| Field | Description |
|
| RTS Threshold | Specify an RTS Threshold value between 0 and 2347. |
|
|
| The RTS threshold specifies the packet size at which packet transmission is |
|
|
| governed by the RTS/CTS transaction. |
|
|
| If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets will be sent more frequently. |
|
|
| This will consume more bandwidth and reduce the throughput of the packet. |
|
|
| On the other hand, sending more RTS packets can help the network recover |
|
|
| from interference or collisions which might occur on a busy network, or on a |
|
|
| network experiencing electromagnetic interference. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Maximum Stations | Specify the maximum number of stations allowed to access an individual |
|
|
| WLAN (i.e., Internal, Guest, or VWN) on this radio, at any one time. |
|
|
| You can enter a value between 0 and 2007. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Transmit Power | Provide a percentage value to set the transmit power for this access point. |
|
|
| The default is to have the access point transmit using 100 percent of its power. |
|
|
| Recommendations: |
|
|
| ∙ For most cases, we recommend keeping the default and having the transmit |
|
|
| power set to 100 percent. This is more |
|
|
| point a maximum broadcast range, and reduces the number of APs needed. |
|
|
| ∙ To increase capacity of the network, place APs closer together and reduce |
|
|
| the value of the transmit power. This will help reduce overlap and |
|
|
| interference among APs. A lower transmit power setting can also keep |
|
|
| your network more secure because weaker wireless signals are less likely |
|
|
| to propagate outside of the physical location of your network. |
