Webpage Auto Update
Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the web-based
interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to never be
automatically refreshed.
Bridge Entry Timeout
Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing network
infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout should be a longer period than the ARP (Address
Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network.
CAUTION!
An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss
of communication with some end users.
Bridging Functionality
Select whether you want bridge table filtering active (Enable) or not (Disable) on this BHM.
Selecting Disable allows you to use redundant BHs without causing network addressing problems.
Through a spanning tree protocol, this reduces the convergence time from 25 minutes to mere
seconds. However, you should disable bridge table filtering as only a deliberate part of your
overall network design. Otherwise, disabling it allows unwanted traffic across the wireless
interface.
Update Application Address
For capabilities in future software releases, you can enter the address of the server to access for
software updates on this BHM.
Dynamic Rate Adapt
See 2X Operation on Page 89.
Prioritize TCP ACK
To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to
Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of
congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be
particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used
for video surveillance, it is recommended to configure this parameter to “Disabled”. See AP-SM
