3e–525C–2 Wireless Access Point
Tx Pwr Mode and Fixed Pwr Level: The Tx Power Mode defaults to
Auto, giving the largest range of radio transmission available under nor-
mal conditions. As an option, the AP's broadcast range can be limited by
setting the Tx Power Mode to Fixed and choosing from 1-5 for Fixed Pwr
Level (1 being the shortest distance.) Finally, if you want to prevent any
radio frequency transmission, set Tx Pwr Mode to Off.
There are a number of advanced options included on this page as
described in the following chart:
Beacon interval
RTS Threshold
DTIM
Basic Rates
Preamble
Broadcast SSID

20-1000
The time interval in milliseconds in which the
802.11 beacon is transmitted by the AP.

handshake boundary. When a packet size is
greater than the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS
handshaking is performed.

The number of beacon intervals that broadcast
and multicast traffic is buffered for a client in
power save mode.
