AirLive AIRMAX2 User's Manual Table of Contents Table of Contents 1. [. . . ] Any unicast (data or control) frames larger than specified RTS threshold must be transmitted following the RTS/CTS handshake exchange mechanism. The RTS threshold should have a value between 256-2347 bytes, with a default of 2347. It is recommended that this value does not deviate from the default too much. Beacon Interval: The device broadcasts beacon frames regularly to announce its existence. The beacon Interval specifies how often beacon frames are transmitted in time unit of milliseconds. The default value is 100, and a valid value should be between 1 and 65, 535. Inactivity Time: The wireless client will be dropped from the network when they are inactive for this amount of time. AckTimeOut: When a packet is sent out from one wireless station to the other, it will waits for an Acknowledgement frame from the remote station. The station will only wait for a certain amount of time, this time is called the ACK timeout. In most conditions, please put ACKtimeout value at zero(default value). The AP will calculate the ACKtimeout automatically when the value is zero. However, you can also enter the ACKtimeout manually. Preamble Type: A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to synchronize the transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a "noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type should be set to Long Preamble. The Short Preamble is intended for applications where minimum overhead and maximum performance is desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, the performance will be decreased. IAPP: IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is designed for the enforcement of unique association throughout a ESS (Extended Service Set) and a secure exchange of station's security context between current access point (AP) and new AP during handoff period. BG Protection: The 802. 11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure mixed 802. 11b and 802. 11g operation. If there is no such kind of mechanism exists, the two kinds of standards may mutually interfere and decrease network's performance. . AirLive AIRMAX2 User's Manual 42 4.

You can select different security policy to provide association authentication and/or data encryption. AirMax2 features various security policies including WEP, 802. 1x, WPA, WPA Personal, WPA2, WPA2 Personal , WPA Mixed. WEP WEP Encryption is the oldest and most available encryption method. However, it is also the least secure. 43 AirLive AIRMAX2 User's Manual 4. Wireless Settings Select one of the WEP key for wireless network: There are total of 4 possible keys for WEP encryption. All wireless devices on the same network have to use the same settings. [. . . ] The output power limit for 5GHz 802. 11a is 30dBm at the antenna end. . UDP User Datagram Protocol. A layer-4 network protocol for transmitting data that does not require acknowledgement from the recipient of the data. Upgrade To replace existing software or firmware with a newer version. Upload To send a file to the Internet or network device. URL Uniform Resource Locator. The address of a file located on the Internet. VPN Virtual Private Network. A type of technology designed to increase the security of information transferred over the Internet. VPN creates a private encrypted tunnel from the end user's computer, through the local wireless network, through the Internet, all the way to the corporate network. WAN Wide Area Network. [. . . ]
