WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual

Figure 5-5

The radio configuration in the Advanced WLAN pages allow you to configure the following settings:

•RTS Threshold. Wireless clients transmitting frames larger than this threshold must issue Request to Send (RTS) and wait for the AP to respond with Clear to Send (CTS). This helps prevent mid-air collisions for wireless clients that are not within wireless peer range and cannot detect when other wireless clients are transmitting. The default is 2333 bytes.

•Ageout. Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that a client is allowed to remain idle before being aged out. The default is 1000 seconds.

•Hide SSID. Enables or disables hiding of the SSID name in beacon frames.

•Deny Broadcast. When a client sends a broadcast probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this option controls whether or not the system responds for this SSID. When enabled, no response is sent and clients must know the SSID in order to associate to the SSID. When disabled, a probe response frame is sent for this SSID.

•Max Retries. Specifies the maximum number of retries allowed for the AP to send a frame. The recommended range is between 3 and 7. The default is 3.
