Setup “Bridge Distance” according to the longest link distance between the
Master and Slaves in the network. The input needs to be greater than or equal
to the real distance. The range can be from 1KM to 35KM. In Master Bridge
mode, the maximum distance information of the bridge links needs to be fit.

RTS Threshold
In order to prevent the transmission collision in a hidden nodes environment,
Bridge may send a RTS (Request To Send) before transmitting the data frame
and expect to receive a CTS (Clear To Send) from remote Bridge. You may
define a threshold for those frame size greater than the threshold need to
activate RTS/CTS mechanism. The valid range is between 256 and 2347. Set
low value to this threshold may avoid collision, but the RTS/CTS frame would
consume bandwidth. The default RTS threshold value is “2347”.
Note: In Point to Multi-Point application, the transmission collision
may be caused by hidden nodes affection in particular environment or
network configuration. Setting smaller number of RTS threshold could
alleviate the hidden nodes problem.

Tx Power
Available selection of Transmit Power are Full, Half (-3dB), Quarter (-6dB),
and Eighth (-9dB). Select the appropriate Transmit Power according to the
distance and environmental factor between Bridges. The default setting is
“Full”.
11)
Auto Reboot
Default is “Disable”, when “auto-reboot” feature is enabled, if near-end AP
cannot receive “alive message” from far-end AP in a certain period. Then,
“auto-reboot” will be automatic performed at near-end AP without notice. The
“alive message” is communicated between near-end & far-end AP via 5GHz
bridge links.

Click “Save” and then “Reboot” button when you finish setting up for
parameter changes taking effect.
