SSID. The valid length shall not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters and case-sensitive.
All SSID would broadcast its own beacon. The default SSID is “AP_2G”.
5) Suppress SSID
When you enable “Suppress SSID” function, SSID information will be removed from AP
broadcast frame. Thus, only those stations aware of the SSID can associate with AP. The
default setting is disabled.
6) Security
By default, the security is disabled. Please refer to Chapter 6 4X for security setting to
configure the security features such as WEP, WPA-TKIP, WPA-AES, WPA2-TKIP and
WPA2-AES.
7) RTS Threshold
In order to prevent the transmission collision in a hidden nodes environment, AP may
send a RTS (Request To Send) before transmitting the data frame and expect to receive a
CTS (Clear To Send) from the client. the threshold for those frame size greater than the
threshold needs to activate RTS/CTS mechanism. The valid range is between 256 and 2347.
Set low value to this threshold may avoid collision, but the RTS/CTS frame would consume
bandwidth. The default RTS threshold value is “2347”.
8) Tx Power
Available selection of Transmit Power are Full, Half (-3dB), Quarter (-6dB), and Eighth
(-9dB). Select the appropriate Transmit Power according to the distance and
environmental factor between Bridges. The default setting is “Full”.
9) Click “Save” and then “Reboot” button when you finish setting up for parameter changes
taking effect.
