DESCRIPTION
(Request To Send/Clear To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling
RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the
RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU
(MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this
attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 800 and
2346.
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value
between 800 and 2346.
The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must
have the same SSID. Select an SSID Profile from the drop-down list box.
Configure SSID profiles in the SSID screen (see
information on configuring SSID).
Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL
Device's SSID or security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the
ZyXEL Device's new settings.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Select this check box to enable the "breathing" LED, also known as the ZyAIR LED.
The blue ZyAIR LED is on when the ZyXEL Device is receiving power and blinks (or
breathes) when data is being transmitted to and from its wireless stations.
Clear the check box to turn this LED off even when the ZyXEL Device is on and
data is being transmitted and received.
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable Intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to the ZyXEL Device to
communicate with each other.
Disable Intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations to communicate with the
wired network, not with each other.
Note: This check box is automatically cleared (intra-BSS traffic is
blocked) if you configure an SSID to use layer-2 isolation. Re-
select this check box if you want to allow intra-BSS traffic.
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -
compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any
two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the ZyXEL
Device.
Set the output power of the ZyXEL Device in this field. If there is a high density of
APs in an area, decrease the output power of the ZyXEL Device to reduce
interference with other APs. Select from 100% (Full Power), 50%, 25% and 12.5%.
See Appendix A on page 261
power.
Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short
and Dynamic.
See the section on preamble for more information.
