Parameters

 

Description

 

Outdoor

 

The Outdoor parameter is disabled by default. If set to

 

 

 

Enable, the Outdoor parameters will be configured for

 

 

 

outdoor communication over short or long distances as

 

 

 

specified.

 

 

 

 

 

Distance

 

This parameter determines the distance between your

 

 

 

access point and the remote access point. It should be

 

 

 

entered in meters.

 

 

 

 

 

Slot Time

 

Time is slotted and each unit of time is called one slot

 

 

 

time.

 

 

 

 

 

ACK Timeout

 

This parameter determines the timeout allowed for the

 

 

 

sending client to receive the acknowledgment response

 

 

 

from the receiving client. If no acknowledgment packet

 

 

 

is received within this period, the sender will assume the

 

 

 

receiver has not received the packet and will attempt to

 

 

 

re-send.

 

 

 

 

 

CTS Timeout

 

This Clear-to-Send time is the time the wireless sender will

 

 

 

wait for a CTS packet signaling that the channel is idle

 

 

 

and it can start data transmission. If no CTS packet is

 

 

 

received within this period, the sender will assume the

 

 

 

channel is busy and will wait before trying to send again.
