It is useful to maintain the network and make sure all APs are using the same system time by setting the same NTP server.   Please select Configuration -> System to configure System Info Setting and NTP setting.   Figure 6-6 NTP Setting  System Name:Set system name of the device, the system name can be up to 255 characters long. System NE ID:Set system NE ID, the system NE ID can be up to 64 characters long. System Location:Set system location, the system location can be up to 255 characters long. Enable NTP:  Enable or disable NTP function, by default it is selected. IP Address Type:IPv4 or IPv6. (Please note that IPv6 is available to be select after enable IPv6 in Network setting web page, refer to section 6.3).

The Local IP Address and Local IP Address Mask information must be provided to specify the IP address used to communicate to the wireless client locally (i.e. IP address for 2.4GHz radio interface). The AP-100 would use another IP address to communicate to the outside network (i.e. IP address for Ethernet interface). If a wireless client sends a packet to the outside network, the packet would send to the AP-100 with its local IP address in the local network. Then, the AP-100 will pass this packet to the outside network (Ethernet) using its remote IP address.

AMPDU Limit:Maximum number frames in 11n frame aggregation. AMSDU:IEEE802.11n aggregation of MAC service data unit. Max Tx/Rx Streams:Maximum number of transmit streams/receive streams in 11n MIMO. Beacon Interval:Default setting is 100 ms (equivalent to 10 beacons per second). The amount of time between AP-100 BTS beacon transmissions for each supported BSS, with each BSS using the same beacon interval. The beacon interval can be configured between 20 and 1000 ms. DTIM:Default setting is 1. DTIM Interval, always a multiple of the beacon period, determines how often the beacon contains a traffic indicator map (TIM). The TIM alerts clients in sleep state to stay awake long enough to receive their data frames. The value range is from 1 to 255. Fragmentation Threshold:Default setting is 2346 bytes. The fragmentation threshold, specified in bytes, determines whether data packets will be fragmented and at what size. Frames that are smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value will not be fragmented. Frames that are larger than the fragmentation threshold will be fragmented into smaller packets and transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at once.    The setting must be within the range of 256 to 2346 bytes. It is recommended to use the default value or only minor reductions of this default value. Protection Mode:Default setting is "None". If set to "CTS-Only" then when protection is turned on and prior to the transmission of an 802.11g frame, the AP sends out a CTS frame (also known as CTS-to-Self) to set the NAV in all the clients so that they will not transmit during the time period of the subsequent data packet from the AP. If set to "RTS-CTS" then the AP sends a RTS frame, waits for the clients CTS frame and then sends the data packet. Setting "RTS-CTS" will allow more robust operation, but at the expense of additional overheads. RTS/CTS Threshold:If a frame is smaller than the RTS/CTS threshold, it will be sent by the AP without modification. If a frame is larger than the RTS/CTS threshold, then two frames will be sent by the AP. The first frame is an RTS (request to send) frame. After the RTS frame is sent, the AP listens for the corresponding CTS from the target client. Upon reception of the CTS, the AP then sends the data frame. There are trade-offs when considering what value you should set for the RTS/CTS threshold. Smaller values will cause RTS to be sent more often, increasing overheads. However, the more often RTS packets are sent, the sooner the system can recover from collisions. It is recommended to use the default value or only minor reductions of this default value. The value range is from 0 to 2347.  Distance:Target area distance.     IGMP Snooping:AP is a Layer 2 device when it is configured as Switch mode. However, IGMP Snooping implementation on AP is a little bit different than that of standard Layer 2 Switch.
Handlink AP-100                                             Commercially Confidential 63Each Virtual AP (VAP) port is similar to a Layer 2 switch port. With IGMP Snooping enabled in the AP, clients associated to a VAP will only receive multicast packets if there is at least one client joined the multicast group in that VAP. Unlike ordinary IGMP Snooping implementation, where Layer 2 switch converts multicast to unicast and delivers them to devices registered with the multicast group, AP should simply send out the multicast packets from the VAP which has at least one client joined the multicast group. This is done because the wireless media is a broadcast media. It does not need to be sent multiple times when there are more than one registered clients.  When IGMP Snooping is turned on, multicast packets should be dropped at the VAP exit if there is no client from the VAP who has joined the corresponding multicast group.  The IGMP snooping forwarding table (port and multicast MAC address mapping table) should support aging mechanism to age out the entry which has no multicast traffic for a period of time (120 seconds in AP-100). The default setting of the IGMP Snooping is “Disabled”. Multicast Traffic:Default setting is "Enabled ". If set to "Enabled", the system allows multicast traffic in all VAPs. If set to "Disabled", all multicast traffic in all VAPs will be dropped. Enable Optimization Mode:Set the Optimization mode to optimize the performance depending on different deployment environment. Optimization Mode:There are three modes, default, optimized for throughput and optimized for capacity. Data Rate Setting Data Rate:Default setting is “best”. The transmission data rate that appears on the drop-down AP-100 supports “Multicast Traffic Data Rate Setting” to transmit all multicast traffic of the 2.4G interface at the configured multicast data rate. The multicast data rate must be set to any of the basic data rates. Default setting is 1 Mbps.   AirFi Setting AirFi Mode:Enable AirFi mode to get enhanced throughput experience.
