Chapter 5 Controller AP Mode
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 14 The Profile Edit > Radio > Edit Screen
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Profile Name | Enter a name identifying this profile. |
|
|
802.11 Mode | Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant |
| WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant |
| WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. |
| Select 802.11b+g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g |
| compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. The |
| transmission rate of your NWA might be reduced. |
| Select 802.11a |
| compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NWA. |
|
|
Super Mode | Select this to improve data throughput on the WLAN by enabling |
| fast frame and packet bursting. |
|
|
Choose Channel ID | Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your |
| particular region. |
| To manually set the NWA to use a channel, select a channel from |
| the |
|
|
RTS/CTS Threshold | (Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling |
| RTS/CTS handshake. Data 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. |
|
|
Fragmentation | The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary |
Threshold | for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that |
| can be sent. Enter an even number between 256 and 2346. |
|
|
Beacon Interva | When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes |
| with it a 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 |
| mode before waking up to handle the beacon. This value can be |
| set from 30ms 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. |
|
|
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%(Full Power), 50%, 25%, 12.5% or Minimum. See the |
| product specifications for more information on your NWA’s output |
| power. |
