Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual Setting RTS Threshold (0-2347) Description Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is 2347. If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period. If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the access point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data. Fragmentation Length (256-2346) Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted. The fragmentation length must be an even number. The default setting is 2346. Beacon Interval (100-1000) Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon transmission, which allows the access point to synchronize the WiFi network. The default setting is 100. AMPDU Select the Enable radio button to allow the aggregation of several MAC frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. Enabling the aggregated MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU) could lead to better network performance. By default, the Enable radio button is selected. RIFS Transmission Select the Enable radio button to allow transmission of successive frames at different transmit powers. Enabling reduced interframe space (RIFS) could lead to better network performance. By default, the Disable radio button is selected. DTIM Interval (1-255) Enter the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) interval, also referred to as the data beacon rate, which indicates the beacon delivery traffic indication message period in multiples of beacon intervals. This value must be between 1 and 255. The default setting is 3. 802.11d Select this check box to enable support for additional regulatory domains that are not in the current standard; support includes the addition of a country information This setting does not apply element to beacons, probe requests, and probe responses. This check box is selected to the 802.11a/a-na-ac by default. modes. Max. Wireless Clients Frame Burst Fixed Multicast Rate Broadcast/Multicast Rate Enter the maximum number of WiFi clients that can simultaneously connect to the access point at one time. The default setting is 200 clients. Select the Enable radio button to allow frame burst. Frame burst can boost the downstream throughput. By default, the Disable radio button is selected. Select the multicast traffic transmission rate you want the AP to support. The default value is Auto. For the 2.4 GHz radio, the Auto value is 1 Mbps. For the 5 GHz radio, the Auto value is 6 Mbps. Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted across the network. By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting check box is selected and you can configure the rate limit and rate limit burst. Rate Limit For multicast and broadcast rate limiting, the default and maximum rate limit setting is 50 packets per second. The supported range is from 1 to 50 pps.

If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the access point uses
the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism,
and the data frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period.
If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the access point uses the CSMA
with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting
station sends an RTS packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station
to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data.
