Here you find the general settings for WLAN security.
LANconfig:
- Traffic between different SSIDs
- Depending on the application, it may be required that the WLAN clients connected to an AP can—or expressly cannot—communicate with other clients. Communications between clients in different SSIDs can be allowed or stopped with this option. For models with multiple WLAN modules, this setting applies globally to all WLANs and all modules.
Important: Communications between clients in a logical WLAN is controlled separately by the logical WLAN settings (Inter-Station-Traffic). If the Inter-SSID-Traffic is activated and the Inter-Station-Traffic deactivated, a client in one logical WLAN can communicate with clients in another logical WLAN. This option can be prevented with the VLAN settings or protocol filter.
- Monitor stations to detect stations that are inactive
- In particular for public WLAN access points (public spots), the charging of usage fees requires the recognition of stations that are no longer active. Monitoring involves the AP regularly sending packets to logged-in stations. If the stations do not answer these packets, then the charging systems recognizes the station as no longer active.
- Mobile stations can switch between base stations in the local network (roaming)
- In addition to controlling the communication between clients, you can also define whether neighboring access points can exchange information via the inter-access point protocol IAPP. The IAPP is a protocol for communication between APs. The "handoff AP" receives information that a WLAN client associated with it is switching to another AP, and that the client can be removed from its list.
- Stations idle-timeout after ... seconds
- Specify a duration in seconds after which inactive stations are removed from the list of currently connected stations.
- IAPP network
- Roaming information exchanged via the IAPP protocol may cause high network loads. For this reason we advise that you select an ARF network to be used for the IAPP communications.
