•
• Band Mode: Select an appropriate wireless band; bands available are 801.11b,
802.11b/g, 802.11b/g/n or 802.11n only.
• Channel: Select the desired channel from the drop-down list to have the access
point operate on. Click Auto Scan to scan for the best available channel to use based
on the environment.
• Tx Power: You can adjust the output power of the system to get the appropriate
coverage for your wireless network. Specify digit numbers between 1 to 100 (the
unit is %) for your environment. If you are not sure which setting to choose, then
keep the default setting, 100%.
• RF (ON/OFF) Schedule: Select an assigned schedule of when to have the access
point turn on. Select Always Run to have the access point always on.
When Band Mode select in 802.11a only mode, the HT(High Throughput) settings
should be hidden immediately.
• TxStream/Rx Stream: Select the amount of transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) streams.

By default, it's 2.
• Channel Bandwidth: The "20/40" MHz option is usually best. The other option is
available for special circumstances.
• Extensions Channel: Select which section of channels to use for extension channels.
• MCS: This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest
possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the
speed if necessary. (Refer to Appendix C. MCS Data Rate)
Wireless Advanced Setup
To achieve optimal wireless performance, it is necessary to tweak advance setting per
requirements properly, not necessary higher the better or lower.
The administrator can change the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold settings
for the system. Please click on Wireless -> Advanced Setup and follow the below setting.

Short Slot: By default, it's "Enable" for reducing the slot time from the standard 20
microseconds to the 9 microsecond short slot time. Slot time is the amount of time a
device waits after a collision before retransmitting a packet. Reducing the slot time
decreases the overall back-off, which increases throughput. Back-off, which is a
multiple of the slot time, is the random length of time a station waits before
sending a packet on the 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. When collision sources can be
removed sooner and other senders attempting to send are listening the channel
