4.21 What is Wireless Distribution System (WDS)?
The Wireless Distribution System feature allows WLAN AP to talk directly to other APs
via wireless channel, like the wireless bridge or repeater service.
4.22 What is Universal Plug and Play (uPNP)?
UPnP is an open networking architecture that consists of services, devices, and control
points. The ultimate goal is to allow data communication among all UPnP devices
regardless of media, operating system, programming language, and wired/wireless
connection.
4.23 What is Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Size?
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) indicates the network stack of any packet is larger
than this value will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation,
the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will be accepted. The actual
MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller one of MTU and the peer’s MRU.
The default is value 1400.
4.24 What is Clone MAC Address?
Clone MAC address is designed for your special application that request the clients to
register to a server machine with one identified MAC address.
Since that all the clients will communicate outside world through the WNAP 3G Mobile
Router, so have the cloned MAC address set on the WNAP 3G Mobile Router will solve
the issue.
4.25 What is DDNS?
DDNS is the abbreviation of Dynamic Domain Name Server. It is designed for user own
the DNS server with dynamic WAN IP address.
4.26 What is NTP Client?
NTP client is designed for fetching the current timestamp from internet via Network
Time protocol. User can specify time zone, NTP server IP address.
4.27 What is VPN?
VPN is the abbreviation of Virtual Private Network. It is designed for creating point-to
point private link via shared or public network.
