DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hide ESSID

Select this check box to hide the ESSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station

 

 

 

cannot obtain the ESSID through passive scanning using a site survey tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tx Power

Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook

 

 

 

computers). This control changes the strength of the ZyAIR’s antenna gain or

 

 

 

transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units compared to

 

 

 

milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves the range of the

 

 

 

signal for better communications.

 

 

 

Select Level 0 (Maximum Power) to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.

 

 

 

Select Level 1 to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.

 

 

 

Select Level 2 to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.

 

 

 

Select Level 3 (Minimum Power) to set the ZyAIR’s antenna to transmit at 11-dBm.

 

 

 

This allows for the least power consumption.

Fragmentation

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.

 

 

Threshold

It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Refer to Section 2.3 for more

 

 

 

information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RTS/CTS

Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.

 

 

Threshold

Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size

 

 

 

turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Refer to Section 2.4 for more information.

 

 

 

Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preamble

Select a preamble type. Choices are Long and Short.
