Tx Pwr Mode and Fixed Pwr Level
The Tx Power Mode can be set during configuration. The default is Auto, which
provides the largest range of radio transmission power levels available under normal
conditions. The AP's broadcast range can be limited by setting the Tx Power Mode to
Fixed and then choosing a Fixed Pwr Level from 1-8, (1 being the lowest power level).
You can set the Tx Pwr Mode to Off to prevent any RF transmission, if desired.

Description
Beacon interval 20-1000
The time interval in milliseconds in which the
802.11 beacon is transmitted by the AP.
RTS Threshold 1-2346 The number of bytes used for the RTS/CTS
handshake boundary. When a packet size is
greater than the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS
handshaking is performed.
DTIM 1-255 The number of beacon intervals that broadcast
and multicast traffic is buffered for a client in
power save mode.
Basic Rates
The basic rates used and reported by the AP.
The highest rate specified is the rate that the AP
uses when transmitting broadcast/multicast and
management frames.
Note: The Tx rate should not exceed 12 Mbps if
the system is to operate with wireless sensors.
This is to prevent the possibility of overloading
the WSG with WiFi traffic and allow the gateway
application to operate efficiently.
Basic Rates for 802.11b and 802.11b/g Mixed -
1, 2 Mbps or 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps
