3.5.1 T
RANSLATION
The translation mode determines how the unit handles 802.3 packets. The
translation mode is either enabled (default) or disabled.
3.5.2 P
ERFORMANCE
The Performance menu determines the unit performance:
• Dwell Time (Access Point Only) — The time spent on a radio channel before
hopping to the next channel in the sequence.
• RTS Threshold – Minimum packet size to require an RTS. For packets with a
size below RTS Threshold value, an RTS is not sent and the packet is
transmitted directly to the WLAN.
• Max Multicast Rate — Multicast and Broadcast transmissions are not
acknowledged, so the chance of error increases. By default, the unit will always
transmit broadcasts, multicasts, and control frames at the minimum possible
rate, 1 Mbps.
