6.4.3 Bridge Mode
Use this screen to have the ZyXEL Device act as a wireless network bridge and
establish wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the
peer device, which also must be in bridge mode.
RTS/CTS
Threshold (Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/
CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will
perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than
the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to its smallest value (1) turns on the
RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between
1 and 2346 .
Fragmentation The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for
directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be
sent. Enter an even number between
256 and 2346 .
Rates
Configuration This section controls the data rates permitted for clients.
For each Rate , select an option from the Configuration list. The options
are:
• Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access
point at this speed.
• Optional : Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when
permitted to do so by the AP.
• Disable : Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed.
Enable
Antenna
Diversity Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple
antennas to reduce signal interference.
Enable
Spanning Tree
Control (STP) (R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with
other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one
path exists between any two stations on the network. Select the check
box to activate STP on the ZyXEL Device.
