TRENDnet User's Guide Wireless LAN Network The network manager can configure related wireless settings, General Settings, Advanced Settings, Virtual AP(VAP) Setting, Security Settings and MAC Filter Settings. Wireless General Setup The administrator can change the data transmission, channel and output power settings for the system. Please click on Wireless -> General Setup and follow the below setting.  MAC Address : The MAC address of the Wireless interface is displayed here.  Band Mode : Select an appropriate wireless band; bands available are 801.11a or 802.11a/n mixed mode.  AP Isolation : Select Enable, all clients will be isolated from each VAP, that means different VAP's clients can not reach to each other.  Transmit Rate Control : Select the desired rate from the drop-down list; the options are auto or ranging from 6 to 54Mbps only for 802.11a mode.  Tx Power : You can adjust the output power of the system to get the appropriate coverage for your wireless network. Specify digit numbers between 1 to 100 (the © Copyright 2012TRENDnet. All Rights Reserved. TEW-676APBO unit is %) for your environment. If you are not sure which setting to choose, then keep the default setting, 100%. When Band Mode select in 802.11a only mode, the HT(High Throughput) settings should be hidden immediately.  HT TxStream/RxStream : By default, it's 2.  Operating Mode : By default, it's Mixed Mode.  Mixed Mode : In this mode packets are transmitted with a preamble compatible with the legacy 802.11a/g, the rest of the packet has a new format. In this mode the receiver shall be able to decode both the Mixed Mode packets and legacy packets.  Green Field : In this mode high throughput packets are transmitted without a legacy compatible part.  Channel Bandwidth : The "20/40" MHz option is usually best. The other option is available for special circumstances.  Guard Interval : Using "Auto" option can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radiofrequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation.  MCS : This parameter represents transmission rate. By default (Auto) the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary. (Refer to Appendix C. MCS Data Rate)  Reverse Direction Grant(RDG) : Disable or enable reserve direction grant. Default is enabled.  A-MSDU : Aggregated Mac Service Data Unit. Select Enable to allow aggregation for multiple MSDUs in one MPDU Default is disabled.  Auto Block ACK : Disable or enable auto block ACK. Default is enabled.  Decline BA Request : Disable or enable decline BA request. Default is disabled. Change these settings as described here and click Save button to save your changes. Click Reboot button to activate your changes. The items in this page are for AP's RF general settings and will be applied to all VAPs and WDS Links. Wireless Advanced Setup To achieve optimal wireless performance, it is necessary to tweak advance setting per requirements properly, not necessary higher the better or lower. The administrator can change the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold settings for the system. Please click on Wireless -> Advanced Setup and follow the below setting. 16
