Wi-Fi device IE-WL-BL-AP-CL
Web Console Configuration
3-34
Beacon interval (for AP/Master mode only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Beacon Interval
(40 to 1000 ms)
Indicates the frequency interval of the beacon
100 (ms)
Inactive timeout (for AP mode only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
1 to 240 seconds
Specifies how long before access point starts sending out client
alive packets
60 seconds
DTIM interval (for AP/Master mode only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Data Beacon Rate
(1 to 15)
Indicates how often the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL sends out a Delivery
Traffic Indication Message
1
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 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 “Both”
allows 2x2 MIMO communication under 802.11n and 2T2R*
communication in legacy 802.11a/b/g modes.
Both
*Note: 2T2R is 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 the 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 (for Client mode only)
Setting
Description
Factory Default
Enable/ Disable
Weidmüller
’s Turbo Roaming can enable rapid handover when
the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL, 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 IE-WL-BL-AP-CL will start
background scanning and look for next-hop candidates.
