c) Advanced Wireless Configuration
The advance wireless settings are specifically for advanced users who like to tweak their network using
these configurations.
•
Fragmentation Threshold is a value that determines what should be the frame size or the MTU
(Maximum Transmission Unit) size during the wireless transmission.
•
RTS Threshold deals with the sizing of the RTS(Request to Send) Packet which is really essential to
start a wireless transmission
•
Beacon Period determines the polling time whenever a beacon is sent between a base station and a
client to keep the connection alive and get information about the connection status.
•
DTIM Interval determines the updation of the distributed traffic indication map within the AP.
•
Propagation Distance is responsible for setting the distance as a fixed parameter and to tell the AP
that the transmission that is taking place has a propagation of X Kms
•
802.11d Enable turns the feature of spanning tree protocol (802.11d) which is a wireless network
communications specification for use in countries where systems using other standards in the 802.11
family are not allowed to operate.
•
Transmit Power or TPC field is used to set the transmit power of the AP in dBm. The max value that
can be set is 30dBm or 1 Watt.
•
WDS Enable turns the Wireless Distribution System on. You can give MAC Addresses of other APs
to which this AP would talk to through this option and the whole system would act as a WDS.
