12.4.4 Wireless Advanced Configuration

User Guide

VersaLink™ Gateway (Model 327W)

 

 

 

 

Traffic

Allowed: When the MAC Filter is enabled, only stations in the MAC Filter Table

 

 

(which are set to “Allowed”) will have access to the AP.

 

 

Blocked: This allows the station to remain in the table, but no access to the

 

 

VersaLink is allowed.

 

MAC Address

The MAC address assigned to the station that you want to allow access to.

 

Station Name

The station name or description that the MAC address is assigned to. This is an

 

 

optional field that is useful in identifying the station.

Beacon Period

The time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and

 

 

capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the

 

 

access points in the area.

 

 

RTS Threshold

RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU

 

 

containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than

 

 

the MSDU size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will

 

 

be performed. A value of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs.

 

 

Fragmented Threshold

Any MSDU or MMPDU larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU

 

 

of the specified size.

 

 

Preamble Algorithm

Factory Default = Local STA’s

 

 

 

Possible Responses:

 

 

 

Always Long: Transmissions are done using the long preamble algorithm.

 

 

Always Short: Transmissions are done using the short preamble algorithm.

 

 

Local STA’s: If all associated stations support short preamble, then the short
