Configure AP Profiles
This section explains how to create, edit, and delete AP Profiles.
NoteFor TQ series APs, LLDP, Ethernet, and HTTP/HTTPS configuration is only possible from the AP's own management web interface. Please follow the steps described in Configure AP through Its Own Web Interface to perform that configuration.
For detailed explanation on configuring TQ series APs, refer to the "TQ series Reference Manual" on our website.
NoteAP Profile and AP-specific configuration created in the AWC Plug-in are not instantly applied to wireless APs. They will be applied to APs when:
- an AP is put under the AWC Plug-in's control
- a user manually applys configuration
- a scheduled task for applying configuration is run.
Create AP Profile
NoteTo monitor an AP, you have to assign an AP Profile to the AP which has been added to the AWC Plug-in's database.
- Select "Wireless Configuration" > "AP Profile" from the AWC Plug-in menu.
The AP Profile list screen will appear.

- Click "Create" at the top right corner.

◼ Profile Types except Dual[11ax] GEN2-R

| Item Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Radio Transmission | Specify whether to transmit/receive in the selected frequency band. Select "Enable" to use the radio. Otherwise select "Disable" (mandatory) The default is "Enable" for all radio frequencies. However, depending on the Country and Profile Type selected, there may be cases where "Enable" cannot be selected due to legal restrictions. (For example: "JP-Japan" as Country, "Tri [11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" as Profile Type, and "Outdoor" as Location, Radio 2 (W52 / W53) only has the option "Disable"). 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. In addition, 6 GHz radio 3 capable models can be used as 160 MHz bandwidth channels when a mode including IEEE 802.11ax support is selected.
"40MHz", "80MHz", "80+80MHz", and "160MHz" 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. |
| Wireless Client Isolation | Specifies whether all VAPs in the relevant radio band are allowed to communicate with other connected wireless clients. The operation of this function depends on the profile type.
|
| Airtime Fairness | Specify whether to give each client an equal amount of airtime regardless of its speed. Available options vary depending on the selected Profile Type.
|
| Management Frame Protection | Specify whether to protect management frames from eavesdropping and forging. Select "Enable" to use MFP. Otherwise select "Disable". The default is "Enable".NoteThis setting is displayed when "Dual[11ac]" is selected as Profile Type. NoteIf you select "TQ Series" for Series, and "Tri[11ax]", "Tri[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "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" or "160MHz" is selected on the 5GHz/6GHz radio band (Radio 2 or 3), you can enable or disable the four or eight adjacent channels as a group, for example "36ch/40ch/44ch/48ch". At least one group must be enabled for Auto Channel Selection when "80MHz" or "160MHz" is selected for Channel Bandwidth. If Tri[11ax] is selected as the setting type, the "Preferred Scanning Channel" button is also displayed for Radio 3. Clicking on the "Preferred Scanning Channel" button causes only the preferred scanning channels to be selected according to the selected bandwidth in use. |
| Maximum Wireless Clients | Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to the APs. The number of wireless clients that can connect to the AP counts for each wireless band (Wireless 1 to Wireless 3). When 0 is specified for a radio, no wireless client can connect to APs on the radio. NoteIf "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" is selected for the Series, and "Dual[11ac]" is selected for the Profile Type, the maximum number of wireless clients is counted as the sum of all radio bands (Radio 1 to Radio 2).
|
| 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 setting is displayed when "Dual[11ac]" is selected as 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 if you select "TQ Series" for Series. |
| 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. |
| DTIM Period | Specify how frequently to insert a DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Map) in the AP's beacons (every 1 to 255 beacons) This setting is displayed when "Dual[11ac]" is selected as 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 "Tri[11ax]", "Tri[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "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. NoteThis item is displayed if you select "Tri[11ax]", "Tri[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for the 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".

| Pre-authentication | When enabled and a client is about to roam, the source (current) AP forwards the client's pre-authentication information to the destination AP. The default is "Enable". This reduces the time required for authentication of roaming clients. This is only available for TQ series. NoteThis can be configured only on VAP1 of each radio. When you select "Enable", this function is valid for all VAP. |
| WPA versions | Select the WPA version(s) to use. Radio 2: You can select "WPA3" only, "WPA2" only, or both "WPA" and "WPA2". You cannot select both "WPA3" and "WPA2", or both "WPA3" and "WPA". Additionally, "WPA" can be selected only together with "WPA2". The default is "WPA2". Select both for a mixed environment. In that case, the security level of the wireless network is the same as WPA. NoteWPA is based on a draft of IEEE 802.11i while WPA2 is based on the final version of IEEE 802.11i and therefore meets all mandatory items required by the standard. |
| Encryption Protocol | You can select "CCMP" only, or both "TKIP" and "CCMP". The default is "CCMP". Although "TKIP" uses RC4 as WEP does, TKIP uses a separate encryption key for each client and changes the key after using it for some time. "CCMP" uses the standard encryption algorithm approved by the US Secretary of Commerce. This standard has a strong algorithm. NoteAccording to the WPA standard, TKIP is mandatory while CCMP is optional. Our products implement both algorithms. NoteIf the WPA version includes "WPA3", only "CCMP" can be selected. "TKIP" is not displayed. NoteIf the WPA version is set to "WPA2", or both "WPA2" and "WPA", "TKIP" can be selected as necessary. |
| Management Frame Protection | Specify whether to protect management frames from eavesdropping and forging. Specify "Required" if you want the MFP mandatory for client association, "Capable" if you want it optionally, or "Disabled" if you don't want the management frames protected. The default is "Capable". NoteIf the WPA version includes "WPA3", only "CCMP" can be selected. If the WPA version includes "WPA", only "Disable" can be selected. NoteIf the Profile Type is set to "Dual[11ax] GEN2", and the WPA version is set to "WPA2" solely, please do not set to "Required". |
| Broadcast Key Refresh Rate | Specify an interval at which to refresh the broadcast key that is sent to clients on the VAP. Specify an interval between 0 and 86400 (seconds). A value of 0 means that the key is never refreshed. The default is 0. |
| Dynamic VLAN | When enabled, the VLAN included in a RADIUS response is assigned to the user. When disabled, the VLAN configured for the VAP is always applied to the user regardless of the VLAN information in a RADIUS response. The default is "Enable". |

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.
