Chapter 5: Advanced Settings

Preamble Type

It defines some details on the 802.11 physical layer. “Long” and “Auto” are available.

IGMP Snooping

Available in AP/Router mode, IGMP snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic. When IGMP snooping is enabled, the AP will listen to IGMP membership reports, queries, and leave messages to identify the ports that are members of multicast groups. Multicast traffic will only be forwarded to ports identified as members of the specific multicast group or groups.

RIFS

RIFS (Reduced Interframe Spacing) is a means of reducing overhead and thereby increasing network efficiency.

Link Integration

Available under AP/Bridge/AP repeater mode. Check “Enable” to monitor the Ethernet port connection. It can inform the associating wireless clients as soon as it disconnects.

TDM Coordination

Time-Division Multiplexing Technique (TDM) helps avoid packet collisions and sends the packets much more efficiently while enabling higher effective throughput rates. This function is only available in AP/CPE mode. We recommend that you enable TDM coordination when multiple extenders will connect to the AP in your application.

LAN2LAN CPE

LAN2LAN CPE mode enables packet forwarding at the Layer 2 level. It is transparent for all the Layer 2 protocols.

Space in Meters

To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distances, the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender can automatically adjust the proper ACK timeout value by specifying the distance between the two nodes.

Flow Control

This enables the administrator to specify the incoming and outgoing traffic limit by checking “Enable Traffic Shaping.” This is only available in Router mode.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you leave most advanced settings at their defaults except “Distance in Meters.” Adjust the parameter for real distance; any modification may negatively impact the performance of your wireless network.

5.2 Wireless Security Settings

To prevent unauthorized radios from accessing data transmitting over the connection, the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender has rock-solid security settings.

5.2.1 Data Encryption and Authentication Settings

Open “Profile Setting” in “Wireless” and enter “VAP Profile 1 Settings.”
