MAC Address
The MAC address identifies the unit to the access points in the network. The MAC address is
located on the label on the radio card in the unit. This option uses the MAC address that is on the
card. The MAC address can be changed using this option and the address is changed in the card
when the changes have been saved.

Medium Density
Small Density
Default: Small Density
RTS/CTS Medium Reservation
Enables RTS/CTS communications. Sets the frame length threshold that determines when the
station should start using RTS/CTS.
Valid: Off, On
Default: Off
Note: The use of Medium Reservation is recommended in network environments where the
density of the WaveLAN stations and WavePOINT-II access points is very low, and where
there is poor network performance due to excessive frame collisions at the WavePOINT-
II access points.
Interference Robustness
Used when troubleshooting slow performance of the wireless network that could be related to in-
band interference.
Valid: On, Off
Default: Off
Card Power Management
