802.11a Advanced Wireless LAN Configuration Parameters

CONFIGURATION	DESCRIPTION
Transmit Power	Transmit signal strength of the WAB102. The
	options are 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5% and
	Lowest. Decreases the transmit power if more
	than one AP is co-located using the same
	channel frequency.

	Default:100%
Beacon Interval	Specifies the Beacon Interval value. Enter a
	value in between 20 to 1000.
	Default: 100
RTS Threshold	The packet size that the wireless node uses to
	determine if it should use the CSMA/CD
	mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for
	packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD
	transmission mechanism, the transmitting
	station sends out the actual packet as soon as it
	has waited for the silence period. With the
	CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the
	transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to
	the receiving station, and waits for the receiving
	station to send back a CTS packet before
	sending the actual packet data.
	Default: 2346
Fragmentation Length	This is the maximum packet size used for
	fragmentation. Packets larger than the size
	programmed in this field will be fragmented.
	The Fragment Threshold value must be larger
	than the RTS Threshold value.
	Default: 2346
DTIM	The Delivery Traffic Indication Message.
	Specifies the data beacon rate between 1 and
	255.
	Default: 1
