RTS Threshold: When the RTS threshold is activated, all the stations and APs follow the Request to Send (RTS) protocol. When the station is to send packets, it will send a RTS to AP to inform the AP that it will send data. After receiving the RTS, the AP notices other stations in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data. At the same time, the AP inform the requesting station to send data. The value range is from 1 to 2347 bytes. The default value is 2347, which means that RTS is disabled. Fragmentation Threshold: Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of the packet is larger than the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the excessive packets. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes. 5.1.4 Load Balance By restricting the maximum number of clients accessing the EAPs, Load Balance helps to achieve rational use of network resources. Load Balance: Maximum Associated Clients: Figure 5-9 Load Balance Disable by default. Click ON to enable the function. After enabling it, you can set a number for maximum associated clients to control the wireless access. Enter the number of clients to be allowed for connection to the EAP. The number ranges from 1 to 99. 5.2 Portal Portal authentication enhances the network security by providing authentication service to the clients that just need temporary access to the wireless network. Such clients have to log into a web page to establish verification, after which they will access the network as guests. What's more, you can customize the authentication login page and specify a URL which the newly authenticated clients will be redirected to. Please refer to Portal Configuration or Free Authentication Policy according to your need. 15
