SMAC User Manual  Sify Technologies Limited, 2011 © Copyright Protected  Page 25  Transmit Power Select Transmit Power to increase or decrease Transmit Power. Higher transmit power will sometimes cause unable to connect to the network. On the other hand, the lower transmit power will cause client unable to connect to the device. RTS/CTS Threshold Specify Threshold package size for RTC/CTS. Using small number of the threshold will cause RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often to consuming more of the available bandwidth. In addition, if the heavy load traffic occurs, the wireless network can be recovered easily from interferences or collisions. Distance Specify distance rage between AP and Clients. Longer distance may lose high connection speed. Short GI Short GI is improved of 802.11n and 802.11a/g. It can increase 10% of the internet speed during the data transmission. For example, the 802.11a/g’s GI is 800us; the short GI will be 400us. Aggregation Aggregation is to merge the typical size of data’s header to one data. It is useful for the small size but larger amount packets. Wireless Traffic Shaping Place a Check to enable Wireless Traffic Shaping function. Incoming Traffic Limit Specify the wireless transmission speed for downloading in Kbits/seconds Outgoing Traffic Limit Specify the wireless transmission speed for uploading in kbits/seconds Accept / Cancel Press Accept to confirm the changes or Cancel to return previous settings.    1.
