WK-2x User Manual

Transmit Power: The power depends on the distance of the devices in your wireless network. From the
drop‐down list, select the desired power. You can use this feature to limit the coverage area of the
wireless network.
Maximum: This setting will broadcast at the maximum allowed mW for the channel selected if
o
Obey Regulatory Power is checked. If Obey Regulatory Power is not checked, then the maximum
30 dBm (1000 mW) will be broadcast.
Automatic: This setting will adjust the power of the access point based on the distance to the
o
furthest client device. The access point will lower its power if the furthest client is 10 feet away
and will raise the power if the furthest client is 100 feet away.
o
1 dBm (1 mW) – 30 dBm (1000 mW):These are static power settings. The access point will
broadcast at the selected power level.

Obey Regulatory Power:This feature will enable government mandated power levels per channel based
on the access point's Country Code.

RTS/CTS Threshold: Enter the packet size threshold for RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) to occur.
The primary reason for implementing this function is to minimize the collision between hidden stations,
which occurs when access points and wireless users are spread out in a location and there is a high
occurrence of retransmissions on the wireless LAN. Default setting is 2347.

Beacon Interval: Adjusting Beacon Interval will allow clients to sleep longer. Clients have to wake up for
every beacon, so this setting tells your client how many milliseconds it can sleep for (e.g., if BP = 100 your
stations are allowed to sleep for up to 100 ms).
