LABEL DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS
Threshold
Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS
(Request To Send)/CTS (Clear To Send) handshake.
Enter a value between 256 and 2432.
Fragmentatio
n Threshold
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for
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
Mode
Select 11b only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
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
Mode
Choose 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
Bandwidth
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
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
Interval
Select Auto to increase data throughput. However, this may make data
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
Channel
This is set to Auto by default.
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.
