RTS Threshold Wireless clients transmitting frames larger than this threshold must issue Request to
Send (RTS) and wait for the AP to respond with Clear to Send (CTS). This helps prevent
mid-air collisions for wireless clients that are not within wireless peer range and cannot
detect when other wireless clients are transmitting.
Short Preamble Shows if a short preamble for 802.11b/g radios is enabled or disabled for this AP. Network
performance may be higher when short preamble is enabled. In mixed radio
environments, some 802.11b wireless client stations may experience difficulty
associating with the AP using short preamble. To use only long preamble, disable short
preamble. Legacy client devices that use only long preamble generally can be updated to
support short preamble.
Max Associations Maximum number of wireless clients allowed to associate to the AP
Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Shows if Wireless Multimedia (WMM) is enabled or disabled for this AP. WMM provides
prioritization of specific traffic relative to other traffic in the network
WMM TSPEC Min Inactivity
Interval
Displays the minimum inactivity time-out threshold of WMM traffic for this AP.
DSCP mapping for WMM
voice AC
Displays the DSCP value used to map WMM video traffic.
DSCP mapping for WMM
video AC
Displays the DSCP value used to map WMM voice traffic.
DSCP mapping for WMM
best-effort AC
Displays the DSCP value used to map WMM best-effort traffic
DSCP mapping for WMM
background AC
Displays the DSCP value used to map WMM background traffic.
902il Compatibility Mode Shows if 902 il compatibility mode is enabled or disabled. (This parameter only needs to
be enabled for APs with associated clients using NTT DoCoMo 902iL phones.)
Hide SSID Shows if the feature to hide a SSID name in beacon frames is enabled or disabled.
Deny_Broadcast Probes When a client sends a broadcast probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs,
this option controls whether or not the system responds for this SSID. When enabled, no
response is sent and clients have to know the SSID in order to associate to the SSID.
When disabled, a probe response frame is sent for this SSID.
Local Probe Response Shows if local probe response is enabled or disabled on the AP. If this option is enabled,
the AP is responsible for sending 802.11 probe responses to wireless clients’ probe
requests. If this option is disabled, then the controller sends the 802.11 probe responses
Disable Probe Retry If disabled, the AP will not resend probes if it does not get a response.
Battery Boost Shows if the battery boost feature is enabled or disabled for the AP. If enabled, this
feature converts multicast traffic to unicast before delivery to the client, thus allowing
you to set a longer DTIM interval. The longer interval keeps associated wireless clients
from activating their radios for multicast indication and delivery, leaving them in power-
save mode longer and thus lengthening battery life
Drop Broadcast and
Multicast
If this feature is enabled on an AP, it drops all downstream broadcast or multicast traffic
to increase battery life.
WEP Key 1 Displays the static WEP key (1 of 4).
WEP Key 2 Dis
plays the static WEP key (2 of 4).
WEP Key 3 Displays the static WEP key (3 of 4).
WEP Key 4 Displays the static WEP key (4 of 4).
WEP Transmit Key Index Displays the key index that specifies which static WEP key is to be used.
WPA Hexkey Displays the WPA pre-shared key (PSK).
