always shown at the top of the list with a heavy bar above and include a location indicator. The colored bars to the right of each AP in the Neighbors list shows the signal strength for each of the neighbor APs as detected by the cluster member whose IP address is shown at the top of the column. The color of the bar indicates the signal strength:
) Dark Blue Bar A dark blue bar and a high signal strength number (for example 50) indicates good signal strength detected from the Neighbor seen by the AP whose IP address is listed above that column.
) Lighter Blue Bar A lighter blue bar and a lower signal strength number (for example 20 or lower) indicates medium or weak signal strength from the Neighbor seen by the AP whose IP address is listed above that column
) White Bar A white bar and the number 0 indicates that a neighboring AP that was detected by one of the cluster members cannot be detected by the AP whose IP address if listed above that column.
) Light Gray Bar A light gray bar and no signal strength number indicates a Neighbor that is detected by other cluster members but not by the AP whose IP address is listed above that column.
) Dark Gray Bar A dark gray bar and no signal strength number indicates this is the AP whose IP address is listed above that column (since it is not applicable to show how well the AP can detect itself). Table 64 - Wireless Neighborhood Information May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 111 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Viewing Details for a Cluster Member To view details on a cluster member AP, click on the IP address of a cluster member at the top of the page. The following figure shows the Neighbor Details of the AP with an IP address of 10.90.90.91. Section 9 - Clustering Multiple APs The following table explains the details shown about the selected AP. Figure 68 - Viewing Details For A Cluster Member Field SSID MAC Address Channel Rate Signal Beacon Interval Beacon Age Description The Service Set Identifier (SSID) for the access point. The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to as the Network Name. A Guest network and an Internal network running on the same access point must always have two different network names. Shows the MAC address of the neighboring access point. A MAC address is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. Shows the channel on which the access point is currently broadcasting. The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses for transmitting and receiving. Shows the rate (in megabits per second) at which this access point is currently transmitting. The current rate will always be one of the rates shown in Supported Rates. Indicates the strength of the radio signal emitting from this access point as measured in decibels (Db). Shows the Beacon interval being used by this access point. Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second). Shows the date and time of the last beacon received from this access point.

May 2016 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Page 120 Unified Access Point Administrators Guide Appendix B - Configuration Examples Configuring Client QoS This example shows how to enable client QoS, configure an ACL and a DiffServ policy on the AP, and to apply the ACL and the Policy to traffic transmitted from clients associated with VAP 2 and received by the AP. The IPv4 ACL is named acl1 and contains two rules. The first rule allows HTTP traffic from the 192.168.1.0 subnet. The second rule allows all IP traffic from the management station (192.168.1.23). All other traffic is denied due to the implicit deny all rule at the end of the ACL. The ACL is applied to the inbound interface on the AP so that packets are checked when the AP receives traffic from associated clients. The DiffServ policy in this example shows how to establish default DiffServ behavior for clients associating with the VAP that do not obtain a DiffServ policy name through the RADIUS server. Voice traffic (UDP packets) received from clients in the 192.168.1.0 subnet that has the VoIP server as its destination address (192.168.2.200), is marked with the IP DSCP value for expedited forwarding so that it takes priority over other traffic. Configuring QoS by Using the Web Interface ACL Configuration 1.) Log onto the AP and navigate to the Client QoS > Client QoS ACL page. 2.) Enter acl1in the ACL Name field, and click Add ACL.
