This field is available when you set Channel Selection to DCS and select the Time Interval option. Schedule Start Time Week Days Advanced Settings Guard Interval Enter a number of minutes. This regulates how often the Zyxel Device surveys the other APs within its broadcast radius. If the channel on which it is currently broadcasting suddenly comes into use by another AP, the Zyxel Device will then dynamically select the next available clean channel or a channel with lower interference. Select this option to have the Zyxel Device survey the other APs within its broadcast radius at a specific time on selected days of the week. Specify the time of the day (in 24-hour format) to have the Zyxel Device use DCS to automatically scan and find a less-used channel. Select each day of the week to have the Zyxel Device use DCS to automatically scan and find a less-used channel. This field is available only when the channel width is 20/40MHz or 20/40/80MHz and the 802.11 Mode is either 11n or 11ac. Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either short or long. Enable A-MPDU Aggregation The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the interval increases data transfer rates but also increases interference. Increasing the interval reduces data transfer rates but also reduces interference. This field is not available when you set 802.11 Mode to 11a or 11b/g. Select this to enable A-MPDU aggregation.

Chapter 13 AP Profile

NWA/WAC/WAX Series User’s Guide

Time Interval

Select this option to have the Zyxel Device survey the other APs within its broadcast radius

at the end of the specified time interval.

DCS Time Interval

This field is available when you set

Channel Selection

DCS

and select the

Time Interval

option.

Enter a number of minutes. This regulates how often the Zyxel Device surveys the other APs

within its broadcast radius. If the channel on which it is currently broadcasting suddenly

comes into use by another AP, the Zyxel Device will then dynamically select the next

available clean channel or a channel with lower interference.

Schedule

Select this option to have the Zyxel Device survey the other APs within its broadcast radius

at a specific time on selected days of the week.

Start Time

Specify the time of the day (in 24-hour format) to have the Zyxel Device use DCS to

automatically scan and find a less-used channel.

Week Days

Select each day of the week to have the Zyxel Device use DCS to automatically scan and

find a less-used channel.

Advanced Settings

Guard Interval

This field is available only when the channel width is

20/40MHz

20/40/80MHz

and the

802.11 Mode

is either

11n

11ac

Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either

short

long

The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to

reduce interference. Reducing the interval increases data transfer rates but also increases

interference. Increasing the interval reduces data transfer rates but also reduces

interference.

Enable A-MPDU

Aggregation

This field is not available when you set

802.11 Mode

11a

11b/g

Select this to enable A-MPDU aggregation.

Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames along with their

802.11n headers and wraps them in a 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for

increasing bandwidth throughput in environments that are prone to high error rates.

Enable A-MSDU

Aggregation

This field is not available when you set

802.11 Mode

11a

11b/g

Select this to enable A-MSDU aggregation.

Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames without any of their

802.11n headers and wraps the header-less payload in a single 802.11n MAC header. This

method is useful for increasing bandwidth throughput. It is also more efficient than A-MPDU

except in environments that are prone to high error rates.

RTS/CTS Threshold

Use RTS/CTS to reduce data collisions on the wireless network if you have wireless clients

that are associated with the same AP but out of range of one another. When enabled, a

wireless client sends an RTS (Request To Send) and then waits for a CTS (Clear To Send)

before it transmits. This stops wireless clients from transmitting packets at the same time

(and causing data collisions).

A wireless client sends an RTS for all packets larger than the number (of bytes) that you

enter here. Set the RTS/CTS equal to or higher than the fragmentation threshold to turn RTS/

CTS off.

Beacon Interval

When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval.

This specifies the time period before the Zyxel Device sends the beacon again. The interval

tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before

waking up to handle the beacon. A high value helps save current consumption of the

access point.

DTIM

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast and

multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power Management

mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity with the network. This value

can be set from 1 to 255.
