Configure Wireless General Setting

The administrator can change the data transmission, channel and output power settings
for the system. Please click on Wireless -> General Setup and follow the below setting.
Band Mode : Select an appropriate wireless band; bands available are 801.11a or

802.11a/n mixed mode.
Transmit Rate Control : Select the desired rate from the drop-down list; the options

are auto or ranging from 6 to 54 Mbps for 802.11a
Tx Power : You can adjust the output power of the system to get the appropriate

coverage for your wireless network. Specify digit number between 1 to 100 (the
unit is %) for your environment. If you are not sure of which setting to choose, then
keep the default setting, 100%.

When Band Mode select in 802.11a only mode, the HT(High Throughput) Physical
Mode and 11n Configuration settings should be hidden immediately.
Operating Mode : By default, it's Mixed Mode.

Mixed Mode : In this mode packets are transmitted with a preamble

compatible with the legacy 802.11a/g, the rest of the packet has a new format.
In this mode the receiver shall be able to decode both the Mixed Mode
packets and legacy packets.
Green Field : In this mode high throughput packets are transmitted without a

legacy compatible part.
Channel Bandwidth : The "Auto" MHz option is usually best. The other option is

available for special circumstances.
Guard Interval : Using "Auto" option 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.
MCS : This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest

possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the
speed if necessary. (Refer to Appendix C. MCS Data Rate)
MPDU Enable : Check Enable button to activate this function, and Disable to

deactivate.
A-MPDU : A-MPDU (Aggregated Mac Protocol Data Unit) allows the transmissions

of multiple Ethernet frames to a single location as burst of up to 64kbytes This is
performed on the hardware itself. Select "Manual" to set "MPDU Density"
MPDU Density : Minimum separation of MPDUs in an A-MPDU.

0 1 2 3
No Restriction ¼ µs ½ µs 1 µs 2 µs 4 µs 8 µs 16 µs
A-MSDU : Aggregated Mac Service Data Unit, A-MSDU. Select Enable to allows

aggregation for multiple MSDUs in one MPDU. Default is disabled.
