AT-TQ2403 Management Software User's Guide 109
Field Description
Mode The Mode defines the Physical Layer (PHY) standard being used by the radio.
The AT-TQ2403 is available as a dual band access point.
Select one of these modes:
For Radio Interface 1
IEEE 802.11a
Atheros Turbo 5 GHz
Atheros Dynamic Turbo 5 GHz
For Radio Interface 2
IEEE 802.11b
IEEE 802.11g
Atheros Turbo 2.4 GHz
Atheros Dynamic Turbo 2.4 GHz
Note:
Different modes may be available depending on whether Radio One or
Radio Two is selected in the Radio field above.
When you select the radio Mode, the appropriate set of Basic and
Supported Rates for that Mode is automatically selected. (See description
of "Rate Sets" below in this table.)
The turbo function depends on Country Domain and Product model. Not
all country and model support the turbo function.

Broadcast/Multicast
Rate Limiting
Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network
performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted across the
network.
Some protocols use multicast and broadcast packets for traffic that the
majority of nodes on a network are uninterested in. For example, ARP
requests for other machines, DHCP or BOOTP messages. For some
protocols, if you set a rate limit control you limit the number of redundant
packets transmitted across the network. Typically, any filtered traffic will be
retransmitted at a later time and will not cause difficulties.
To enable Multicast and Broadcast Rate Limiting, click
Enabled.
To disable Multicast and Broadcast Rate Disabled, click
Disabled.
By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Li
miting option is disabled. Until you
enable Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting, the following fields will be disabled.
Broadcast/Multicast
Rate Limit
Enter the rate limit you want to set for multicast and broadcast traffic. The limit
should be greater than 1, but less than 50 packets per second. Any traffic that
falls below this rate limit will always conform and be transmitted to the
appropriate destination.
