LAN. For a sender and receiver own right of the channel the shorter slot time help manage shorter wait time to re-transmit from collision because of hidden wireless clients or other causes.
Page 28 DTIM Interval : The DTIM interval is in the range of 1~255. The default is 1. DTIM is defined as Delivery Traffic Indication Message. It is used to notify the wireless stations, which support power saving mode, when to wake up to receive multicast frame. DTIM is necessary and critical in wireless environment as a mechanism to fulfill power-saving synchronization.

Page 30 Voice High Configuring QoS options consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic. You can configure different minimum and maximum wait times for the transmission of packets in each queue based on the requirements of the media being sent. Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delay for Voice, Video, multimedia, and mission critical applications, and rely on best-effort parameters for traditional IP data.
Page 31 When the no acknowledgment (No ACK) policy is used, the recipient does not acknowledge received packets during wireless packet exchange. This policy is suitable in the environment where communication quality is fine and interference is weak. While the No ACK policy helps improve transmission efficiency, it can cause increased packet loss when communication quality deteriorates.
Page 32 Txop : Transmission Opportunity is an interval of time when a WME AP has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium (WM). This value specifies (in milliseconds) the Transmission Opportunity (Txop) for AP; that is, the interval of time when the WMM AP has the right to initiate transmissions on the wireless network.
Page 33: Create Virtual Ap (Vap)
3.2.3 Create Virtual AP (VAP) The APO1200/APO1215 support broadcasting multiple SSIDs, allowing the creation of Virtual Access Points, partitioning a single physical access point into Tag(ID) and network settings. Figure 3-2 shows multiple SSIDs with different security type and VLAN settings.
Page 34: Virtual Ap Setup
Maximum Clients : The default value is 32. You can enter the number of wireless clients that can associate to a particular SSID. When the number of client is set to 5, only 5 clients at most are allowed to connect to this VAP.
Page 35 This system supports tagged Virtual LAN(VLAN). A valid number of 1 to 4094 can be entered after it’s enabled. If your network utilize VLANs you could tie a VLAN Tag to a specific SSID, and packets from/to wireless clients belonging to that SSID will be tagged with that VLAN Tag. This enables security of wireless applications by applying VLAN Tag.

The administrator could create WDS Links to expand wireless network. When WDS is enabled, access point functions as a wireless bridge and is able to communicate with other access points via WDS links. A WDS link is bidirectional and both side must support WDS. Access points know each other by MAC Address. In other words, each access point needs to include MAC address of its peer.

Page 228 Voice High Configuring QoS options consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic. You can configure different minimum and maximum wait times for the transmission of packets in each queue based on the requirements of the media being sent. Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delay for Voice, Video, multimedia, and mission critical applications, and rely on best-effort parameters for traditional IP data.
Page 229 When the no acknowledgment (No ACK) policy is used, the recipient does not acknowledge received packets during wireless packet exchange. This policy is suitable in the environment where communication quality is fine and interference is weak. While the No ACK policy helps improve transmission efficiency, it can cause increased packet loss when communication quality deteriorates.
