AirWorks AWK-3131A
Web Console Configuration
3-26
Minimum transmission rate
Setting
Description
Factory Default
0 to 64 Mbps
(0 to disable)
By setting a minimum transmission rate, the AWK-1137C will
avoid communicate with weak signal wireless links to maintain
overall wireless performance and optimize the wireless
frequency usage.
0 (Disable)
Transmission power
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Available power
Users can manually select a target power to mask max output
power. Because different transmission rates would have their
own max output power, please reference product datasheet.
For 802.11bg, the available setting is from 0 to 20
20 dBm
Fragmentation threshold
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Fragment Length
(256 to 2346)
Specifies the maximum size a data packet before splitting and
creating another new packet
2346
RTS threshold
Setting
Description
Factory Default
RTS/CTS Threshold
(32 to 2346)
Determines how large a packet can be before the Access Point
coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient
communication.
2346
NOTE
You can refer to the related glossaries in Appendix A for detailed information about the above-mentioned
settings. By setting these parameters properly, you can better tune the performance of your wireless network.
Antenna
Setting
Description
Factory Default
A/B/Both
Specifies the output antenna port. Setting “Antenna” to Auto
allows 2x2 MIMO communication under 802.11n and 2T2R*
communication in legacy 802.11a/b/g modes.
Both
*Different from 802.11n’s multiple spatial data stream (2x2 MIMO), which doubles the throughput, 2T2R
transmits/receives the same piece of data on both antenna ports.
WMM
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/Disable
WMM is a QoS standard for WLAN traffic. Voice and video data
will be given priority bandwidth when enabled with WMM
supported wireless clients.
NOTE: WMM will always be enabled under 802.11n mode.
Enable
Turbo Roaming
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/ Disable
Moxa’s Turbo Roaming can enable rapid handover when the
AWK-1137C, as a client, roams among a group of APs.
Disable
When Turbo Roaming is enabled, the following parameters will be shown:
•
Roaming threshold:
Determines when to start looking for new AP candidates. If the current connection
quality (SNR or Signal Strength) is lower than the specified threshold, the AWK will start background
scanning and look for next-hop candidates.
NOTE
While the AWK device is performing background scanning, the wireless performance will be reduced by 1/3 of
its normal performance.
