of data transmission, enhanced security and wireless roaming.
Beacon Interval: The entered amount of time indicates how often the beacon signal
will be sent from the VAP.
RTS Threshold: Enter a value between 1 and 2346. RTS (Request to Send) Threshold
determines the packet size at which the system issues a request to send (RTS) before
sending the frame to prevent the hidden node problem. The RTS mechanism will be
activated if the data size exceeds the value provided. A lower RTS Threshold setting can
be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with EAP200 or in areas
where the clients are far apart and can detect only EAP200 but not each other.
Fragment Threshold: Enter a value between 256 and 2346. The default is 2346. A
packet size larger than this threshold will be fragmented (sent with several pieces
instead of one chunk) before transmission. A smaller value results in smaller frames but
allows a larger number of frames in transmission. A lower Fragment Threshold setting
can be useful in areas where communication is poor or disturbed by a serious amount
of radio interference.
Broadcast SSID: Enable to broadcast VAP2’s SSID in the air, Disable to hide VAP’s
SSID so that it cannot be scanned.
Station Isolation: By enabling this function, all stations wirelessly associated to this
zone are isolated from each other and can only communicate with the system.
WMM: The default is Disable. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS)
feature that prioritizes wireless data packets based on four access categories: voice,
video, best effort, and background. Applications without WMM and applications that do
not require QoS are assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority
than that of voice and video. Therefore, WMM decides which data streams are more
important and assigns them a higher traffic priority. This option works with
WMM-capable clients only.
