Configuring QoS options consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic. You can configure different minimum and maximum wait times for the transmission of packets in each queue based on the requirements of the media being sent.
CWmin: Determines the initial random backoff wait time ("window") for retry of a transmission. The value specified here in the Minimum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff wait time is determined. CWmax: Maximum Contention Window. The value specified here in the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value.
When the no acknowledgement (No ACK) policy is used, the recipient does not acknowledge received packets during wireless packet exchange. This policy is suitable in the environment where communication quality is fine and interference is weak. While the No ACK policy helps improve transmission efficiency, it can cause increased packet loss when communication quality deteriorates. This is because when this policy is used, a sender does not retransmit packets that have not been received by the recipient.
Maximum Clients: The default value is 32. You can enter the number of wireless clients that can associate to a particular SSID. When the number of client is set to 5, only 5 clients at most are allowed to connect to this VAP. 5-3-2 Repeater Security Settings Security Type: Select the desired security type from the drop-down list; the options are WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise and WEP 802.1X.

Chapter IX: Hardware Install The HPOW5/HPOW10D are designed with wall mounts and pole mounts for exterior installations. 9-1 Pole Mount Using the provided zip ties, secure the HPOW5/HPOW10D through the holes on the back of the device. Make sure they are tight and secure. Make sure the pole itself is secure. Note: you will need an Ethernet cable long enough to go from the device to the PoE injector. The PoE injector is not weather proofed. We do not recommend any cabling over 100 feet in length.
Screw it in using the provided screws. Once secure, simply snap the HPOW5/HPOW10D into the wall mount kit.
Note: you will need an Ethernet cable long enough to go from the device to the PoE injector. The PoE injector is not weather proofed. We do not recommend any cabling over 100 feet in length. Note2: Make sure you also use a long enough grounding cable (not included) to mount to your grounding point. We recommend 16-18 AWG grounding cable 9-3 Antenna Orientation Once you have mounted and connected HPOW5/HPOW10D, be sure to note the signal pattern of the antenna.
Note: Your wireless coverage may vary depending on the receiving power of your wireless adapter. For example, if your wireless device only has a range of 100 feet and the HPOW5 has a range of 500 feet, your maximum range for your wireless device will be 100 feet. The weakest antenna determines the maximum range for that device.
