Poll Timeout Type the timeout value, in seconds. The Wireless AP uses this
value to trigger re-establishing the link with the SCALANCE
IWLAN Controller if the Wireless AP does not get an answer to its
polling. The default value is 10 seconds.
Note: If you are configuring session availability, the Poll Timeout
value should be 1.5 to 2 times of Detect link failure value on AP
Properties screen. For more information, see “Session
Availability” on page 12-9.
Secure Tunnel Click to Enable or Disable secure tunnel. This feature, when
enabled, provides encryption, authentication, and key
management for data traffic between the AP and/or controllers.
Note: Secure tunnel can only be enabled when a V8.11
compatible AP is added to the network. Secure tunnel must be
disabled for APs running previous versions.
Encrypt control traffic between AP &
Controller
Click to Enable or Disable encryption of the control traffic between
the AP and/or controllers.
Remote Access
Click to Enable or Disable telnet access or SSH to the
Wireless AP
Location-based Service Click to Enable or Disable location-based service on this Wireless
AP. Location-based service allows you to use this Wireless AP
with an AeroScout or Ekahau solution.
Maintain client sessions in event of poll
failure
Click to Enable or Disable (using a bridged at AP VNS) the AP
remaining active if a link loss with the controller occurs.This option
is enabled by default.
Restart service in the absence of
controller
Click to Enable or Disable (if using a bridged at AP VNS) to
ensure the Wireless AP continues providing service if the Wireless
AP’s connection to the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller is lost. If
this option is enabled, it allows the Wireless AP to start a bridged
at AP VNS even in the absence of a SCALANCE IWLAN
Controller.
Use broadcast for disassociation Click to Enable or Disable if you want the Wireless AP to use
broadcast disassociation when disconnecting all clients, instead of
disassociating each client one by one. This will affect the behavior
of the AP under the following conditions:
• If the Wireless AP is preparing to reboot or to enter one of the
special modes (DRM initial channel selection).
• If a BSSID is deactivated or removed on the Wireless AP.
This option is disabled by default.
