Slot Time : Enter the desired slot time for the BRIDGE. ACK Timeout : The time interval for waiting the “ ACKnowledgment frame”. If the ACK is not received within
that timeout period then the packet will be re-transmitted. Higher ACK Timeout will decrease the packet lost,
p
but the throughput will be growing worse.
CTS Timeout : Enter the desired CTS timeout for the BRIDGE.
Note : Slot Time and ACK/CTS Timeout settings for long distance links. It is important to change the value to find the optimal setting. A value too low will give very low throughput, A high value may slowdown the link.
RSSI Threshold : RSSI Threshold can be used to control the level of noise rece ived by the device. Beacon Interval : Enter a value between 10 and 5000 msec. The default value is 100 milliseconds. The
entered time means how often the beacon signal transmission between the base station and the wireless network.
DTIM Interval : Input the DTIM Interval that is generated within the periodic beacon at a specified frequency.
Higher DTIM will let the wireless client save energy more, but the throughput will be growing worse.
