for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients
detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default
value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
802.11d Enable
Enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in additional
regulatory domains. This supplement to the 802.11 specifications defines the physical layer
requirements (channelization, hopping patterns, new values for current MIB attributes, and
other requirements to extend the operation of 802.11 WLANs to new regulatory domains
(countries). The current 802.11 standard defines operation in only a few regulatory domains
(countries). This supplement adds the requirements and definitions necessary to allow 802.11
WLAN equipment to operate in markets not served by the current standard. Enable this option
if you are operating in one of these "additional regulatory domains".
Short GI
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase
error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections.
Select the option that works best for your installation.
Extra Wireless Protection
Extra protection for neighboring 11b wireless networks. Turn this option off to reduce the
adverse effect of legacy wireless networks on 802.11ng performance.
WDS Enable
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to
wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is incompatible with
WPA -- both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP
must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must
have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same channel
number.
WDS AP MAC Address
Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC address of this AP
to create the WDS link back to this AP. Enter a MAC address for each of the other APs that
you want to connect with WDS.
