characters and case-sensitive. All SSID would broadcast its own beacon.
The default SSID is “AP_2G”.
5) Suppress SSID
When you enable “Suppress SSID” function, SSID information will be removed
from AP broadcast frame. Thus, only those stations aware of the SSID can
associate with AP. The default setting is disabled.
6) Security
By default, the security is disabled. Please refer to Chapter 6
4X for security
setting to configure the security features such as WEP, WPA-TKIP, WPA-AES,
WPA2-TKIP and WPA2-AES.
7) RTS Threshold
In order to prevent the transmission collision in a hidden nodes environment,
AP may send a RTS (Request To Send) before transmitting the data frame and
expect to receive a CTS (Clear To Send) from the client. the threshold for
those frame size greater than the threshold needs to activate RTS/CTS
mechanism. The valid range is between 256 and 2347. Set low value to this
threshold may avoid collision, but the RTS/CTS frame would consume
bandwidth. The default RTS threshold value is “2347”.
8) Tx Power
Available selection of Transmit Power are Full, Half (-3dB), Quarter (-6dB),
and Eighth (-9dB). Select the appropriate Transmit Power according to the
distance and environmental factor between Bridges. The default setting is
“Full”.
9) WMM
Multimedia applications in a WiFi network require Quality of Service (QoS)
functionality. The system default enabled WMM QoS feature, and it will
prioritize traffic and optimizes the way shared network resources among
different applications. It works well for data traffic from applications such as
web browser, file transfer, or email, but it is inadequate for multimedia
applications. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video streaming, and
interactive gaming are highly sensitive to latency increases and throughput
