    [HT Physical Mode] Operation Mode: Mixed mode operation – In this mode, both the MIMO-OFDM system and the legacy systems shall co-exist. The MIMO system should have the capability to generate legacy packets for the legacy system and high throughout packets for MIMO-OFDM systems. So, the burst structure should be decodable to legacy systems and should provide better performance to MIMO-systems.
  • Page 31 [Advanced Wireless] Beacon Interval: Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon. Range 20-999, default is 100. Data Beacon Rate (DTIM): The DTIM period indicates how many beacon frames can transmit before another DTIM is transmitted.

  • Page 34 There are 3 modes of WDS: (1) Lazy – Automatic detection of WDS peers: when a LAN user searches for a network, AP router will attempt to connect to WDS devices in its vicinity. (2) Bridge – AP router will function as a wireless bridge, merely forwarding traffic between access points, and will not respond to wireless requests.
  • Page 35 The access point in repeater mode connects to clients as an access point and connects to the upstream restricted access point as a client itself. Using an access point in Repeater mode is not suggested unless absolutely necessary because cells around each access point in the scenario must overlap by minimum of 50%.This configuration drastically reduces the range at which clients can connect to the repeater access point.
