AWK-5232
Web Console Configuration
3-21
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
(256 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 Chapter 5 for detailed information about the above-mentioned
settings. By setting these parameters properly, you can better tune the performance of your wireless network.
Noise protection
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/Disable
Adjusts the interference coping capability of the wireless signal.
This option should be enabled for communication distance
under 500 meters, and should be disabled for communication
distances over 500 meters.
Enable
Transmission enhancement
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/Disable
This setting can enhance communication by strengthening the
AWK-5232’s transmission power. It is quite useful for
long-distance transmission or countering environmental
interference. The user must carefully evaluate and measure the
transmission power of the entire system to ensure it stays
below the regulative limit. In addition, that RF type 802.11a
mode cannot be used if this function is enabled.
Disable
NOTE
Make sure the same Transmission distance parameters are set in both AP and Client. When this parameter
is greater than 500, an optimal algorithm will be enabled to support long-distance transmission.
Note that Transmission enhancement only supports 802.11b/g/n mode; 802.11a mode is not supported.
Transmission enhancement is also recommended to enable communication at both ends when
long-distance transmission is required. A high-gain antenna installed at a fixed antenna connector can also
improve performance.
EAPOL Version
Setting
Description
Factory Default
1
EAPOL version 1 was standardized in the 2001 version of
802.1X, which is much more commonly implemented.
1
2
EAPOL version 2 was specified in 802.1X-2004.
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
Full 11a channel support
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/Disable
Enabling this option allows users to select 5GHz channels from
both licensed and unlicensed bands.
