3.4.3 Repeater Node Local service Settings
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings
In the Setup Wizard, select the WLAN mode, in this case, only the WLAN mode and SSID can be modified,
the channel will automatically readjusted as the upper node.
Set the SSID for the Hotspot service. This SSID can be different from upper node’s SSID.
Its Channel will be display as “Auto” it will be same as the AP node’s channel. It’s necessary to set the
Wireless mode as the same spectrum as AP’s node.
You can set encryption for the security between hotspot services with client device.

Beacon Interval: The WLA-5000AP V3 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.
RTS Threshold: RTS/CTS frames are used to gain control of the medium for transmission. 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.
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.
DTIM Interval: The WLA-5000AP V3 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, with a default value of 3.
