BASIC WIRELESS SETTINGS

Figure 5.23 Basic Wireless Settings in WDS Repeater mode
Wireless mode: You have three options (Access Point, WDS Access Point or WDS
Repeater)
Root AP MAC Address: It is optional for repeater mode. When you input the MAC
address of previous WDS AP or WDS Repeater, you will only build-up the wireless
backhaul connection to this specific WDS AP or WDS Repeater. If not, EKI-6310GN
will search available WDS AP or WDS Repeater and build up the connection to the
WDS AP or WDS Repeater with best signal automatically.
Country Code: The availability of some specific channels and/or operational fre-
quency bands is country dependent.
Frequency (Channel): Channel varies much as the available band differs from coun-
try to country. Select a proper operating channel in the drop-down list according to
your situation. Site Survey: You can scan the available access point in site survey
action.
Network Mode: Four levels are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. The
last one can enhance data throughput, but it takes more bandwidth, thus it might
cause potential interference.
Extension Channel: This is to avoid conflict with other wireless network and boost
the ability of your device to catch all 802.11g transmissions. However, it may
decrease wireless network performance. Compared to CTS-Self; the transmission
amount of CTS-RTS is much lower.
Distance: To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distance, the EKI-
6310GN can automatically adjust proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of
the two nodes.
ACK/CTS Timeout: ACK/CTS timeout will be adjusted by distance automatically
BG Protection Mode: The time period for the IP address lease
