• Multicast Rate: Sets the rate at which Multicast messages are sent. This value is related to the Distance Between
APs parameter (described previously). The table below displays the possible Multicast Rates based on the
Distance between APs setting. By default, this parameter is set to 2 Mbits/sec. See Multicast Rate for more
information.
• DTIM Period: The Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) is used with clients that have power management
enabled. DTIM should be left at 1, the default value, if any clients have power management enabled. This
parameter supports a range between 1 and 65535.
• RTS/CTS Medium Reservation: This parameter affects message flow control and should not be changed under
normal circumstances. Range is 0 to 2347. When set to a value between 0 and 2347, the Access Point uses the
RTS/CTS mechanism for packets that are the specified size or greater. When set to 2347 (the default setting),
RTS/CTS is disabled. See RTS/CTS Medium Reservation for more information.
• Interference Robustness: Enable this option if other electrical devices in the 2.4 GHz frequency band (such as a
microwave oven or a cordless phone) may be interfering with the wireless signal. The AP-600b will automatically
fragment large packets into multiple smaller packets when interference is detected to increase the likelihood that
the messages will be received in the presence of interference. The receiving radio reassembles the original packet
once all fragments have been received. This option is disabled by default.
• Closed System: Check this box to allow only clients configured with the Access Point’s specific Network Name to
associate with the Access Point. When enabled, a client configured with the Network Name “ANY” cannot connect
to the AP-600b. This option is disabled by default.
Distance between APs Multicast Rate
