manual abstract
The AP uses only the legal frequency channels allowed in that regulatory domain. Wireless Broadband Router User Manual • Wireless Bridge AP Mode: Select wireless operating mode of the Wireless Broadband Router. The Wireless Broadband Router can work as Access Point or Wireless Bridge. • Access Point. When operating as an access point, the router provides connection between the wired and the 802.11 b/g wireless devices. This is the default operating mode. Figure 4-12 Access Point Mode Wireless Broadband Router User Manual • Wireless Bridge. Provides wireless connectivity between two or more wired segment. When operating as Wireless Bridge, the device does not accept association request from wireless stations. All bridging devices must use the same channel in order to communicate with each other. Figure 4-13 Wireless Bridge Mode Bridge Restrict: Select whether to enable or disable this function. When set to enabled, all devices operating in Wireless Bridge mode must have others’ Wireless Interface MAC addresses in their respective Remote Bridges table in order to establish the connection with each other (more secure). When set to disabled, only one device is required to have the Remote Bridges table filled with the Wireless Interface MAC address of other Wireless Broadband Router in order to establish the connection. Remote Bridges: Enter the Wireless Interface’ s MAC address of the remote Wireless Broadband Router in this field. The remote device should also enter this Access Point’ s MAC address in its Remote Bridges table if the Bridge Restrict is enabled. Enter up to four MAC address of the remote bridge. To find the MAC address of this device, see Wireless Interface, in the beginning of this section. Wireless Broadband Router User Manual • Access Control MAC Address Access Control: This AP has the capability to control the wireless client access based on the MAC address of the wireless client. The users have the flexibility to customize their own control policy based on these options: • Allow: If selected, only the wireless client whose MAC address is in the Allow List is allowed to access this AP. • Deny: If selected, only the wireless client whose MAC address is in the Allow List is NOT allowed to access this AP. Others clients are granted access. • Disable: No access control. All the clients are allowed to access this AP. When entering MAC address in the list, up to 16 MAC entries are allowed. • Advanced Configuration It’ s not recommended to modify the Advanced parameters unless specific requirement is needed. The parameters are described as below: Radio: Choose whether to enable or disable the RF (Radio Frequency) of the AP. Band: Displays the operating frequency of the AP. Channel: Varies according to the specified Country. Rate: The default setting, Auto, allows the AP to automatically use the fastest possible data rate. Selecting a specific rate forces the AP to transmit at a particular speed. Basic Rate Set: The Default option uses 1 or 2 Mbps for 802.11b and 6, 12 or 24Mbps for 802.11g as the basic rate of your wireless network. The All option uses 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54Mbps. The wireless clients must support the basic rate to successfully associate with the AP. Fragment Threshold: It determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN, packets Wireless Broadband Router User Manual exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other hand, packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet size beyond which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. DTIM: Specifies the Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) period. This value determines at which interval the AP will send its broadcast traffic. The default value is 3. Beacon Interval: Defines the periodic interval at which the Access Point sends out a beacon. 54gTM Mode: This item allows you to choose from these communication options: • 54g Auto: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can communicate with this AP. The data rate will be automatically adjusted. • 54g Performance: Only 802.11g wirless clients can communicate with the AP. • 54g LRS: LRS stands for Limited Rate Support. This option is intended to support legacy clients (802.11b). Select this option if wireless clients are experiencing difficulties to associate with the AP. This option supports both 802.11g and 802.11b clients. • 802.11b Only: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can communicate with this AP. The data rate will be automatically adjusted to the one supported by the 802.11b standard. 54g Protection: Select Off or Auto. The default value is set to Off. When set to Auto, a protection mechanism will ensure that 802.11b wireless devices will connect to the Access Point when man...
