Chapter 4 Building a Wireless Network 19
The EMD2 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of above two models. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, the EMD2 behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the EMD2. The EMD2 supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure access.
Under the AP Mesh mode, the EMD2 can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that support IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the EMD2 can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and security password in order to associate with other EMD2, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and encryption signatures. For example, you would use one band to connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and the other band to broadcast traffic on the network.

Wireless Wireless Settings devices are not currently associated on 2.4GHz radio in this AP. *Prefer 5GHz: When band steering is configured to Prefer 5GHz mode, the AP will steer dual band capable client devices to 5GHz radio when the RSSI value of these client devices on 5GHz radio is more than set one. The allowed RSSI value for default setting is -75dBm. Device Name: Enter a name for the device. The name you type appears in SNMP management.
Channel HT Mode: Scrow down this list to select bandwidth for operating under a frequency band. The default channel bandwidth is 20 MHz on 2.4GHz frequency radio and 40 MHz on 5GHz frequency radio. Considering the different applications, users can decide to implement a channel bandwidth to fulfill real applications. The larger the channel, the greater the transmission quality and speed. This page displays the current status of the Wireless settings of this AP. 2.

Wireless MAC Filtering ACL (Access Control List) Mode: Determines whether network access is granted or denied to clients whose MAC addresses appear in the MAC address table on this page. Choices given are: Disabled, Deny MAC in the list, or Allow MAC in the list. Wireless MAC Filtering is used to allow or deny network access to wireless clients (computers, tablet PCs, NAS, smartphones, etc.) according to their MAC addresses. You can manually add a MAC address to restrict permission to access EAP1750H.
