:
• To balance the transmit Power and receive sensitivity at both the ends (END-A and END-B), WDS
Optimization Mode should be enabled for a WDS link.
• If the user wants to have AP cell size functionality applied, irrespective of the VAP type, then the TPC value
can be increased, using the TPCBackoff parameter.

WDS Optimization Mode
Specifies the optimization mode for a WDS link (See
user to balance the transmit power at both the ends, END-A and END-B. If WDS optimization mode is enabled,
the WDS Cell Size Functionality is applied. If WDS optimization mode is disabled, the AP Cell Size
Functionality is applied. To configure, select Enable or Disable, from the drop down menu.
: When WDS Optimization Mode is enabled, WDS Cell Size Functionality is applied even on the VAP enabled
in AP mode.
In the scenario, where
a. WDS Optimization mode is enabled,
b. Current Bandwidth is set to 40 Mhz and
c. The extension channel is busy
then,
the AP device operates with a channel bandwidth of 40 Mhz only (Dynamic 20/40 channel
bandwidth mode is not applicable here). The same is applicable on the other VAPs enabled in AP
mode.
•
DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Map): Specifies the number of beacon frames that can be transmitted before
another DTIM is transmitted. An increase in the DTIM period count allows clients to sleep longer; however, it
delays the delivery of multicast and unicast packets. To set the DTIM interval, enter a value ranging from 1 to 255
in the DTIM box.
: Long DTIM intervals will allow the mobile stations to sleep for longer hours thus maximizing battery life.
Whereas, with short DTIM intervals, frequent frame delivery takes place thus reducing the power save
efficiency of the battery.
•
Rouge Scan Status: Specifies the status of the Rouge Scan feature on the AP device. Rouge Scan allows the
user to scan and monitor all the wireless devices (AP/STA/WDS/ADHOC) and Rouge AP devices (802.11 Access
Points connected to a wireless network without any prior authorization) in its vicinity and provides statistics of the
interference caused by those devices.
