Aggregation | Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet |
| |
| frames along with their 802.11n headers and wraps them in a |
| 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for increasing bandwidth |
| throughput in environments that are prone to high error rates. |

Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated. | |

MSDU |
|
Aggregation | Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames |
| without any of their 802.11n headers and wraps the |
| payload in a single 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for |
| increasing bandwidth throughput. It is also more efficient than A- |
| MPDU except in environments that are prone to high error rates. |
|
|
Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated. | |
|
|
RTS/CTS | Use RTS/CTS to reduce data collisions on the wireless network if you |
Threshold | have wireless clients that are associated with the same AP but out of |
| range of one another. When enabled, a wireless client sends an RTS |
| (Request To Send) and then waits for a CTS (Clear To Send) before it |
| transmits. This stops wireless clients from transmitting packets at the |
| same time (and causing data collisions). |
| A wireless client sends an RTS for all packets larger than the number |
| (of bytes) that you enter here. Set the RTS/CTS equal to or higher |
| than the fragmentation threshold to turn RTS/CTS off. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Beacon | When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with |
Interval | 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 |
| to handle the beacon. 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 255. |
|
|
Output Power | Set the output power of the AP in this field. If there is a high density |
| of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the NWA5160N to |
| reduce interference with other APs. Select one of the following |
| 100%(Full Power), 50%, 25%, or 12.5%. See the product |
| specifications for more information on your |
| output power. |
| Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the |
| series AP’s effective broadcast radius. |
