DTIM
This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert
the clients that multicast and broadcast packets buffered at
the AP will be transmitted immediately after the transmission
of this beacon frame. You can change the value from 1 to
255. The AP will check the buffered data according to this
value. For example, selecting “1” means to check the
buffered data at every beacon.
Roaming Threshold
Defines the minimum client signal level accepted by the AP
for the client to connect.
Short GI
Guard intervals are used to ensure that distinct
transmissions do not interfere with one another. Only effect
under Mixed Mode.
Fragment Size
A large data frame is fragmented into several fragments
each of size equal to fragment threshold. By tuning the
fragment threshold value, we can get varying fragment
sizes.
Aggregation
A part of the 802.11n standard that allows sending multiple
frames per single access to the medium by combining
frames together into one larger frame. It creates the larger
frame by combining smaller frames with
the same physical source, destination end points, and traffic
class (QoS) into one large frame with a common MAC
header
Aggregated Frames
Number
Determines the number of frames combined in the new
larger frame.
Maximum Aggregation
Size
Determines the size (in bytes) of the larger frame.
Tx/Rx Chain Mask
Displays the number of independent spatial data streams
the device is transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX)
simultaneously within one spectral channel of bandwidth.
Multiple chains increase data transfer performance
significantly.
4.2.1.11 Access Control
Operation Mode -> Setup -> Access Control
The AirMax5X allows you to define a list of MAC addresses that are allowed or denied to
access the wireless network. This function is available only for Access Point and AP Router
modes.
