RTS / CTS Threshold (The default value is 65535.) This option
determines at what packet length the RTS/CTS
function is triggered. A lower threshold may be
necessary in an environment with excessive
signal noise or hidden nodes; but may result in
some performance degradation.
Beacon Interval (The default value is 300.) This value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon in milliseconds.
A beacon is a broadcast packet sent by the
Wireless Bridge to synchronize the wireless
network.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) (The default value is 1.) This value indicates the
interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). This is a countdown field that the device
uses to inform its clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast or multicast messages.
Distance Manually setting a distance can help with
configuration of RTS/CTS thresholds and other
wireless settings. Select the approximate
distance (within 1 km) between Root and Non-
Root bridges.
