Description

 

 

 

Mode

The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the radio.

 

 

 

The AT-TQ2403 is available as a dual band access point.

 

 

 

 

Select one of these modes:

 

 

 

 

For Radio Interface 1

 

 

 

 

IEEE 802.11a

 

 

 

 

Atheros Turbo 5 GHz

 

 

 

 

Atheros Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz

 

 

 

 

For Radio Interface 2

 

 

 

 

IEEE 802.11b

 

 

 

 

IEEE 802.11g

 

 

 

 

Atheros Turbo 2.4 GHz

 

 

 

 

Atheros Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

Different modes may be available depending on whether Radio One or

 

 

 

 

 

Radio Two is selected in the Radio field above.

 

 

 

 

When you select the radio Mode, the appropriate set of Basic and

 

 

 

 

 

Supported Rates for that Mode is automatically selected. (See description

 

 

 

 

of "Rate Sets" below in this table.)

 

 

 

 

The turbo function depends on Country Domain and Product model. Not

 

 

 

 

all country and model support the turbo function.

Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network

 

 

 

Broadcast/Multicast

performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted across the

 

 

 

Rate Limiting

network.

 

 

 

 

Some protocols use multicast and broadcast packets for traffic that the

 

 

 

 

majority of nodes on a network are uninterested in. For example, ARP

 

 

 

 

requests for other machines, DHCP or BOOTP messages. For some

 

 

 

 

protocols, if you set a rate limit control you limit the number of redundant

 

 

 

packets transmitted across the network. Typically, any filtered traffic will be

 

 

 

retransmitted at a later time and will not cause difficulties.

 

 

 

 

To enable Multicast and Broadcast Rate Limiting, click Enabled.

 

 

 

 

To disable Multicast and Broadcast Rate Disabled, click Disabled.

 

 

 

 

By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting option is disabled. Until you

 

 

 

enable Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting, the following fields will be disabled.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Broadcast/Multicast

Enter the rate limit you want to set for multicast and broadcast traffic. The limit

 

 

Rate Limit

should be greater than 1, but less than 50 packets per second. Any traffic that

 

 

 

falls below this rate limit will always conform and be transmitted to the

 

 

 

 

appropriate destination.
