These are not the precise values. Depending on hardware used and many other factors they may vary
up to +/- 15 microseconds.
You can also use
dynamic
ack-timeout value - the router will determine
ack-timeout
setting
automatically by sending periodically packets with a different ack-timeout. Ack-timeout values by which
ACK frame was received are saved and used later to determine the real ack-timeout.
The Nstreme protocol may be operated in three modes:
•
Point-to-Point mode
- controlled point-to-point mode with one radio on each side
•
Dual radio Point-to-Point mode (Nstreme2)
- the protocol will use two radios on both sides
simultaneously (one for transmitting data and one for receiving), allowing superfast point-to-point
connection
•
Point-to-Multipoint
- controlled point-to-multipoint mode with client polling (like AP-controlled
TokenRing)
•

Description
In this section we will discuss the most important part of the configuration.
Property Description
ack-timeout
(integer | dynamic | indoors) - acknowledgement code timeout (transmission acceptance
timeout) in microseconds for acknowledgement messages. Can be one of these:
dynamic
- ack-timeout is chosen automatically
indoors
- standard constant for indoor usage
adaptive-noise-immunity
(yes | no; default:
yes
) - adjust various receiver parameters dynamically to
minimize interference and noise effect on the signal quality.
allow-sharedkey
(yes | no; default:
no
) - allow WEP Shared Key cilents to connect. Note that no
authentication is done for these clients (WEP Shared keys are not compared to anything) - they are just
accepted at once (if access list allows that)
antenna-gain
(
integer
; default:
0
) - antenna gain in dBi. This parameter will be used to calculate whether
your system meets regulatory domain's requirements in your country
antenna-mode
(ant-a | ant-b | rxa-txb | txa-rxb; default:
ant-a
) - which antenna to use for
transmit/receive data:
ant-a
- use only antenna a
ant-b
- use only antenna b
rxa-txb
- use antenna a for receiving packets, use antenna b for transmitting packets
txa-rxb
- use antenna a for transmitting packets, antenna b for receiving packets
area
(
text
; default:
""
) - string value that is used to describe an Access Point.
Connect List
on the
Client's side comparing this string value with
area-prefix
string value makes decision whether allow a
Client connect to the AP. If
area-prefix
match the entire area string or only the beginning of it the
Client is allowed to connect to the AP
arp
(disabled | enabled | proxy-arp | reply-only; default:
enabled
) - Address Resolution Protocol setting
