NoteIf you disable all radios on an AP Profile, it is possible to apply the profile to APs of other Profile Types, this profile will not be valid. Make sure you apply an appropriate AP Profile to APs. |
| Band | NoteThis item is not supported. |
| Mode | Select a mode (protocol) to use on the Radio band. Available modes vary depending on the selected Profile Type.
|
| Bandwidth | Specify the bandwidth to use. IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac, and IEEE 802.11ax allow two or four adjacent channels to be combined and used as a 40MHz or 80MHz bandwidth channel.
"40MHz", "80MHz", and "80+80MHz" give you higher traffic rates, but exhaust the number of available channels because they use two, four, or eight channels. This item is only displayed when the selected mode includes IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac or IEEE 802.11ax. |
| Use Conditions | Specify when to use the wireless feature. Select "Always" to always use the wireless feature. Select "Only Emergency Mode" to use the radio band only in emergency mode. The default is "Always". Refer to Enable Emergency Mode for more details. NoteEmergency Mode cannot be used with channel blanket. You cannot use a channel blanket as an emergency Wi-Fi network. |

Otherwise select "Enable". The default is "Disable". When the setting type is "Dual[11ax] GEN2" and this item is set to "Disabled", settings can be made for individual VAPs at "Wireless Client Isolation" under the VAP (Multi-SSID) Configuration. |
| Airtime Fairness | Specify whether to give each client an equal amount of airtime regardless of its speed. Select "Enable" to use Air Time Fairness. Otherwise select "Disable". The default is "Disable".NoteThis item is displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow". |
| Management Frame Protection (MFP) | Specify whether to protect Management Frames. Select "Enable" to use MFP. Otherwise select "Disable". The default is "Enable".NoteThis item is displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for Profile Type. NoteIf you select "TQ Series" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type, configure per VAP in the "VAP (Multiple SSID) Configuration" section. |
| Auto Channel Selection | Specify the channels to use. All channels are selected by default. When the Channel Bandwidth "80MHz" is selected on the 5GHz radio band (Radio 2 or 3), you can enable or disable the four adjacent channels as a group, for example "36ch/40ch/44ch/48ch". At least one group must be enabled for Auto Channel Selection when "80MHz" is selected for Channel Bandwidth. |
| Maximum Wireless Clients | Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to the APs. This number counts wireless clients on all radios (Radio 1 to Radio 3). When 0 is specified for a radio, no wireless client can connect to APs on the radio.
|
| Multicast Tx Rate | Specify a selection method for IEEE 802.3 multicast/broadcast rate. Available options vary depending on the selected Profile Type.
|
| Fixed Tx Rate | Specify the fixed multicast transmission rate used when "Fixed" is selected for "Multicast Tx Rate".
NoteThis item is displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for Profile Type. |
| Legacy Rate Sets | Specify valid rates to use when IEEE 802.11b/g or IEEE 802.11a is being used. Available options vary depending on the selected Profile Type.
NoteThis item is displayed when: |
| RTS Threshold | Specify the threshold for sending RTS (Request to Send) packets for IEEE 802.11b/g/a. When a packet to send is larger than the specifed size, RTS is transmitted before the packet is sent.
If you set the RTS threshold to a lower value, RTS packets are transmitted more frequently. It consumes more bandwidth and reduces throughput, but may alleviate collision and interference in a crowded network. Therefore we do not recommend changing the RTS threshold under normal circumstances. When using IEEE 802.11n or 802.11ac, RTS packets are transmitted regardless of the RTS Threshold setting. NoteIf you select "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type, and "IEEE 802.11a/n/ac" for Mode, RTS packets are not sent to wireless clients connected by IEEE 802.11a. This setting is ignored. NoteThis item is displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow". |
| DTIM Period | Specify how frequently to insert a DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Map) in the AP's beacons (every 1 to 255 beacons) This item is displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for Profile Type. The default is 1. The value of 1 means that a DTIM is inserted in every beacon. For example, if you set the DTIM interval to 2, one in two beacons has a DTIM inserted (i.e. a beacon with a DTIM and one without a DTIM are transmitted in turn). When a wireless client operates in power-saving mode, DTIM notifies the client that there is a packet to send to the client. The AP will send the packet to the client once the client is ready to communicate. Increasing the DTIM Interval reduces power consumption but also makes communication less responsive. NoteIf you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]" or "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" for Profile Type, configure per VAP in the "VAP (Multiple SSID) Configuration" section. |
| Band Steering | Specify whether to use Band Steering.
The default is "Disable". This item is displayed only for "Radio 1" (2.4GHz). To use this feature, make sure you enable two or more bands (Radio 1, 2 and 3) and configure a VAP with the same SSID and security for each radio. NoteThese options will be displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type. NoteBand Steering cannot be used with channel blanket. Disable Band Steering on the AP Profile for APs using channel blanket. |
| Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) | Specify whether to use Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM). When enabled, WMM information is included in the AP beacon. This shortens the frame transmission interval for video/audio streaming and VoIP traffic and therefore keeps communication quality high. The default is "Enable". NoteThese options will be displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type. NoteTo use IEEE 802.11n IEEE 802.11ac or IEEE 802.11ax, this must be enabled. |
| APSD | Specify whether to use APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery). Enabling APSD can lower power consumption of mobile devices (VoIP) and therefore increase the battery life. The mobile device should also support APSD (U-APSD). The default setting varies depending on the selected Profile Type.
NoteThese options will be displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type. |
| Neighbor AP Detection | Specify whether to detect Neighbor APs. When enabled, it scans in-use and other channels of the radio band for AWC Calculation. In this case, the channel currently being used is periodically stopped, so the performance of the wireless network service slightly decreases. When disabled, detection does not work. In this case, the effect of surrounding unmanaged APs may not be correctly reflected in the AWC Calculation. The default is "Enable". NoteThese options will be displayed if you select "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type. NoteIf Neighbor AP Detection is supported on the management web interface of the AP system and set to "Enable" in the AWC Plug-in management, the Neighbor AP Detection setting will remain as "Enable". |
| MU-MIMO | Select whether to enable or disable MU-MIMO (Multi-user MIMO). MU-MIMO allows multiple wireless clients to communicate simultaneously (upwards and downwards), thus increasing the communication speed. The default is "Disable". NoteThis setting is displayed when "Dual[11ax] GEN2" or "Dual[11ax]" is selected as Profile Type. |
| OFDMA | Select whether to Enable or Disable OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). OFDMA allows multiple wireless clients to communicate simultaneously by dividing the channel into multiple RUs (resource units). The default is "Disable". NoteThis item is displayed when "Dual[11ax] GEN2" or "Dual[11ax]" is selected as the Profile Type and a mode other than "a" or "b/g" is selected for the Radio Configuration. |

NoteWhen using the dynamic VLAN feature of WPA Enterprise together, if a VLAN is assigned by the RADIUS server, the wireless device will be assigned to the VLAN ID of the dynamic VLAN.
If a VLAN is not assigned by the RADIUS server, the wireless device will be assigned to the VLAN ID specified by the AMF Application Server. If a VLAN is neither assigned by the RADIUS server nor assigned by the security policy on the AMF Application Proxy server, the wireless device will be assigned to the VLAN ID of VAP.
If the action on the AMF application proxy server side is quarantine, the VLAN ID of quarantine network will be applied regardless whether the dynamic VLAN has a VLAN ID or not.
NoteWhen using the Dynamic VLAN feature of WPA Enterprise together, the VLAN IDs of wireless clients already connected to the network will not be changed even if the VLAN ID of the network specified in the security policy of the AMF application proxy server is changed.
NoteIf a wireless client already connected to a Quarantine VLAN is allowed by the AMF application proxy server to connect to the VLAN ID of the network specified in the security policy, the VLAN ID of the wireless client will be changed to the VLAN ID of the network specified in the security policy.
However, if a high-priority action results in an assignment from one quarantine VLAN to another quarantine VLAN, the VLAN ID to which the wireless client belongs will not change.
NoteMAC Access Control with AMF Application Proxy cannot be used with Channel Blanket. If you want to use the AP as part of a Channel Blanket, do not assign the AP profile which the MAC Access Control with AMF Application Proxy is enabled.
