The advanced wireless settings for the Access Point
’s VAP (Virtual Access Point) profiles allow
customization of data transmission settings. The administrator can tune the following parameters to
improve network communication performance if a poor connection occurs.
Advanced Wireless Settings Page
RTS Threshold:
Enter a value between 1 and 2346. RTS (Request to Send) Threshold
determines
the packet size at which the system issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the fragment to
prevent the hidden node problem. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the
value provided
.
A lower RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are
associating with the AP or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the AP but not
each other.
Fragmentation Threshold:
Enter a value between 256 and 2346. The default is 2346. A packet size
larger than this threshold will be fragmented (sent with several pieces instead of one chunk) before
transmission. A smaller value results in smaller frames but allows a larger number of frames in
transmission. A lower Fragment Threshold setting can be useful in areas where communication is
poor or disturbed by a serious amount of radio interference.
DTIM Period:
Input the DTIM Interval that is generated within the periodic beacon at a specified
frequency. Higher DTIM will allow the wireless client to save more energy, but the throughput will be
lowered.
Broadcast SSID:
Disabling this function will stop the system from broadcasting its SSID. If broadcast
of the SSID is disabled, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect to the system.
Wireless Station Isolation:
By enabling this function, all stations associated with the system are
isolated and can only communicate with the system.
