4.2.7.3 Fragmentation

When the size of a unicast frame exceeds the fragmentation threshold, it will be fragmented

before the transmission. It should have a value of 256-2346 bytes, with a default of 2346.

If you experience a high packet error rate, you should slightly decrease the Fragmentation

Threshold.

4.2.7.4 DTIM Interval

The WLA-9000AP buffers packets for stations that operate in the power-saving mode. The

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) informs such power-conserving stations that

there are packets waiting to be received by them. The DTIM interval specifies how often the

beacon frame should contain DTIMs. It should have a value between 1 to 255. Default

value is 1.

4.2.7.5 User Limitation

This limitation applies to number of wireless clients the device can associate. If you need

serving wireless connection to large number of users in one location. You can deploy

many APs and limit the number of wireless clients, so any additional wireless connection

attempt will be rejected (therefore, redirect to other AP). The range of user limitation is

from 1 to 100.

4.2.7.6 Age Out Timer

Set the age out timer for the wireless client. If there is no traffic from client for more than

the timer, the wireless client will be dropped. The default is 300 sec. This function is

available only for the Access Point and AP router mode.

4.2.7.7 Transmit Power

You can adjust the transmit output power of the WLA-9000AP’s radio from 10dBm to

24dBm. The higher the output power, the more distance WLA-9000AP can deliver.

However, it is advised that you use just enough output power so it will not create excessive

interference for the environment. Also, using too much power at close distance can create

serious performance drop due to signal distortion.

At less than 200meter distance, the best output power is about 14dBm. At 2km distance;
