Stations
Allowed
Specify the maximum number (from 1 to 64) of the wireless stations that
may connect to the P-870HN-51D.
Output Power Set the output power of the P-870HN-51D. If there is a high density of
APs in an area, decrease the output power to reduce interference with
other APs. Select one of the following 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% or
100%.
802.11
Protection
Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks
(networks with both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).
Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS
handshake. This helps improve IEEE 802.11g performance.
Select Off to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your P-
870HN-51D might be reduced in a mixed-mode network.
This field displays Off and is not configurable when you set 802.11
Mode to 802.11b Only.
Preamble Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long
or Short. The default setting is Long. See the appendix for more
information.
This field is not configurable and the P-870HN-51D uses Short when you
set 802.11 Mode to 802.11g Only or 802.11n Only.
