LABEL

DESCRIPTION

RTS/CTS

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

Threshold

(Request To Send)/CTS (Clear To Send) handshake.

 

Enter a value between 256 and 2432.

 

 

Fragmentatio

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for

n Threshold

directed 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 WAP3205 in this field. If there is a high

 

density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the WAP3205 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 WAP3205’s output power.

 

 

Network

Select 11b only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to

Mode

associate with the WAP3205.

 

Select 11g only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to

 

associate with the WAP3205.

 

Select 11 b/g mixed mode to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g

 

compliant WLAN devices to associate with the WAP3205. The transmission

 

rate of your WAP3205 might be reduced.

Select 11 b/g/n mixed mode to allow both IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the WAP3205. The transmission rate of your WAP3205 might be reduced.

HT (High Throughput) Physical Mode - Use the fields below to configure the 802.11 wireless environment of your WAP3205.

Operating

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

Mode

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 MHz.

 

 

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

 

devices in your neighborhood.

 

 

Guard

Select Auto to increase data throughput. However, this may make data

Interval

transfer more prone to errors.

 

Select Long to prioritize data integrity. This may be because your wireless

 

network is busy and congested or the WAP3205 is located in an

 

environment prone to radio interference.

 

 

Extension

This is set to Auto by default.

Channel

If you select 20/40 MHz as your Channel Bandwidth, the extension

 

 

channel enables the WAP3205 to get higher data throughput. This also

 

lowers radio interference and traffic.
