RTS Threshold
RTS (Request to Send). The RTS/CTS(clear to send) packet will be send before a frame if the packet
frame is larger than this value. Lower this value can improve the performance if there are many
clients in your network. You can try 1500, 1000 or 500 when there are many clients in your AP’s
network.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
A set of protocols for managing complex networks. The SNMP network contains 3 key elements:
managed devices, agents, and network-management systems (NMSs). Managed devices are
network devices that content SNMP agents. SNMP agents are programs that reside SNMP capable
device's firmware to provide SNMP configuration service. The NMS typically is a PC based software
such as HP Openview that can view and manage SNMP network device remotely.
SSH
Developed by SSH Communications Security Ltd., Secure Shell is a program to log into another
computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one
machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure
channels. It is a replacement for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rdist.
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer. It is a popular encryption scheme used by many online retail and banking
sites to protect the financial integrity of transactions. When an SSL session begins, the server sends
its public key to the browser. The browser then sends a randomly generated secret key back to the
server in order to have a secret key exchange for that session. SSL VPN is also known as Web VPN.
The HTTPS and SSH management interface use SSL for data encryption.
Subnet Mask
An address code mask that determines the size of the network. An IP subnet are determined by
performing a BIT-wise AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask. By changing the
subnet mask, you can change the scope and size of a network.
