RSSI
Receiver Sensitivity Index. RSSI is a value to show the Receiver Sensitivity of the remote
wireless device. In general, remote APs with stronger signal will display higher RSSI values.
For RSSI value, the smaller the absolute value is, the stronger the signal. For example,
“-50db” has stronger signal than “-80dB”. For outdoor connection, signal stronger than
-60dB is considered as a good connection.
RTS
Request To Send. A packet sent when a computer has data to transmit. The computer will
wait for a CTS (Clear To Send) message before sending data.
RTS Threshold
RTS (Request to Send). The RTS/CTS(clear to send) packet will be send before a frame if
the packet frame is larger than this value. Lower this value can improve the performance if
there are many clients in your network. You can try 1500, 1000 or 500 when there are many
clients in your AP’s network.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. A set of protocols for managing complex networks.
The SNMP network contains 3 key elements: managed devices, agents, and
network-management systems (NMSs). Managed devices are network devices that content
SNMP agents. SNMP agents are programs that reside SNMP capable device's firmware to
provide SNMP configuration service. The NMS typically is a PC based software such as HP
Openview that can view and manage SNMP network device remotely.
