4.0 Configuration
The Wireless Distance parameter allows a user to set the
expected distance the WiFi signal needs to travel. The default
is 3km, so the IPn4G will assume that the signal may need to
travel up to 3km so it sets various internal timeouts to account
for this travel time. Longer distances will require a higher
setting, and shorter distances may perform better if the setting
is reduced.

Once the RTS Threshold defined packet size is reached, the
system will invoke RTS/CTS flow control. A large RTS
Threshold will improve bandwidth, while a smaller RTS
Threshold will help the system recover from interference or
collisions caused by obstructions.

The Fragmentation Threshold allows the system to change the
maximum RF packet size. Increasing the RF packet size
reduces the need to break packets into smaller fragments.
Increasing the fragmentation threshold slightly may improve
performance if a high packet error rate is experienced.

Radio1 Virtual Interface
The bottom section of the Wireless Configuration provides for the configuration of the Operating
Mode of the Wireless Interface, the TX power, Wireless Network information, and Wireless
Encryption. The IPn4G can support multiple virtual interfaces. These interfaces provide different
SSID’s for different users, and can also be assigned to separate subnets (Network Interfaces) to
prevent groups from interacting.
