PLANET WAP-7500 - Manual (Page 31)

Peer-to-Peer (TDMA) : The WAP-7500 connects to another wireless device within the same
networking program using TDMA protocol. TDMA divides each cellular channel into multiple time
slots to increase the amount of data that can be carried, hence increase the throughput. Under
this mode, only PTP is available and is suggested to use when the distance between the two
WAP-7500s is greater than 20KM. To make the P2P TDMA work, you need to set the same
Group ID on both 2 peers.
Site Survey
Available in Base Station and CPE mode, the WAP-7500 is able to perform site survey, through
which, information on the available access points will be detected. Open “Basic Settings” in
“Wireless”, by clicking the “Site Survey” button beside “Wireless Mode” option, the wireless site
survey window will pop up with a list of available wireless networks around. Select the AP you
would like to connect and click “Selected” to establish connection.
Base Station ID (SSID)
For Base Station mode, it requires SSID for CPU clients to associate with. This wireless network
name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network. Keep it identical on all
those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and cannot exceed 32 characters.
Wireless Mode
The WAP-7500 can only communicate with wireless devices of 802.11a.
Channel/Frequency
Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper
operating channel in the drop-down list according to your situation. To avoid adjacent channel
interference, it is highly suggested to set separate of the 2 RF links as far as possible.
Transmit Rate
Usually “Best” is preferred. Under this rate, the WAP-7500 will automatically select the highest
available rate to transmit. In some cases, however, like where there is no great demand for speed,
you can have a relatively-low transmit rate for compromise of a long distance.
Output Power
Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the wider the signal can
cover, but the power consumption will be greater accordingly then. Usually “100%” is preferred.
Band Width
Four levels are available: 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz and 40MHz. Among them, 40MHz can enhance
