4.Configure the following fields as needed:

Power Consumption: Indicates the power consumption of the AT-WCU200G wireless adapter. Choose from the following options:

-Disable: This setting consumes the most power. This is the default setting.

-Enable (Fast): This setting consumes a moderate amount of power.

-Enable (Max): This setting consumes the least power.

Fragmentation: Indicates the fragmentation setting of the wireless connection. The default setting is 2346 (when the Power Consumption field is set to disable). The use of fragmentation can increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The fragment size value can typically be set between 256 and 2,048 bytes. A wireless adapter uses fragmentation to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. If very few collisions are occurring, then do not enable this function. The additional headers applied to each fragment dramatically increases the overhead on the network, thereby reducing throughput.

RTS / CTS Threshold: Indicates RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear

AT-WCU200G specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-WCU200G is a high-performance wireless controller designed for managing and monitoring multiple access points in a cohesive network environment. It is particularly effective for medium to large enterprises that require robust wireless solutions to support a growing number of devices and applications. The AT-WCU200G stands out due to its advanced features, which ensure seamless connectivity, scalability, and security.

One of the main features of the AT-WCU200G is its ability to manage up to 200 access points, allowing for extensive coverage in larger spaces without compromising performance. This centralized management simplifies network administration and monitoring, enabling IT teams to oversee their wireless infrastructure from a single location. The controller also supports the latest Wi-Fi standards, including 802.11ac, which provides high-speed connectivity and increased throughput for demanding applications.

In terms of technologies, the AT-WCU200G employs advanced radio resource management (RRM) techniques to optimize the performance of the network. RRM dynamically adjusts the power levels and channel assignments of access points, reducing interference and ensuring a reliable connection for all users. Additionally, the device features robust Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which prioritize critical applications such as voice and video traffic, ensuring consistent performance even during peak usage periods.

Security is a top priority with the AT-WCU200G, which incorporates multiple layers of protection. It supports WPA2 and WPA3 encryption protocols, ensuring that user data remains secure against unauthorized access. Moreover, it offers advanced features such as rogue access point detection and enhanced network segmentation, further safeguarding the network from potential threats.

The AT-WCU200G is also designed for easy integration into existing networks, with support for various management interfaces. It can be managed via a web-based GUI, CLI, or through SNMP, providing flexibility for network administrators. Additionally, its compatibility with Allied Telesis’ suite of wireless access points ensures a smooth deployment process.

In summary, the Allied Telesis AT-WCU200G is a powerful wireless controller that combines scalability, advanced management features, and robust security measures. Its ability to manage multiple access points efficiently ensures that organizations can provide high-quality wireless connectivity to meet the increasing demands of today’s mobile workforce.
