Neighbor AP
Detection
Use this option to control whether the access
point listens for neighboring access points. Here
are the options:
- Enabled: The access point listens for
neighboring access points and displays them in
the Neighbor AP window. Refer to “Displaying
Neighboring Access Points” on page 125.
- Disabled: The access point does not listen for
neighboring access points. This is the default
setting.
RTS Threshold Specifies the size in octets of MPDUs that initiate
a Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send
(CTS) handshake, in IEEE 802.11b/g. The range
is 0 to 2347 octets. The default is 2347 octets.
You can use this parameter to control the use of
RTS/CTS handshakes when the access point
transmits MPDUs. The access point uses the
handshake before transmitting MPDUs that
exceed the defined threshold. If you specify a low
value, RTS packets are sent more frequently,
which may consume more bandwidth and reduce
the throughput. But more RTS packets may help
a network recover from interference or collisions,
which might occur on a busy network.
Legacy Rates Select the supported and advertised data
transmission rates for IEEE 802.11b/g of the
radio. Here are the guidelines:
- The data rates vary by country.
- The default is all data rates are enabled.
- Radios are generally more efficient when they
advertise subsets of their supported data rates.
Multicast Tx
Rate
Select the maximum amount of multicast packets
the radio can transmit per second. The default
values are listed here:
- 2.4GHz Radio1: 11Mbps
- 5GHz Radio2: 6Mbps
- 5GHz Radio3: 6Mbps
