The ComPoint in the AC Mode
mum value for the available transmit power depends on the
regulations of the country in question.
• RTS Threshold
This setting is only relevant if the ComPoint AC is to be operated in
ad-hoc mode. RTS means Request To Send and is the threshold value
from which on an RTS signal will be sent into the wireless cell. For
this value, the default setting 2347 should be used. You should use
slightly minor values only if an irregular data flow is observed. The
smaller the value, the more bandwidth will be lost for RTS signals. As
a result, the data rate of the wireless cell will decrease.
• Fragmentation Threshold
Number of bytes to be transmitted within a packet. The maximum
value is 2346 bytes/packet. In areas with much wireless traffic you
should define shorter packet lengths. With shorter packets, packet
loss is less probable than with large packets.
• Nitro Mode
By activating this function, you can achieve higher transmission
speeds for 802.11g via frame bursting. Several packets are transmitted
in sequence without waiting periods. Particularly effective in 11b/g
mixed operation.
• Radio On
Is active by default and means that the radio activity of the ComPoint
is on. To deactivate the radio activity of the ComPoint, uncheck the
box. It can still be addressed via the Ethernet interface.
• Enable Configuration Over WLAN
The configuration of the ComPoint via the WLAN interface is deacti-
vated by default. This setting offers additional protection against mis-
use, since communication, and thus configuration, are only possible
via cable.
