Fragmentation Threshold :

The size at which packets will be fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes. This is the option for the Fragmentation Threshold activation.

Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference.

RTS Threshold :

Minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request to Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. This is the option for the RTS Threshold activation.

A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the access point, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the access point and not each other. Enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.

RSSI % to dBm Conversion table

You can modify the RSSI Values shown in dBm to suit your requirements using this option.

Typically the Base Band Processor which is heart of Radio gives out the values in the range of 0-40 which indicates the RSSI values.

These RSSI values from Base Band ( 0-40 ) are converted on the scale of 0-100 % to show the % Values.

The Internal formula is used to convert the RSSI in % to RSSI in dBm, these values are typically shown in the Client Info and Link Status tab.

If you want your specific values to be shown in there, please store them in the table as shown and set the option as "User Defined" and Click "Save Table" button. Please make sure that you are keying in all the values.

Transmission and Reception Antenna

For airBridge, airBridgeOutdoor and airBridgeTOTAL this option is grayed out as these devices use a single antenna for Transmission and Reception.

For newly Manufactured airBridgeTOTAL which supports External and Internal Antennas this option is enabled and you can select the different antennas for Transmission and Reception.

The Convention used for Antennas is

Antenna A - Internal

Antenna B - External

DHCP TimeOut :

By enabling the DHCPTimeout airBridge will search for DHCP Server for 1 min after boot-up (if DHCP is enabled in IP Settings) and if it doesn't get the lease it will fall back to previously obtained IP Address settings. If you want airBridge to search for DHCP Server till it obtains the lease Disable this option. (This option is supported from F/W Ver 0.01.09 onwards)
