Chapter 4: Basic Settings
802.11 Mode
The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender can communicate with wireless devices that conform to 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n.
HT Protect
Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under 802.11n mode, the wireless client
can be divided into HT STA and Non-HT STA. The one with HT protect enabled gets higher throughput.
Frequency/Channel
Channel varies because the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper operating channel in the drop-down
list according to your situation.
Extension Channel
This channel only applies to AP, AP Repeater, and 40MHz channel width. Using channel bonding, it enables the Wireless P-T-P
Ethernet Extender to use two channels at once. Two options are available: Upper Channel and Lower Channel.
Channel Mode
Four levels are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. The last one can enhance data throughput, but it takes more
bandwidth, so it might cause potential interference.
Antenna
By default, the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender uses its built-in antenna for directional transmission; however, if you prefer to use
an external antenna for your application, you can switch from “Internal (8 dBi)” to ”External (N-Type).”
When External (N-Type) is selected, an Antenna Gain bar will appear to allow you to specify the gain of the external antenna. The
antenna gain calculates the TX power back off needed to remain in compliance with regulations.
CAUTION: You are able to choose “External (N-Type)” only when you have installed the external antenna; otherwise, the Wireless
P-T-P Ethernet Extender might be damaged.
NOTES:
The maximum output power will vary depending on the country selected to comply with the local regulation.
The output power here is counted from the RF single chain only, not including the 8-dBi internal antenna.
Maximum Output Power (per chain)
Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the wider the area the signal can cover, but the power
consumption will be greater accordingly.
Data Rate
Usually “Auto” is preferred. Under this rate, the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender will automatically select the highest available rate
to transmit. In some cases, however, when there is no great demand for speed, you can have a relatively low transmit rate to
enable a longer distance.
Extension Channel Protection Mode
This is to avoid conflict with other wireless networks and boost the ability of your device to catch all 802.11g transmissions.
However, it may decrease wireless network performance. Compared to CTS-Self, the transmission amount of CTS-RTS is much
lower.
Enable MAC Clone
Available only under the wireless client mode, it hides the MAC address of the AP while displaying the one of an associated wire-
less client or the MAC address designated manually.
