4.12.4 Transmit Power
The value of the Transmit Power depends on both the gain of the antenna and the maximum
value of the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (Max EIRP) allowed by the country in which
A3 is used. The Transmit Power should be configured within the given range as shown in
Figure 16.
NOTE: Click the Update icon to store the changed settings.
4.12.5 Advanced Radio Setting
More radio parameters can be verified and altered by selecting the Advanced icon in the field of
Advanced Setting. The parameters are shown in Figure 17. The following table showed is the
best suggested interval worked with the current operated APs. Note that it is not suggested to
change the parameters in Advanced Radio Settings unless you are experienced administrators.

Table 3 Beacon Interval
Fragment Threshold: It means the size of each frame. If it is set to 256 bytes and the size of data
block is 1024 bytes, the data block will be divided to four frames to send.
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 2346.
