WLAN—How to Configure Advanced Settings
The lower section of the WLAN screen provides several settings that the administrator
might need to modify; however, the default settings are usually sufficient for most
installations.
1. Check the Disallow MU to MU Communications checkbox to enable a
communication block between mobile units (MUs) using this WLAN. Such
communication might be a security issue, for example, on a corporate network. Leave
this checkbox unchecked (default setting) to allow MU-to-MU communications on this
WLAN.
2. Check the Use Voice Prioritization checkbox to enable WLAN prioritization of
voice over data transmissions. This reduces the latency that might occur when data
transmissions and Voice over IP (VoIP) transmissions compete for the same resources.
Latency is experienced as broken or delayed speech or sound. Disable this option if
VoIP equipment is not in use on this WLAN. The default setting is unchecked.
3. Check the Answer Broadcast ESS checkbox to enable adopted Access Ports to transmit
the WLAN’s Extended Service Set Identification (ESSID). The purpose of allowing
WLANs to answer the broadcast ESS is to identify Access Ports that are associated with
the WLAN. This might be appropriate, for example, in a customer environment, such as
a “hot spot.”
4. Disable this option if broadcasting the WLAN’s ESSID poses a security risk, such as on
a private, corporate network. The default setting is unchecked.
