The throughput rate of the status display page is used to refer to the amount of data transmitted over the network per unit time. It is the main indicator for measuring network performance. Through it, users can monitor the speed of data transmission by the device in real time.
User Manual CForce N100 5 TDMA Currently, most of the outdoor bridge products are developed based on 802.11 protocols, however, it has the limitations of short-distance, hidden node problems, and poor point-to-multi-point performance.
User Manual CForce N100 Note: When using TDMA mode, the TDMA button need to be enabled at both AP and station devices in the web-based configuration menu. The devices from other vendors cannot be connected to CFORCE N100 in the TDMA mode.
User Manual CForce N100 Figure 6-2 Wireless-AP Wireless Mode: There are totally 4 wireless modes, including: Station, Access Point, WDS Station, and WDS Access Point. Access point: The wireless access node, the station device connects to it, the station device can be a computer, a mobile phone, a wireless bridge, etc., and an AP can connect to multiple stations. Station: It needs to be used with the AP. It connects to the AP. A station can only connect to one AP.
User Manual CForce N100 Figure 6-3 Access Point Information Frequency Scan List: When the device is in station mode, check “Enable”, click “Select”, the user can enter “Frequency Scan List” to select the frequency by himself, and check “Scope”. Users can set the frequency range by themselves. When the frequency of the AP is not the frequency selected by the station, the station cannot connect to the AP.
User Manual CForce N100 IEEE 802.11 Mode: The wireless LAN standard, which defaults to A/N mixed to ensure optimal transmission rate. Country Code: Different countries or regions have different standard channels, which are distinguished by country codes. Channel Width: The channel width refers to the maximum data transmission rate of the channel. Max TX Rate, Mbps: The maximum transmission and reception rate of the device.
User Manual CForce N100 7 Network 7.1 Router mode In the router mode, CFORCE N100 is equivalent to a router, which has a WAN port and a LAN port. At this time, the LAN port on the CFORCE N100 is equivalent to the LAN port of the router, and the LAN port on the PoE power supply is equivalent to the WAN port of the router. The route mode page is shown below: Figure 7-1 Router mode WAN Mode: The WAN mode item is an option for the WAN port to obtain an IP address.
User Manual CForce N100 WAN Netmask: The subnet mask of the WAN port, which exists only under static IP and is used with the WAN IP. Note: WAN IP address should not be the same as the IP devices of the internet to avoid collision. Primary DNS and Secondary DNS: DNS server, set to the value of the local DNS server. Gateway IP: Generally, the gateway address and the WAN IP address are on the same network segment, and are generally set to the LAN port address of the upper-level router.

The firewall is enabled, the firewall default policy is Accept, the target of the IP address filtering is Deny, the interface eth0, the IP protocol is IP, the source IP/mask 192.168.1.100/32, and other values are null. 2. Filter the device whose MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:01. The firewall is enabled. The firewall default policy is Accept.
User Manual CForce N100 egress is limited to 20480Kbps. That means the receiving rate of the wireless link is limited within 10Mbps, the sending rate is limited to less than 20Mbps. But usually, the input limited effect is not obviously, that’s because we could not control how quickly the traffic arrives. However, when a port sends out egress traffic, it can control how quickly the traffic exits. Burst defines the how many bytes allowed for downloading/uploading during a quick time.
User Manual CForce N100 The relationship of rate and burst for egress: Set burst less than 1/10 of rate limit, the rate curve is stable totally Set burst larger than rate limit, the rate curve will hold a while at a higher value then down to stable Below is the table that reflects the relationship between egress rate limit and burst. Egress Rate Limit(kbps) Burst(Kbytes) 20000 20000 20000 20000 0 20 200 2000 20000 20000 20000 80000 Throughput when reach stable （Mbps Description ） 18.
User Manual CForce N100 VLAN 10 (that is, ath0 adds a virtual interface with ID 10); wired eth0 interface needs to connect to devices that support VLAN 10 (such as VLAN switches, and supports VLANs with ID 10). Figure 7-5 Bridge Network 7.9 WMM Mapping Enable WMM mapping to perform QoS on the device data stream and match the specified data stream and adjust the priority of the specified data stream. Different network service quality is provided for various application scenarios.
User Manual CForce N100 ensure that packets with high priority classification preferentially preempt the wireless channel and transmit.
