Channel table – select the channel(s) at which the Access Point will operate. If more than one
channel is selected, then autochannel feature will be enabled. Automatic channel selection allows AP
to select a channel which is not used by any other wireless device or, if there are no free channels
available - to select a channel which is least occupied.
AdvancedRadioSettings
Advanced parameters allow configuring the device to get the best performance/capacity of the link.
Max 802.11n MCS index – choose the maximum rates to specify the modulation and coding scheme
(MCS) rates at which data can be transmitted between the access point and the client. If there will be
an interference encountered, the APC will step down to the highest rate that allows data transmission.
Max legacy data rate – choose the maximum data rate in Mbps at which AP should transmit packets.
The AP will attempt to transmit data at the highest data rate set. If there will be an interference
encountered, the APC will step down to the highest rate that allows data transmission.
AMSDU – enable the AMSDU packet aggregation. If enabled, the maximum size of the 802.11 MAC
frames will be increased.
Short GI – enable short guard interval. If selected, then 400ns value will be used, else 800ns.
Fragmentation – specify the Fragmentation threshold using slider or enter the value manually [256-
2346 bytes]. This is the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets.
Setting the Fragmentation threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
modifications of this value are recommended.
RTS/CTS – specify the RTS threshold using slider or enter the value manually [0-2347 bytes]. The
RTS threshold determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of an access point,
helps control traffic flow.
ACK timeout – specify the ACK timeout using slider or enter the value manually. Ack timeout can be
entered by defining the link distance or specifying time value. Too low value of the ACK timeout will
give very low throughput. A high value may slow down the link in noisy environment. A low value is far
worse than a value slightly too high. ACK Timeout value should be tuned to the optimal value for the
maximum link throughput.
WirelessSettings(AP)
The wireless table allows configure main AP parameters, such as SSID, Security, WACL, etc. Click on
the edit icon
and the wireless settings window will be displayed:
SSID – specify the SSID of the wireless network device.
Broadcast SSID – enables or disables the broadcasting of the SSID for AP.
AdvancedAPSettings
Client isolation – select to enable the layer 2 isolation that blocks clients from communicating with
each other. Client isolations is available only in Access Point (auto WDS) and Access Point Repeater
mode.
Map to data VLAN ID – specify the VLAN ID for traffic tagging on particular radio interface. The
Station devices that associate using the particular SSID will be grouped into this VLAN.
Max connected clients - specify the maximum number of associated wireless clients on the AP radio.
Min client signal (dBm) - if enabled, the AP will drop the connection for clients that have signal level
below configured threshold.
Quality of service (WMM) – enable to support quality of service for prioritizing traffic.
Management over wireless – controls the wireless administrative access. For security reasons, it is
recommended disable wireless access and instead requires a physical network connection using an
Ethernet cable for administrative access to APC.
