System) function.

z Access Point

z WDS mode

z Bridge

z Repeater

The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device can act

as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism

between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC. Following are the types of operation

mode.

Bridge

The Ethernet-LAN port will bridge to the radio including AP, WDS, AP+WDS, Repeater

and AP Client.

The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.

10

AP (Access Point) / Bridge

The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and

provides a connection to a wired LAN.

AP Client mode

This mode enables the establishment of connection with the other AP using

infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly

connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless

adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect one of the wired Ethernet port

to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP

address from your ISP.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

This mode combines up to 5 WDS or AP+WDS devices to a single wireless network; the

device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is

selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only

allows the WDS connection.

AP + WDS

This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, and it not only allows WDS connections but

also the wireless clients can survey and associate to the device.

will try to reserve the throughput for 11g clients from 11b

clients connecting to the device as AP mode.

Basic Data Rates

Choose the ACK rate for this device in B/G mode.

Beacon Interval

Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to

17

synchronize the wireless network. The beacon interval is

the time interval between beacons sending by this unit in

AP or AP+WDS mode. The default and recommended

beacon interval is 100 milliseconds.

Data Beacon Rate
(DTIM)

This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert
the clients that multicast and broadcast packets buffered at
the AP will be transmitted immediately after the
transmission of this beacon frame. You can change the
value from 1 to 255. The AP will check the buffered data
according to this value. For example, selecting “1” means
to check the buffered data at every beacon.

Fragment Threshold

The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of
as one block). Use a low setting in areas where
communication is poor or where there is a great deal of
radio interference. This function will help you to improve the
network performance.

RTS Threshold

The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the
radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the
packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas
where many client devices are associating with the device,
or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect
only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting
ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.

TX Power

The default TX power is 100%. In case of shortening the
distance and the coverage of the wireless network, input a
smaller value to reduce the radio transmission power. For
example, input 80 to apply 80% Tx power.

Short Preamble

Default: Disable. It is a performance parameter for 802.11
b/g mode and not supported by some of very early stage of

802.11b station cards. If there is no such kind of stations
associated to this AP, you can enable this function.

Short Slot

For a WLAN network with 802.11g/n devices, the time slot
can be set short to increase the throughput. Disable this
option for the backward compatibility with 802.11b device.
