Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
802.11a APs sold in Europe use a technique called Dynamic Frequency 
Selection (DFS) to automatically select an operating channel. During 
boot-up, the AP scans the available frequency and selects a channel that 
is free of interference. If the AP subsequently detects interference on its 
channel, it automatically reboots and selects another channel that is free 
of interference.
RTS/CTS Medium 
Reservation
This parameter affects message flow control 
and should not be changed under normal 
circumstances. Range is 0 to 2347. When set 
to a value between 0 and 2347, the 
Access Point uses the RTS/CTS mechanism 
for packets that are the specified size or 
greater. When set to 2347 (the default 
setting), RTS/CTS is disabled. See 
 for more information.
Closed System
Check this box to allow only clients 
configured with the Access Point’s specific 
Network Name to associate with the 
Access Point. When enabled, a client 
configured with the Network Name “ANY” 
cannot connect to the AP. This option is 
disabled by default.
