WLAN configuration with or without WLAN controller

A VoWLAN network can be configured and operated via a WLAN controller or manually. As the handling work involved in a larger installation is far less when a WLAN controller is used, and is also more convenient in terms of monitoring, we recommend that a WLAN controller is deployed in installations with more than three access points.

To access the configuration interface enter the IP address bintec RS123w™ in your Web browser.

Go to Wireless LAN Controller -> Slave AP Configuration -> Radio Profiles -> New.

For Operation Mode, specify the mode in which the wireless module profile is to be run, here Access Point .
Select the Operation Band of the wireless module profile 2.4 GHz In/Outdoor .
For Number of Spatial Streams, select how many traffic flows are to be used in parallel, e. g. 2 (default value): Two traffic flows will be used.
