| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
|
| RTS/CTS | The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data |
|
| Threshold | with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS |
|
|
| handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU |
|
|
| (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting |
|
|
| this attribute to its smallest value (256) turns on the RTS/CTS |
|
|
| handshake. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. |

|
|
| Beacon | When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a |
|
| Interval | beacon interval. This specifies the time period before the device sends |
|
|
| the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how |
|
|
| long they can wait in |
|
|
| beacon. This value can be set from 20ms to 1000ms. A high value helps |
|
|
| save current consumption of the access point. |
|
|
|
|
|
| DTIM | Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which |
|
|
| broadcast and multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the |
|
|
| Active Power Management mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to |
|
|
| lose connectivity with the network. This value can be set from 1 to 100. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Fragmentation | The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for |
|
| Threshold | directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be |
|
|
| sent. Enter an even number between 256 and 2346. |
|
|
| This field is not available when Super Mode is selected. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Output Power | Set the output power of the NWA in this field. If there is a high density of |
|
|
| APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA to reduce |
|
|
| interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%, 50%, |
|
|
| 25%, 12.5% or Minimum. See the product specifications for more |
|
|
| information on your NWA’s output power. |
|
|
| This field is not available when you select 802.11a in the 802.11 Mode |
|
|
| field. |
|
|
|
|
|
| SSID Profile | The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a |
|
|
| wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access |
|
|
| point (AP) must have the same SSID. Select an SSID Profile from the |
|
|
|
| |
|
| Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen (see Section 9.4 on page 143 |
|
|
| for information on configuring SSID). |
|
|
| Note: If you are configuring the NWA from a computer connected to |
|
|
| the wireless LAN and you change the NWA’s SSID or security |
|
|
| settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you |
|
|
| press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless |
|
|
| settings of your computer to match the NWA’s new settings. |
