Valid values for AIFS are 1 through 255. Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff wait time is determined. Valid values for the "cwmin" are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower than the value for cwMax. Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value. Valid values for the "cwmax" are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for cwMin. Specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network.

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WNDAP330 Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration

v1.0, May 2008
Enabling Wireless Bridging and Repeating
The ProSafe 802.11n Dual Band Wireless Access Point WNDAP330 lets you build large bridged
wireless networks. Select the desired wireless access point mode for your environment:
•
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge
. In this mode, the WNDAP330 can communicate with
another Bridge mode Wireless Station and with Wireless clients if you select the
Enable
Wireless Client Association
check box.
When you click the
Edit
button, you must enter the Profile Name and the MAC address
(physical address) of the other Bridge mode Wireless Station in the fields provided. WEP,
WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK are supported. WPA2-PSK can (and should) be used to protect this
communication.
•
Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge
. Select this only if this WNDAP330 is the “Master”
for a group of Bridge-mode Wireless Stations. This mode supports default association with
Wireless clients.
Data 2 (Best Effort)
Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional
IP data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (Background)
Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires
maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue
(FTP data, for example).
AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame
Space)
Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for
AIFS are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random
backoff wait time is determined. Valid values for the “cwmin” are 1, 3, 7,
15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower
than the value for cwMax.
cwMax (Maximum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff
value. Valid values for the “cwmax” are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255,
511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for
cwMin.
Max. Burst Length
Specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length allowed for
packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of
multiple frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for
maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.
