5. Advanced Settings
Fragmentation Threshold – Enter the size at which the packets will be fragmented.
RTS/CTS Threshold – Enter the minimum packet size to require RTS (Request To Send)
handshaking limiting on-the air collisions. For packets smaller than this threshold, a RTS is not
sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. For packets larger than this threshold
the RTS/CTS handshaking is established. This value should be only changed while operating as
an Access Point Client.
Distance to the Access Point – Configure distance between OSBRiDGE 5XLi/5GXi device and
the Access Point it is connecting to.
Tx Power - By default, the OSBRiDGE 5XLi/5GXi transmits data at the maximum output power
for the regulatory domain selected and frequency used. With Transmit Power Control (TPC), you
can adjust the output power of the unit to a lower level in order to reduce interference from
neighboring devices.
WLAN Speed – Choose data rate the device will support while connecting to the Access Point.
Available Data Rates are:
–
6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps for regular 802.11a mode,
–
12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 108 Mbps in 802.11a Turbo mode,
–
3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 27 Mbps for 802.11a mode with 10 MHz channel width,
–
1.5, 2.25, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12 and 13.5 Mbps for 802.11a mode with 5 MHz channel width.
Data Encryption – Enable or Disable over the air Data Encryption here.
Encryption – Please select generic WLAN encryption scheme: WEP or WPA-PSK (TKIP).
WEP Key – Enter WEP encryption key here. Keys are entered as hexadecimal numbers in
following format:
64 bit WEP: xxxx-xxxx-xx
128 bit WEP: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx
156 bit WEP: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Pre-shared WPA Key – the key is entered as 8-63 characters long string, ie. OSBRiDGE.
Supported Data Rates – Enable or Disable WLAN Data Rates the OSBRiDGE device should
support when communicating with other devices.
