The settings for the cellular networks are made at various points in the configuration:
- Some parameters concern the physical WLAN interfaces. Some LANCOM models have just one WLAN interface (single radio), and others have a second WLAN module integrated (dual radio). The settings for the physical WLAN interface apply to all of the logical wireless networks supported by this module. These parameters include, for example, the transmission power of the antenna and the operating mode of the WLAN module (AP or client).
- Other parameters are related solely to the logical wireless network that is supported by a physical interface. These include, for example, the SSID or the activation of encryption, such as 802.11i with AES.
- A third group of parameters affect the wireless network operation, but are not significant only to WLANs. These include, for example, the protocol filter in the LAN bridge.
