RTS/CTS Medium

This parameter affects message flow control

Reservation

and should not be changed under normal

 

circumstances. Range is 0 to 2347. When set

 

to a value between 0 and 2347, the

 

Access Point uses the RTS/CTS mechanism

 

for packets that are the specified size or

 

greater. When set to 2347 (the default

 

setting), RTS/CTS is disabled. See RTS/CTS

 

Medium Reservation for more information.

 

 

Closed System

Check this box to allow only clients

 

configured with the Access Point’s specific

 

Network Name to associate with the

 

Access Point. When enabled, a client

 

configured with the Network Name “ANY”

 

cannot connect to the AP. This option is

 

disabled by default.

 

 

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

802.11a APs sold in Europe use a technique called Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to automatically select an operating channel. During boot-up, the AP scans the available frequency and selects a channel that is free of interference. If the AP subsequently detects interference on its channel, it automatically reboots and selects another channel that is free of interference.
