Configuring with Web Based Management
6.6 "Interfaces" menu
Description
Table 1 has the following columns:
● Radio
Shows the available WLAN interfaces.
● MAC Mode
Specify how the MAC address is assigned to the client. The following are possible:
– Auto Layer 2 Tunnel
– Manual
– Own
– Layer 2 Tunnel
● MAC Address
If you have selected "Manual" for "MAC Mode", enter the MAC address of the client.
● DHCP Renew After Roaming
– Enabled
– Disabled
● min. AP signal strength
The client has a signal strength set.
The client must receive the signal coming from the access point with at least the specified
signal strength to be able to connect to this access point.
The signal strength can fluctuate briefly, e.g. due to the client moving or other disruptive
factors. To filter out fluctuations of the signal a hysteresis is used to specify a range around
this value, in which the client does not change access points before this range is undershot.
If the signal coming from the access point falls below this range, the client disconnects from
the connected access point and searches for a new access point.
● Roaming Threshold
Specify the threshold after which the client roams to the new access point.
– High
– Medium
– Low

The client uses either MAC mode "Own" or "Layer 2 Tunnel".
If you select "Manual", enter the MAC address in the "MAC Address" column.
The client uses the MAC address of the Ethernet interface for the WLAN interface.
The client uses the MAC address of the Ethernet interface for the WLAN interface. The
network is also informed of the MAC addresses connected to the Ethernet interface of
the client. Up to eight MAC addresses can be used.
After changing to a different access point, a check is made to find out whether the IPv4
address of the client is still valid. If he IPv4 address is invalid, a new IPv4 address is
requested from the DHCP server.
If the client changes to a different access point the IPv4 address is not checked.
Changes only at a significantly higher field strength to the AP with the stronger signal.
Changes at a moderately higher field strength to the AP with the stronger signal.
Changes at a slightly higher field strength to the AP with the stronger signal.
