> Note

> > For 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.

> Note

> > AP 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.

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. Dual[11ax] GEN2: Specify "Within AP" to block communication between wireless clients connected to all VAPs in the AP, "Within VAP" to block communication between wireless clients connected to the same VAP, or "Disabled" to not block communication. The default is "Disable". When this product is set to "Disabled", you can select "Within AP", "Within VAP", or "Disabled" for each VAP in "Wireless Client Isolation" in the VAP (Multi-SSID) settings. When this item is set to "Within AP" or "Within VAP", only "Within AP" or "Within VAP" will be displayed in "Wireless Client Isolation" in the VAP (Multi-SSID) settings, respectively. Tri[11ac Wave2], Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna: Select "Disable" to allow communications between wireless clients. Otherwise select "Enable". The default is "Disable". When this product is set to "Disable", you can select "Enable" or "Disable" for each VAP in "Wireless Client Isolation" in the VAP (Multi-SSID) settings. Setting this item "Enable" will activate Wireless Client Isolation for all VAPs, which blocks the communications between the clients connecting to the same VAP. Others: Select "Disable" to allow communications between wireless clients. Otherwise select "Enable". The default is "Disable". Setting this item "Enable" will activate Wireless Client Isolation for all VAPs, which blocks the communications between the clients connecting to the same VAP. Per-VAP setting can not performed.
Airtime Fairness | Specify whether to give each client an equal amount of airtime regardless of its speed. Select "Enable" to use Air Time Fairness. Otherwise select "Disable". The default is "Disable".
Management Frame Protection | Specify whether to protect management frames. Select "Enable" to use MFP. Otherwise select "Disable". The default is "Enable".

Note If you select "TQ Series" for Series, and "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" is selected on the 5GHz radio band (Radio 2 or 3), you can enable or disable the four adjacent channels as a group, for example "36ch/40ch/44ch/48ch". At least one group must be enabled for Auto Channel Selection, when "80MHz" is selected for Channel Bandwidth.
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. Note If "TQ Series" or "TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow" is selected for the Series, and "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac with External Antenna" is selected for the Profile Type, the Maximum Wireless Clients is counted as the sum of all radio bands (Radio 1 to Radio 2). TQ series Dual[11ax] GEN2 Specify a number between 0 to 500. The default is 500. Dual[11ax] Specify a number between 0 to 320. The default is 200. Dual[11ac Wave2] Radio 1: Specify a number between 0 to 120. The default is 120. Radio 2: Specify a number between 0 to 200. The default is 200. Other than above Specify a number between 0 to 200. The default is 200. TQ Series (SDN/OpenFlow-capable firmware) Specify a number between 0 to 200. The default is 200.
Multicast Tx Rate | Specify a selection method for IEEE 802.3 multicast/broadcast rate. Available options vary depending on the selected Profile Type. Dual[11ac], 11ac with External Antenna "Auto" uses the lowest selected rate in "2.4G/5G Supported Rate" in "Legacy Rate Sets". "Fast" selects and uses the rate from selected rate in "2.4G/5G Supported Rate" in "Legacy Rate Sets", which is nearest to the lowest rate of the clients in the same VAP. The default is "Fast". "Fixed" uses the "Fixed Tx Rate". Dual[11ax] GEN2, Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna, Dual[11ax], Tri[11ac Wave2], Dual[11ac Wave2] Select rates to support. Radio 1: 11 5.5 2 1 (Mbps) Radio 2 and Radio 3: 24 12 6 (Mbps) Beacons are transmitted using the selected lowest rate in "2.4G/5G Basic Rate" in "Legacy Rate Sets".
Fixed Tx Rate | Specify the fixed multicast transmission rate used when "Fixed" is selected for "Multicast Tx Rate". Radio 1: 54 48 36 24 18 12 11 9 6 5.5 2 1 (Mbps) Radio 2 and Radio 3: 54 48 36 24 18 12 9 6 (Mbps) Note This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for 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. Dual[11ax] GEN2, Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna, Tri[11ac Wave2], Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna, and Dual[11ac Wave2] Select required rates that must be supported on wireless stations (client or other APs) to be allowed to connect to the APs. When a station does not support one or more rates in this list, the station is not allowed to connect. Check the rates to select. All supported rates are selected by default. 2.4GHz: 54 48 36 24 18 12 11 9 6 5.5 2 1 (Mbps) 5GHz: 54 48 36 24 18 12 9 6 (Mbps) Dual[11ac], 11ac with External Antenna 2.4G/5G Supported Rate Select the rates to be supported. Check the rates to select. All supported rates are selected by default. 2.4GHz: 54 48 36 24 18 12 11 9 6 5.5 2 1 (Mbps) 5GHz: 54 48 36 24 18 12 9 6 (Mbps) 2.4G/5G Basic Rate Select required 2.4G/5G Supported Rates which must be supported on wireless stations (client or other APs) to be allowed to connect to the APs. When a station's 2.4G/5G Supported Rate lacks one or more rates in this 2.4G/5G Basic Rate list, the station is not allowed to connect. In general, if a station's 2.4G/5G Supported Rate contains higher rates than ones in 2.4G/5G Basic Rate, the station connects at higher rate. Select rates from the ones selected in "Supported Rate". Check the rates to select. Most of the time it is not necessary to change this setting. Each band has the following default: 2.4GHz: 11 5.5 2 1 (Mbps) 5GHz: 24 12 6 (Mbps) Note This 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 select "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, specify RTS Threshold in the range of 0 to 2347. Specifying "2347" disables RTS transmission. The default is 2347 (do not transmit RTS). If you select "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac with External Antenna" for Profile Type, specify Enable or Disable RTS Threshold. If you want to enable RTS transmission, select "Enable" and enter a threshold between 0 and 2347 (Bytes). When a packet to send is larger than the specifed size, RTS is transmitted before the packet is sent. Specifying "2347" disables RTS transmission. Select "Disable" if you want to disable RTS transmission. The default is "Disable". Default threshold value is 2347 just after setting it to "Enable". 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. Note If 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 item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for 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. Note If you select "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. When enabled, the AP encourages clients supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz to prefer a less congested frequency in order to reduce overall congestion. When disabled, the AP doesn't encourage clients to use other frequencies. In that case, a client keeps using the same band with which they connect, even if the client supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and the other band is less crowded. 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. Note This item is displayed if you select "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. If you select "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac with External Antenna", Band Steering can be configured per VAP in the "VAP (Multiple SSID) Configuration" section. Note Band 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". Note This item is displayed if you select "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. Note To use IEEE 802.11n IEEE 802.11ac or IEEE 802.11ax, this must be enabled.
APSD | Specify whether to use APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery). Enabling APSD can lower power consumption of mobile devices (VoIP) and therefore increase the battery life. The mobile device should also support APSD (U-APSD). The default setting varies depending on the selected Profile Type. Dual[11ax]: Enable Dual[11ax] GEN2, Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna, Tri[11ac Wave2], Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna, and Dual[11ac Wave2]: Disable Note This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for Profile Type.
Neighbor AP Detection | Specify whether to detect Neighbor APs. When enabled, it scans in-use and other channels of the radio band for AWC Calculation. In this case, the channel currently being used is periodically stopped, so the performance of the wireless network service slightly decreases. When disabled, detection does not work. In this case, the effect of surrounding unmanaged APs may not be correctly reflected in the AWC Calculation. The default is "Enable". Note This item is displayed if you select "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. Note If Neighbor AP Detection is supported on the management web interface of the AP system and set to "Enable" in the AWC Plug-in management, the Neighbor AP Detection setting will remain as "Enable". This is supported on TQ5403, TQ5403e and TQm5403 with firmware version 5.3.1 or later, TQ1402 and TQm1402 with firmware version 6.0.0-0.2 or later, and TQ6602 with firmware version 7.0.0 or later. If Neighbor AP Detection is not supported on the management web interface of the AP system, this feature is disabled in the AWC Plug-in management. Note TQ6602 GEN2/6702 GEN2 and TQm6602 GEN2/6702 GEN2, when a neighbor APs are detected, packet loss or communication delay shorter than 3 seconds (firmware version 8.0.3-0.1 or later) or 10 seconds (firmware version 8.0.2-x.x or earlier) may occur repeatedly up to 4 times, for approximately 20 seconds total. In environments where temporary performance degradation is unacceptable, disable neighbor AP detection in the AP profile for profile type "Dual [11ax] GEN2". If the Neighborhood AP Detection feature is disabled, the following features of the AWC plug-in are affected: The AWC calculation cannot select channels that take into account the signal conditions of unmanaged APs.
MU-MIMO | Select whether to Enable or Disable MU-MIMO (Multi-user MIMO). MU-MIMO allows multiple wireless clients to communicate simultaneously (upwards and downwards), thus increasing the communication speed. The default is "Disable". Note This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", or "Dual[11ax]" for the Profile Type.
OFDMA | Select whether to Enable or Disable OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). OFDMA allows multiple wireless clients to communicate simultaneously by dividing the channel into multiple RUs (resource units). The default is "Disable". Note This item is displayed when "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ax]" is selected as the Profile Type and a mode other than "a" or "b/g" is selected for the Radio Configuration.
Zero wait DFS | Specify whether to use Zero wait DFS. When the Zero Wait DFS function is set "Enable", the system constantly monitors the candidate channel to be changed when a waveform that is considered as from a weather radar is detected, and immediately switches to the candidate channel once radar is detected. The default is "Disable". Note This setting is displayed on "Radio 2" when "Dual[11ax] GEN2" or "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna" is selected as Profile Type. Other Profile Types will not show this setting.

TQ Series Dual[11ax] GEN2, Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna, Dual[11ax] 16 VAPs per band (Radio 1, Radio 2) Tri[11ac Wave2], Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna, Dual[11ac Wave2] 8 VAPs per band (Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3) Dual[11ac], 11ac With External Antenna 16 VAPs per band (Radio 1, Radio 2) TQ Series - SDN/OpenFlow Dual[11ac] 16 VAPs per band (Radio 1, Radio 2) Note It is recommended to use 5 or less VAPs per radio band in total, including both multi-channel and blanket VAPs.
VAP Status | Enables or disables the VAP. When set to Enabled, the VAP is always used on the APs to which this AP Profile is applied. When set to Disabled, the VAP is not used. When set to Emergency, the VAP becomes active only when the Emergency Mode is enabled in the Management Group. For VAP 1, "Enable" and "Disable" are displayed when "Use Conditions" is set to "Always", and "Disable" and "Emergency" are displayed when "Use Conditions" is set to "Only Emergency Mode". For other VAPs, all three options, "Enable", "Disable", and "Emergency" are displayed. The default is "Enable". Note Emergency Mode cannot be used with channel blanket. You cannot use a channel blanket as an emergency Wi-Fi network. Do not set this item to "Emergency" for the VAP whose number is the same as the CB VAP (VAP for channel blanket).
VLAN ID | Specify a VLAN ID (between 1 and 4094) to use on the VAP (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 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 a VAP number) (mandatory)
Broadcast SSID | Specify whether to broadcast the SSID on the 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.
Band Steering | Specify whether to use Band Steering. When enabled, the AP encourages clients supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz to prefer 5GHz in order to reduce congestion in 2.4GHz. When disabled, the AP doesn't encourage clients to use 5GHz. In that case, a client keeps using the same band with which they connect, even if the client supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and the other band is less crowded. The default is "Disable". This item is displayed only for "Radio 1" (2.4GHz). To use this feature, make sure you enable both radios (Radio 1 and Radio 2) and configure a VAP with the same SSID and security for each radio. Note This item is displayed if you select "TQ Series" for Series, and "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for Profile Type. If you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]", this option is set in the "Radio Configuration" section and affects overall VAPs.
Security | Select a security mechanism to use. The available options are "None", "Static WEP", "WPA Personal", "WPA Enterprise", and "OSEN". The default is "None". Note "Static WEP" is not displayed when the selected Mode contains "IEEE 802.11n". This can be configured only on VAP 1 of each radio. Note "OSEN" is displayed if you select "TQ Series", and "Tri[11ac]" or "Tri[11ac] With External Antenna" for Profile Type. None: No authentication or encryption is performed. Everyone can connect to the 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) or TKIP for 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) or TKIP for the encryption algorithm. OSEN: Used by the VAP for online sign-up and to configure security settings when communicating with the OSU server. When "Static WEP", "WPA Personal", "WPA Enterprise", or "OSEN" 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 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 AP 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 "Click-through" is displayed if you select "TQ Series" for Series, and "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", "Dual[11ac Wave2]", "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac with External Antenna" for Profile Type.

External RADIUS: The APs will query the RADIUS server. 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. AMF Application Proxy: Selecting "AMF Application Proxy" allows you to query the whitelist and blacklist of our AMF-SECurity Controller AT-SecureEnterpriseSDN Controller (AT-SESC) or AMF Security mini. You can then take actions such as allowing, denying or quarantining client devices that attempt to connect to the wireless AP, disconnecting connected devices or changing VLANs. Disable: No MAC access control is performed. The default is "Disable". When you select either "External RADIUS", "MAC Address List", or "MAC Address List + External RADIUS", additional items are also displayed. For more details, refer to Additional options for MAC Access Control.

Note If you select "TQ Series" for Series and "Dual[11ac]" for Profile Type, this setting is not supported for Radio 1. Use the default setting.
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 This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna", or "Dual[11ac Wave2]" for the Profile Type. Note This feature cannot be used with the OpenFlow feature. Use the default setting. Note When "Management Frame Protection" is set to "Enable", "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 This item is displayed if you select "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. 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). This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", or "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" for the 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. Note If you select "Dual[11ac]" or "11ac With External Antenna" for Profile Type, you specify this item for each band on "Wireless Configuration".
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 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". Note This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Dual[11ax] GEN2 with External Antenna", "Dual[11ax]", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", or "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" for the Profile Type.
Passpoint | Specify whether to use Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0). Passpoint is a feature developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to create a seamless network. By using a wireless client that implements Passpoint, users can automatically sign up and roam within Passpoint-enabled networks without the hassle of having to sign up for each network. Users can also automatically connect to the network when they enter a Passpoint-enabled area. By selecting "Enable", the additional items for Passpoint described below will be displayed. For more details, refer to Additional options for Passpoint. Note To enable Passpoint, WPA Enterprise must be used as security mode. When enabling this item, confirmation dialog will appear asking if you allow to change the security mode to WPA Enterprise to continue Passpoint setting. Note "Passpoint" is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", or "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" for the Profile Type.

Redirect-URL | Specifies whether the wireless client detected as a "suspected node" by the AMF Application Proxy server is forwarded to the external page URL. When set to "Enable", you can specify the URL to which the wireless client detected as a suspected node by the IP Filter action is forwarded in the External page URL field that is displayed additionally. When set to "Disable", the Redirect-URL function is not used. The suspected node will not be allowed to connect to any page. The default is "Disable". Normally, when a user of a suspected node tries to access a website, the loading session of the web page times out and the user cannot know the reason for the denial of access. By using Redirect-URL function, Web access from the user in question can be redirected to a pre-designated URL, and by preparing a page explaining the situation at the same URL, the reason for the block and contact information can be provided to the user. Note Web page used in Redirect-URL should not be placed on a server that handles sensitive information. When a Redirect-URL is used, the host (IP address or domain) specified in the "External Page URL" will be registered in the walled garden information inside the wireless AP. Thus, even a suspected node that has not been authenticated can browse to any page on the server to which it has been redirected by entering the path in the address field of its Web browser. Note This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", or "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" for the Profile Type.

Leave it blank if you are not using a secondary AMF Application Proxy server. Note In this version, the secondary AMF Application Server is not available.
AMF Application Proxy Server Port Number | Enter a port number between 1 and 65535 on which the primary and secondary AMF Application Proxy server is listening. The default is 1812.
Critical Mode | Specify whether to enable or disable Critical Mode. The default is "Disable". With "Enable" selected, in the event the connection between the AWC Plug-in and AMF Application Proxy server is lost, all new client connection requests will be allowed. Note When using the VAP security method together with AMF Application Proxy, only wireless clients that have successfully authenticated using the security method can communicate. When you select "Disable", all new client connection requests will be rejected. The clients that are already connected before the connection between the AWC Plug-in and AMF Application Proxy server got lost, can now continue the communication.
Two-step auth with Captive Portal | When any authentication method except "None" is selected for Captive Portal, the authentication will be performed in two steps: Captive Portal and MAC Access Control. Only the wireless clients which have been authenticated with both MAC Access Control, then Captive Portal, will be able to communicate via the relevant VAP. When AMF Application Proxy is selected, only "Enable" is displayed for the option of Two-step auth with Captive Portal. Note This item is displayed if you select "Dual[11ax] GEN2", "Tri[11ac Wave2]", or "Tri[11ac Wave2] with External Antenna" for the Profile Type.

When disabled, the communication with the OpenFlow controller is not encrypted (i.e. plain TCP connection is used). The default is "Disable". Note To use encrypted control plane, the OpenFlow controller must also be configured appropriately.
Critical Mode | Specify whether to use "Critical Mode" which enables traffic to continue to flow even if the connection to the OpenFlow controller is lost for some reason. Options are "Enable(Permit any)", "Enable(Discard any)" or "Disable". The default is "Disable". When disabled, the Critical Mode is not used and the normal OpenFlow behavior is retained. When the connection to the controller is lost, no more new connections from a client are possible because new flow entries cannot be generated. Clients which are already connected to APs can continue to communicate, but once the flow entries for the client time out and are deleted, they can no longer communicate. If you select "Enable (Accept All)", all traffic is allowed when the "Fallback Time" expires after the connection to the controller is lost. In this case, the tagged VLAN configured for the VAP is used for all traffic. If you select "Enable (Drop All)", all traffic is discarded after the "Fallback Time" expires. If you select "Enable (Accept All)" or "Enable (Drop All)", all flow entries registered on APs are deleted when the "Fallback Time" expires after the connection to the controller is lost.
Fallback Time | Specify a "Fallback Time" for the "Critical Mode" between 15 and 1000 (seconds). This is valid when the Critical Mode is set to "Enable (Accept All)" or "Enable (Drop All)". The default is 15. Note Actual transition time varies depending on the timing of the health check interval for the OpenFlow controller.
RADIUS Disconnect | Note This item is not supported.
