Multicast Rate: This option allows Multicast packets to be sent in higher rates (up to the 54
Mbps) than commonly used (6 Mbps at IEEE 802.11g/a mode). This is ALTAI's A2 proprietary
feature thus it may be incompatible with the devices from other vendors. Both A2 based devices
the sender and the receiver must have the same Multicast Rate configured in order to achieve
better multicast packet throughput performance
RTS/CTS Threshold: RTS is a flow control mechanism to prevent collision between 802.11b
and 802.11g mobile stations to send data to the access point in the same time. CTS is another
flow control mechanism to prevent collision when two mobile stations, who do not know the
existence of each other, send data to the access point in the same time. RTS and CTS are used
for point-to-multipoint bridge application and they are enabled when the threshold set to 2347.
4.20.6 Signal Indication Configure
LED of LAN port is also used to indicate the 5GHz Bridge signal alignment. The Signal
Indication function can be activated under 5GHz radio advance configuration from web
interface.
The LED Signal indicator range could be configured from web page. The 3 signal level input
should be in ascending order form left to right. The default setting of LED signal threshold is
-80, -70 and -60. The 3 displayed signal levels are classified as:
Table 10 LED signal level
Buzzer can also be used for 5GHz Bridge signal strength alignment. User can activate the buzzer
under advanced setting of 5GHz radio. Buzzer beep frequency depends on the signal strength
level. Buzzer will be turned off after a pre-defined period. Beep duration could be set from 0 to
15 sec and by default beep duration is 0s.
4.20.7 Remote Bridge Configuration
The MAC address of the remote AP should be added into the field MAC Address, and the
remote AP should add the MAC address of local AP to form a bridge. Moreover, all bridging
equipments including both local AP and remote APs should be set at the Same Radio
Frequency.
4.20.8 Bridge Security
By enabling Bridge Security in the 5GHz Configuration, as shown in Error! Reference source
not found., users can input an encryption key for the bridge. Note: if the Local AP and Remote
AP mismatch the encryption type or encryption key, there will be no link established by 5GHz
radio. Please make sure the security parameter setting at the both ends of the bridge.
