EWS Wireless Management Switch User Guide
Country: Select a Country/Region to conform to local regulations. Different regions have different rules that
govern which channels can be used for wireless communications.
Wireless Mode: Select from the drop-down menu to set the wireless mode for the Access Point.
Channel HT Mode: Use the drop-down menu to select the channel width for 2.4GHz. A wider channel
improves the performance, but some legacy devices operate only on either 20MHz or 40 MHz. This option
is only available for 802.11n modes.
Extension Channel: Use the drop-down menu to set the Extension Channel as Upper or Lower channel.
An extension channel is a secondary channel used to bond with the primary channel to increase this range
to 40MHz allowing for greater bandwidth. This option is only available when Wireless Mode is 802.11n and
Channel HT Mode is 20/40MHz or 40MHz.
Channel: Select Auto or manually assign a channel for the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio.
Transmit Power: Allows you to manually set the transmit power on 2.4GHz or 5GHz radios. Optimizing
channel assignments reduces channel interference and channel utilization for the network, thereby
improving overall network performance and increasing the network's client capacity. The list of available
channels that can be assigned to radios is determined based on which country the Access Points are
deployed in.
Client Limits: Limit the total number of clients that can associate with this Access Point.
Data Rate: Use the drop-down list to set the available transmit data rates permitted for wireless clients. The
data rate affects the throughput of the access point. The lower the data rate, the lower the throughput, but
the longer transmission distance.
RTS/CTS Threshold: Enter a Request to Send (RTS) Threshold value between 1~2346. Use RTS/CTS to
reduce data collisions on the wireless network if you have wireless clients that are associated with the
same Access Point. Changing the RTS threshold can help control traffic flow through the Access Point. If
you specify a lower threshold value, RTS packets will be sent more frequently. This will consume more
bandwidth and reduce the throughput of the Access Point. Sending out more RTS packets can help the
network recover from interference or collisions which might occur on a busy network or on a network
experiencing electromagnetic interference.
Aggregation: Select whether to enable or disable Aggregation for the Access Point. This function merges
data packets into one packet, reducing the number of packets. This also increases the packet sizes, so
please keep this in mind. Aggregation is useful for increasing bandwidth throughput in environments that
are prone to high error rates. This mode is only available for 802.11n modes. Fill in the frame rate limit you
wish to use. The range is from 1~32. Next, fill in the max byte limit. The range is from 2304~65535.
