BT-302USB User's Manual 2 Copyright & Disclaimer Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. [. . . ] If the ACK setting is too low then the ACK window will have expired and the returning packet will be dropped, greatly lowering throughput. By having the ability to adjust the ACK setting we can effectively optimize the throughput over long distance links. Setting the correct ACK timeout value needs to consider 3 factors: distance, AP response time, and interference. Bandwidth Management Bandwidth Management controls the transmission speed of a port, user, IP address, and application. Router can use bandwidth control to limit the Internet connection speed of individual IP or Application. It can also guarantee the speed of certain special application or privileged IP address - a crucial feature of QoS (Quality of Service) function. Bootloader Bootloader is the under layering program that will start at the power-up before the device loads firmware. When a firmware crashed, you might be able to recover your device from bootloader. 33 BT-302USB User's Manual 4. Wireless Network Glossary Bridge A product that connects 2 different networks that uses the same protocol. Wireless bridges are commonly used to link network across remote buildings. WDS Bridge can be used in Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint topology. Bridge Infrastructure works with AP mode to form a star topology. Cable and Connector Loss During wireless design and deployment, it is important to factor in the cable and connector loss. Cable and connector loss will reduce the output power and receiver sensitivity of the radio at connector end. Cable loss should be subtracted from the total output power during distance calculation. For example, if the cable and connector loss is 3dBm and the output power is 20dBm; the output power at the cable end is only 17dBm. Client Client means a network device or utility that receives service from host or server. A client device means end user device such as wireless cards or wireless CPE. CPE Devices CPE stands for Customer Premises Equipment. A CPE is a device installed on the end user's side to receive network services. For example, on an ADSL network, the ADSL modem/router on the subscriber's home is the CPE device. Wireless CPE means a complete Wireless (usually an AP with built-in Antenna) that receives wireless broadband access from the WISP. A signal sent by a device to indicate that it is ready to receive data. BT-302USB User's Manual 34 4. An algorithm that allows the use of dynamic IP address for hosting Internet Server. A router with DDNS capability has a built-in DDNS client that updates the IP address information to DDNS service provider whenever there is a change. Therefore, users can build website or other Internet servers even if they don't have fixed IP connection. DHCP Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol. When DHCP is used, whenever a computer logs onto the network, it automatically gets an IP address assigned to it by DHCP server. [. . . ] Wireless Network Glossary TCP A layer-4 protocol used along with the IP to send data between computers over the Internet. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the packets that a message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet. Turbo A Turbo A is an Atheros proprietary turbo mode to increase speed over standard 802. 11a mode. This protocol may be combined with Super-A model to increase the performance even more. The used of channel binding might be prohibited in EU countries. TX Output Power Transmit Output Power. [. . . ]
