Chapter 13 AP Profile Table 60 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID > SSID List > Add/Edit SSID Profile (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Profile Select a security profile from this list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the Create new Object menu to create one. MAC Filtering Profile It is highly recommended that you create security profiles for all of your SSIDs to enhance your network security. Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the Create new Object menu to create one. MAC filtering allows you to limit the WiFi clients connecting to your network through a particular SSID by WiFi client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not in the MAC filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections. Layer-2 Isolation Profile The disable setting means no MAC filtering is used. Select a layer-2 isolation profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the Create new Object menu to create one. Layer-2 isolation allows you to prevent WiFi clients associated with your Zyxel Device from communicating with other WiFi clients, APs, computers or routers in a network. QoS The disable setting means no layer-2 isolation is used. Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this SSID. Access categories minimize the delay of data packets across a WiFi network. Certain categories, such as video or voice, are given a higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets. QoS access categories are as follows: WMM: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The Zyxel Device assigns access categories to the SSID by examining data as it passes through it and making a best guess effort. If something looks like video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such. WMM_VOICE: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. This is recommended if an SSID is used for activities like placing and receiving VoIP phone calls. WMM_VIDEO: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. This is recommended for activities like video conferencing. WMM_BEST_EFFORT: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as "best effort," meaning the data travels the best route it can without displacing higher priority traffic. This is good for activities that do not require the best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet. WMM_BACKGROUND: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low priority or "background traffic", meaning all other access categories take precedence over this one. If traffic from an SSID does not have strict throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended. For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it. Rate Limiting (Per Station Traffic Rate) Downlink Define the maximum incoming transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a per-station basis. The range is from 0-160. Enter 0 to set the maximum rate to unlimited. Uplink Define the maximum outgoing transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a per-station basis. The range is from 0-160. Enter 0 to set the maximum rate to unlimited. VLAN ID Enter a VLAN ID for the Zyxel Device to use to tag traffic originating from this SSID. The range is from 1-4094. Hidden SSID Select this if you want to "hide" your SSID from WiFi clients. This tells any WiFi clients in the vicinity of the AP using this SSID profile not to display its SSID name as a potential connection. Not all WiFi clients respect this flag and display it anyway. Enable Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking When a SSID is "hidden" and a WiFi client cannot see it, the only way you can connect to the SSID is by manually entering the SSID name in your WiFi connection setup screen(s) (these vary by client, client connectivity software, and operating system). Select this option to prevent crossover traffic from within the same BSSID on the Zyxel Device. NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide 158

Security Profile

Select a security profile from this list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use the

Create new Object

menu to create one.

It is highly recommended that you create security profiles for all of your SSIDs to

enhance your network security.

MAC Filtering

Profile

Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use

the

Create new Object

menu to create one.

MAC filtering allows you to limit the WiFi clients connecting to your network through a particular

SSID by WiFi client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not in the MAC

filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections.

The

disable

setting means no MAC filtering is used.

Layer-2 Isolation

Profile

Select a layer-2 isolation profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use

the

Create new Object

menu to create one.

Layer-2 isolation allows you to prevent WiFi clients associated with your Zyxel Device from

communicating with other WiFi clients, APs, computers or routers in a network.

The

disable

setting means no layer-2 isolation is used.

QoS

Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this SSID. Access categories

minimize the delay of data packets across a WiFi network. Certain categories, such as video or

voice, are given a higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets.

QoS access categories are as follows:

WMM

: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The Zyxel Device assigns access categories

to the SSID by examining data as it passes through it and making a best guess effort. If

something looks like video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such.

WMM_VOICE

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. This is recommended if an

SSID is used for activities like placing and receiving VoIP phone calls.

WMM_VIDEO

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. This is recommended for

activities like video conferencing.

WMM_BEST_EFFORT

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as “best effort,” meaning the data

travels the best route it can without displacing higher priority traffic. This is good for activities

that do not require the best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet.

WMM_BACKGROUND

: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low priority or “background

traffic”, meaning all other access categories take precedence over this one. If traffic from an

SSID does not have strict throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended.

For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it.

Rate Limiting (Per Station Traffic Rate)

Downlink

Define the maximum incoming transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a per-station

basis. The range is from 0–160. Enter 0 to set the maximum rate to unlimited.

Uplink

Define the maximum outgoing transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a per-station

basis. The range is from 0–160. Enter 0 to set the maximum rate to unlimited.

VLAN ID

Enter a VLAN ID for the Zyxel Device to use to tag traffic originating from this SSID. The range is

from 1–4094.

Hidden SSID

Select this if you want to “hide” your SSID from WiFi clients. This tells any WiFi clients in the vicinity

of the AP using this SSID profile not to display its SSID name as a potential connection. Not all

WiFi clients respect this flag and display it anyway.

When a SSID is “hidden” and a WiFi client cannot see it, the only way you can connect to the

SSID is by manually entering the SSID name in your WiFi connection setup screen(s) (these vary

by client, client connectivity software, and operating system).

Enable Intra-BSS

Traffic Blocking

Select this option to prevent crossover traffic from within the same BSSID on the Zyxel Device.
