Crestron CEN-WAP-ABG-1G 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point
NOTE: A low value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming more of
the available bandwidth and therefore reducing the apparent throughput of the
network packet. The more packets that are sent, however, the quicker the access
point can recover from interference or collisions.
If several touchpanels are connected to a single access point, lowering the RTS
threshold to a value ranging from 500 to 1000 may improve performance. Assigning
a dedicated access point to each touchpanel improves the performance more.
Beacon Interval (ms): In the text box, enter the desired number of milliseconds
between beacon transmissions. The access point transmits beacons to let the wireless
clients know its name and information. The default setting is 100.
NOTE: By increasing the beacon interval, you reduce the number of beacons and
associated overhead. Increasing the beacon interval, however, delays the association
and roaming process since devices scanning for available access points may miss the
beacons.
A high value ranging from 250 to 500 milliseconds may improve performance in
areas with high radio interference but can also increase reconnection time.
Decreasing the value below 100 does not improve reconnection time.

Configuring MAC Filters MAC filters allows you to prevent or permit access to the wireless network from
wireless computers with specific MAC addresses.
To configure MAC filters, click the WIRELESS tab and then click the MAC FILTER
subtab. The “MAC Filter” page opens.
