Q
QoS
Quality of Service. Required to support wireless multimedia applications and advanced
traffic management. QoS enables Wi-Fi access points to prioritize traffic and optimize
the way shared network resources are allocated among different applications.
R
Range
The distance covered by a wireless network radio device. Depending on the
environment and the type of antenna used, Wi-Fi signals can have a range of up to a
mile.
Remote Access Point
One of a number of secondary access points in a wireless network that uses WDS to
extend its range. Remote access points (sometimes called relay access points) connect
to a master access point.
Remote device
Devices connected remote radios
Repeater
A Repeater is a device used to extend the range of a Wi-Fi signal. Placed at the edge of
signal reception, a repeater simply receives and re-transmits the signal.
Repeater, Radio Mode
A RLX2 radio in Repeater mode can only connect to other ProSoft radios, but any
number of Ethernet network devices can be attached to it. See also Client, Radio Mode.
RS-232
Recommended Standard 232; the standard for serial binary signals between DTE and
DCE devices.
RTU (Remote Terminal Unit)
Modbus transmission mode where each eight-bit byte in a message contains two four-
bit hexadecimal characters. There are two transmission modes (ASCII or RTU). The main
advantage of the RTU mode is that its greater character density allows better data
