### VAP (Multiple SSID) Configuration

Table 3: VAP (Multiple SSID) Configuration
Item Name | Description
--- | ---
CB VAP List | Shows a list of configured CB VAPs. This includes the status, radio band, VAP number, SSID and security setting of the CB VAP.
+ Add VAP | Creates a new CB VAP. A CB VAP name is assigned a number sequentially from 1. Note that the number in the CB VAP Name has nothing to do with the "VAP Number" (described later) for the CB VAP. The number of VAPs that can be created depends on the AP model you select. TQ6702 GEN2 / TQ6602 GEN2: 7 CB VAPs for each radio band (Radio 1 - 2.4GHz and Radio 2 - 5GHz W52), i.e. 14 CB VAPs in total TQ6602: 10 CB VAPs for each radio band (Radio 1 - 2.4GHz and Radio 2 - 5GHz W52), i.e. 20 CB VAPs in total TQ5403 / TQ5403e: 3 CB VAPs for each radio band (Radio 1 - 2.4GHz and Radio 2 - 5GHz W52), i.e. 6 CB VAPs in total Note It is recommended to use 5 or less VAPs per radio band in total, including both multi-channel and blanket VAPs.
Radio | Select a radio band to use for this CB VAP, from Radio 1 (2.4GHz) and Radio 2 (5GHz W52) (mandatory) Note "Radio 2 - 5GHz W53" and "Radio 3 - W56" cannot be used for CB VAPs. Note When applying a CB profile to TQ6602, TQ6602 GEN2, and TQ6702 GEN2, if the bandwidth is set to 80+80MHz in Radio 2 of the AP profile, only W52 is used, because W53 cannot be used for CB VAP. The APs will operate with the 80 MHz bandwidth in that radio band.
VAP | Specify a CB VAP Number (mandatory). This can be specified as a number between 1 to 8 for TQ5403 and TQ5403e, and 1 to 16 for TQ6602, TQ6602 GEN2, and TQ6702 GEN2. If you specify the same number for a CB Profile as an existing AP Profile, the CB VAP is used for the number (the AP Profile's VAP with the number is not used because it is overriden by the CB VAP with the same number). Note If you do not use multi-channel networks, create a dummy multi-channel VAP 1 in an AP Profile, then create a CB VAP with the "VAP number" of 1 to override the dummy multi-channel VAP. We recommend you configure security on the dummy VAP too.
Channel | Select a channel to use for this CB VAP (mandatory) Radio 1: 1ch to 13ch Radio 2 (W52) : 36ch, 40ch, 44ch, 48ch Note Select a channel according to the bandwidth used for the corresponding band set in the AP Profile. For example, if the bandwidth used for Radio 2 is 40MHz, when creating CB VAP for Radio 2, select the channel from either 36ch or 44ch. 40ch and 48ch are not supported. Channels that can be selected can be confirmed by "Auto Channel Selection" in the AP Profile. Note Selecting a channel that is disabled in "Auto Channel Selection" in the AP Profile is not supported.
VAP Status | Enable or disable the CB VAP. If you select "Enable", the CB VAP is enabled on the APs that are applied to the CB Profile. If you select "Disable", the CB VAP is not used. The VAP that is properly configured and enabled in the AP Profile will also be disabled. The default is "Enable".
VLAN ID | Specify a VLAN ID used for communication between the CB VAP and associated clients (mandatory) Note Specify a VLAN ID that is different from the AP's management VLAN. When the AP is detected as a guest device, a parent AMF device is configured to collect the guest device information automatically ("dynamic discovery"), and wireless clients get their IP addresses via DHCP.
SSID | Specify an SSID (network name) to use on the CB VAP. The SSID is mapped to the VLAN ID. Enter a name between 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default is "Default-X" (where X is an automatically assigned CB VAP number) (mandatory)
Broadcast SSID | Specify whether to broadcast the SSID on the CB VAP. When enabled, the SSID is included in beacons. When you configure a wireless client, you may be able to see the SSID in a list of wireless networks to connect. This setting also allows wireless clients to connect using an "ANY" connection. When disabled, the SSID is not included in beacons. You may not be able to see the SSID in a wireless network list on a wireless client. In this case, you have to enter the same SSID as the AP on a wireless client. This setting also denies wireless clients from connecting using an "ANY" connection. The default is "Enable". Note An "ANY" connection is a connection where a wireless client tries to connect to an AP by specifying a wildcard or null as the SSID. Even when an "ANY" connection is allowed, clients cannot connect to APs without knowing the correct security key.
Security | Select a security mechanism to use. The available options are "None", "Static WEP", "WPA Personal", and "WPA Enterprise". The default is "None". Note "Static WEP" can be configured only on VAP1 of each radio. In addition, if the Security is set to Static WEP in the VAP Settings of CB Profile, do not use a "Mode" that contains IEEE 802.11n in the Radio Configuration of the AP Profile. Select IEEE 802.11b/g on Radio 1 or IEEE 802.11a on Radio 2 instead. None: No authentication or encryption is performed. Everyone can connect to the CB VAP. Note If you use "None" to build a network such as a guest hotspot, you should consider the consequences for the overall security of your entire network. Static WEP: Uses RC4 encryption with fixed keys. Per-client authentication is not performed. We recommend using "WPA Personal" for fixed key security because WEP is vulnerable. WPA Personal: Performs authentication and encryption between an AP and a wireless client. It uses per-client keys which are generated from a pre-shared key (PSK). It uses CCMP (AES) as the encryption algorithm. WPA Enterprise: Performs authentication and encryption between an AP and a wireless client. It uses per-client keys which are generated on a RADIUS server. It uses CCMP (AES) as the encryption algorithm. When "Static WEP", "WPA Personal", or "WPA Enterprise" is selected, additional options will be displayed for each security method. For more details, refer to Additional options for Security.
Captive Portal | Specify whether to use Captive Portal on the VAP. Captive Portal displays an authentication page before granting web access. When either option is selected, wireless clients connected to the corresponding CB VAP will be directed to a page (Captive Portal) that contains text such as licensing and authentication dialogs when they attempt to access any web page with a Web browser. Wireless APs that have applied the CB profile will allow or deny wireless clients according to the options specified in this item. Once successfully authenticated, wireless clients can continue to communicate through the VAP until a certain amount of time has elapsed. External RADIUS: The APs will query the RADIUS server. Click-through: The APs will display a Click-through page instead of performing RADIUS authentication. The Click-through page does not require authentication with a username/password pair, but can be configured to show an arbitrary "Terms of Use" that users have to accept before use, or to redirect to an external page. External Page Redirect: The clients will be able to connect using third-party web credentials such as social networking sites. Disable: Select to not use Captive Portal. The default is "Disable". If you select "External RADIUS", "Click-through", or "External Page Redirect", the following additional items are displayed: For more details, refer to Additional options for Captive Portal. Note This setting is displayed when "TQ6702 GEN2 / TQ6602 GEN2" or "TQ6602" is selected as AP Model. Note Do not enable Captive Portal on the radio used for the WDS connection.
MAC Access Control | Select the MAC Access Control method to apply to the relevant VAPs. External RADIUS: The APs will query the RADIUS server. MAC Address List: Selecting this option will allow or deny connections only to the MAC addresses recorded in the list, according to the MAC address list selected in the MAC Address List field. MAC Address List + External RADIUS: Selecting this option allows or denies connections only to the MAC addresses recorded in the list. This list refers to both the MAC address list selected in the MAC address list field at the top of the screen and the external RADIUS server. Firstly, it will try to authenticate using the MAC Address List. If a connection cannot be established, it will try to authenticate the connection using an External RADIUS server. If the preceding MAC address list allows a user to connect, the user can still connect even if the external RADIUS server does not grant the access. Disable: No MAC access control is performed. The default is "Disable". When you select either "External RADIUS" or "MAC Address List + External RADIUS", additional items are also displayed. For more details, refer to Additional options for MAC Access Control. Note When using MAC Access Control with "External RADIUS" on CB VAP, one of the following firmware is required depending on your model. TQ5403 and TQ5403e firmware version 6.0.1-2.x or later TQ6602 firmware version 7.0.1-0.1 or later TQ6602 GEN2 and TQ6702 GEN2 firmware version 8.0.2-1.1 or later Note "MAC Address List" is only available if you have selected "TQ Series" for Series and selected a "MAC Address List" in the "Basic Configuration" section in the AP profile. Note The option "MAC Address List + External RADIUS" is displayed with selecting "TQ5403 / TQ5403e" or "TQ6702 GEN2 / TQ6602 GEN2" for AP model in "Select an AP model that uses AWC-CB" dialog box.
Fast Roaming | Specify whether to use Fast Roaming of wireless clients. The default is "Disable". When you select "Enable", you can configure various fast roaming functions. 802.11r FT FT over DS Mobility Domain R0 key Lifetime AES Key IEEE 802.11k RRM IEEE 802.11v WNM For more details, refer to Additional options for Fast Roaming. Note This setting is displayed when "TQ5403 / TQ5403e" or "TQ6602" is selected as AP Model.
Wireless Client Isolation | Specify whether to block communications between wireless clients connected to the same CB VAP. Select "Disable" to allow communications between wireless clients. Otherwise select "Enable". The default is "Disable".
Inactivity Timer | Note With this version, combining usage with Inactivity Timer is not supported on CB VAPs. Use the default setting. Specify the time, between 5 and 65535 seconds, after which a client will be disconnected if it disappears without disassociating from an AP. It should also be specified in multiples of 15. If you specify a value that is not a multiple of 15, it will be converted to the nearest multiple greater than the specified value. The default is 300 (seconds).
Duplicate AUTH received | Select how to process connection requests from clients that have maintained a connection. If you select "Disconnect", it disconnects the previous connection and then accepts the new connection. If you select "Ignore", it connects as normal, without disconnecting. The default is "Disconnect". Note When "Management Frame Protection" is set to "Capable", "Disconnect" is used regardless of this item's setting.
Association Advertisement | Specify whether to use Association Advertisement. When enabled, a notification broadcast frame is sent to the network configured in Control VLAN when a Wireless Client connects to the AP. The AP that receives this frame updates its wireless client connection information. The default is "Disable". Note To make this function take effect, APs on the same subnet must have "Roaming Notification" set to "Enable" for each other.
DTIM Period | Specify how frequently to insert a DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Map) in the AP's beacons (every 1 to 5 beacons). 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. Note This setting is used for support purposes. We do not recommend changing the value.
RSSI Threshold | Specify the numerical value of the parameter related to beacon control of CB VAP, in the range of 0 to 91. Adjusting this parameter may improve the connection / communication status in a Channel Blanket environment. The default is 30. Note This setting is used for support purposes. We do not recommend changing the value.
Tx Power | The AP's transmission power can be selected from five levels: "Min", "Low", "Middle", "High" and "Max". The default is "Max". Note This setting is used for support purposes. We do not recommend changing the value. Note If you change the Tx Power in the AP-specific configuration settings, the AP-specific setting has priority.
Proxy ARP | Specify whether to use Proxy ARP. If enabled, when a managed wireless AP receives an ARP request for a connected client, the wireless AP that has a connection to the client will send an ARP response on behalf of the client. The wireless AP that does not have a connection to this client will discard the ARP request, thereby reducing unnecessary traffic. If enabled, when a managed wireless AP receives an ARP request for a connected client, the wireless AP that has a connection to the client will send an ARP response on behalf of the client. The wireless AP that does not have a connection to this client will discard the ARP request, thereby reducing unnecessary traffic. In this case, since multiple wireless APs have connections to the client in a channel blanket, the wireless AP with the strongest connection will send the ARP response representing all the connected APs. If you select "Disable", Proxy ARP will not be activated. That means ARP requests are broadcasted from all wireless APs to their subordinate clients. The corresponding clients send ARP responses themselves. The default is "Disable".
Force Power Save Disabled | Specify whether to force the wireless client to disable the wireless power saving setting. Selecting "Enable" will force the wireless power saving setting to be deactivated for the associating clients of the APs under management. Although it may eliminate the unstable connectivity caused by the wireless power saving setting, wireless clients such as laptops, smart phones, and tablets may experience shorter battery life than when this setting is disabled. When "Disable" is selected, the wireless power saving setting will not be removed for the associating clients of the APs under management. Wireless clients such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets may experience longer battery life than when this setting is enabled, but at the same time, their wireless associations may become unstable. The default is "Disable". Note TQ6602 does not support this feature.

WEP Authentication Method | "Open System" is the recommended option here. The default is "Open System". It is recommended to use the default "Open System" for security. Open System: All wireless clients are allowed to connect regardless of whether they have the correct WEP key. But as wireless clients are only allowed to connect, they cannot communicate without a valid WEP key. This option is not only for "WEP" but is also used for "None", "WPA Personal" and "WPA Enterprise". Shared Key: Only wireless clients with the correct WEP key can connect. Wireless clients cannot connect without a valid key. Open System and Shared Key: A client configured to use Shared Key can connect if it has a valid WEP key. A client configured to use Open System can connect regardless of whether it has a correct key.

RADIUS Server Primary IP Address | Enter the IP address of the primary RADIUS server. (mandatory)
RADIUS Server Primary Secret | Enter the password to connect to the primary RADIUS server with 128 or less alphanumeric and symbol characters.
RADIUS Server Secondary IP Address | Enter the IP address of the secondary RADIUS server. Leave it blank if you are not using a secondary RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server Secondary Secret | Enter the password to connect to the secondary RADIUS server with 128 or less alphanumeric and symbol characters. Leave it blank if you are not using a secondary RADIUS server.
Port Number | Enter a port number between 1 and 65535 on which the primary and secondary RADIUS server is listening. The default is 1812.
User-Name Format Separator | A client's MAC address is sent to the RADIUS server as a User-Name attribute. Specify an octet delimiter to use in a User-Name attribute from "Hyphen", "Colon" and "None". The default is "Hyphen".
User-Name Format Letter Case | Specify which case to use in a User-Name attribute from "Upper" and "Lower". The default is "Lower".
User-Password Format | Specify what is used for a User-Password attribute when a client MAC address is sent to the RADIUS server for authentication. The default is "User Name". If you select "Fixed Password", a string specified in "User-Password Format Password" is always used as the value of the User-Password attribute. If you select "User Name", the same string as the User-Name attribute (MAC Address) is sent to the RADIUS server as the value of the User-Password attribute.
User-Password Format Password | Specify a fixed password string which is used when "User-Password Format Type" is set to "Fixed Password".

By default (where "User-Name Format Delimiter" is "Hyphen", "User-Name Format Case" is "Lower" and "User-Password Format Type" is "User Name"), authentication credentials (User-Name and User-Password attributes) of a client will be sent to the RADIUS server as follows:

- User-Name ab-cd-ef-12-34-56
- User-Password ab-cd-ef-12-34-56

#### Additional options for Fast Roaming

Table 11: Additional options for Fast Roaming
Item Name | Description
--- | ---
802.11r FT | Specify whether to use IEEE 802.11r (Fast Basic Service Set Transition). When enabled, wireless clients can do IEEE 802.11r fast transition when roaming from one AP to another. The default is "Disable".
FT over DS | Specify whether to request authentication via distributed system (DS). When enabled, wireless clients send an authentication request to the destination AP via the current (source) AP. (Over The DS.) When disabled, wireless clients send an authentication request to the destination AP directly over the radio. (Over The Air) The default is "Disable".
Mobility Domain | Specify a mobility domain with 4 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9, A to F, a to f). This is not case-sensitive. A wireless client can perform IEEE 802.11r fast transition between the APs in the same mobility domain. The default is "a1b2".
R0 key Lifetime | Specify a PMK-R0 lifetime, between 1 and 65535 minutes. Once the lifetime expires, IEEE 802.11r fast transition is not performed. The default is 10000.
AES Key | Specify an AES key that is used to exchange PMK-R1 between APs with 32 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9, A to F, a to f). This is not case-sensitive. The default is empty. Note This is mandatory for every function in the "Fast Roaming" section. Configure this item even if you only use IEEE 802.11k or IEEE 802.11v and you are not going to use IEEE 802.11r fast transition.
