 Radio Off – When enabled, this allows the user to turn off the wireless completely.
 Fast Handoff – Atop’s proprietary protocol to speed up roaming between AW5500s in
addition to Fast Roaming. Enable to allow AW5500 to share its neighboring AW5500
information to SW550xC to further reduce its roaming time.
 Fast Roaming – Enable to allow SW550xC to scan for available Access Points in the
background to speed up roaming when necessary.
 Roaming Threshold – Determine when SW550xC should try to connect to another
Access Point when the wireless signal falls below the selected range.
 Tx Power – is the SW550xC’s Transmission Power; the transmission power can be
reduced to prevent wireless interference to other wireless networks.
 STP – The Spanning Tree Protocol is only available in the AP Client mode. Enable this
option if STP is enabled in your network to prevent network loops by setting up the
Forward Delay time.
