Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is

recommended.

Beacon Interval

Specify the frequency interval to broadcast packets. Enter a value between 20 and 1000.

Distance in Meters

To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distance, WAP-7500 can auto adjust

proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of the two nodes. Default distance is 10km.

This will be only useful in CSMA mode.

TDM Coordination Time Slice

Specify the time slice of TDM Coordination. It allows a certain amount of time (in ms) that data will

transmit to each other before it moves to the next user. This is a repetitive cycle.

Note:

We strongly recommended you leave most advanced settings at their defaults except

Distance in Meters; any modification on them may negatively impact the performance of

your wireless network.

4.2 Peer-to-Peer Links

Open “Peer-to-Peer Setup” in “Wireless”. Peer-to-Peer Links allow establishing PTP or PTMP

connectivity with as most eight remote wireless devices, this feature only available under Peer-to-Peer

(CSMA)

mode. Select “RF1”, and input the MAC addresses of radio cards from remote unit

respectively.

Furthermore, you may restrict the uplink speed of each peer for optimal bandwidth control.
