LABEL

DESCRIPTION

RTS/CTS

Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS (Request To

ThresholdSend)/CTS (Clear To Send) handshake.

 

Enter a value between 256 and 2432.

 

 

FragmentationThe threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed

Threshold

messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter an even

 

number between 256 and 2346.

 

 

Output Power

Set the output power of the NBG4615 in this field. If there is a high density of APs

 

in an area, decrease the output power of the NBG4615 to reduce interference with

 

other APs. Select one of the following 100%, 90%, 75%, 50%, 25% or 10%.

 

See the product specifications for more information on your NBG4615’s output

 

power.

 

 

HT (High Throughput) Physical Mode - Use the fields below to configure the 802.11 wireless environment of your NBG4615.

Operating ModeChoose this according to the wireless mode(s) used in your network.

 

Mixed - Select this if the wireless clients in your network use different wireless

 

modes (for example, IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.1n modes)

 

Green - Select this if the wireless clients in your network uses only one type of

 

wireless mode (for example, IEEEE 802.11 n only)

 

 

Channel

Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.

Bandwidth

It is recommended that you select 20/40 (20/40 MHz).

 

 

Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices

 

in your neighborhood.
