Currently supported PPPoE authorization types are CHAP, PAP, MSCHAP and MPPE. Watchdog – If enabled then OSBRiDGE 5XLi/5GXi device will send 3 ICMP Echo Requests to the configured IP address, each in 3 minutes interval. If there is no single ICMP Echo Reply to any of these requests, then the device will reboot itself.

Distance to the Access Point – Configure distance between OSBRiDGE 5XLi/5GXi device and the Access Point it is connecting to. Tx Power - By default, the OSBRiDGE 5XLi/5GXi transmits data at the maximum output power for the regulatory domain selected and frequency used. With Transmit Power Control (TPC), you can adjust the output power of the unit to a lower level in order to reduce interference from neighboring devices.

20. Resetting device to default settings. In order to reset OSBRiDGE device to factory default settings you need to use OSReset software available for download at http://www.osbridge.com/software.php. OSReset will locate any compatible OSBRiDGE device regardless of its IP address located on the same physical subnetwork with the computer it is running on.
