Protocol
(5GHz, 2.4 GHz)
This section displays the wireless protocols which your AP are using.
Channel Bonding
(5GHz, 2.4 GHz)
This drop-down menu is only available for 802.11bgn or 802.11n protocols only.
There are three options: 20 MHz, 20/40 MHz and 40 MHz
With this feature enabled, it allows the Wi-Fi system to use two channels at once. Using
two channels improves the performance of the Wi-Fi connection
Channel
(5GHz, 2.4 GHz)
This drop-down menu selects the 802.11 channel to be utilized. Available options are
from 1 to 11 for the country setting of North America and from 1 to 13 for the country
setting of Europe region, respectively. (Channel 14 is only available when the country is
selected as Japan with protocol 802.11b.)
If Auto is set, the system would perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time
set and choose the most suitable channel automatically.
Management VLAN
ID
This field specifies the VLAN ID to tag to management traffic, such as AP to AP-
controller communication traffic. The value is zero by default, meaning that no VLAN
tagging will be applied. NOTE: Change this value with caution as alterations may result
in loss of connection to the AP controller.
Power Boost
A
With this option enabled, the AP under this profile will transmit using additional power.
Please note that using this option with several AP in close proximity will lead to increased
interference.
Output Power
A
This drop-down menu determines the power at which the AP under this profile will
broadcast. When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the specified power
level regardless of context. When Dynamic settings are selected, the AP will adjust its
power level based on its surrounding AP in order to maximize performance.
The
Dynamic: Auto
setting will set the AP to do this automatically. Otherwise, the
Dynamic: Manual
setting will set the AP to dynamically adjust only of instructed to do
so. If you have set Dynamic:Manual, you can go to
AP > Toolbox > Auto Power Adj.
to
give your AP further instructions.
Beacon Rate
A
This drop-down menu provides the option to send beacon in different transmit bit rate
and the bit rates are: 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 6Mbps, 11Mbps.
Beacon Interval
A
This drop-down menu provides the option to set the time between each beacon send.
Available options are: 100ms, 250ms and 500ms.
DTIM
A
This field provides the option to set the frequency for beacon to include Delivery Traffic
Indication Message, DTIM. The interval unit is measured in milliseconds.
Slot Time
A
This field provides the option to modify the unit wait time before it transmits. The default
value is 9
μs.
ACK Timeout
A
This field provides the option to set the wait time to receive acknowledgement packet
