Planet 802.11g Wireless Access Point / Bridge WAP-4000 User Manual page 24

Advance setting: when you press the "Advance Setting button", the dialog box below will
appear. You can set more details parameters in this screen.
SSID Broadcast: This allows the AP to broadcast its SSID. Other wireless client with site
survey function can easily know this SSID and use this SSID to connect your access point.
To secure your wireless network from unauthorized users, please disable this function.
Beacon Interval: Specify the Beacon Interval value. Enter a value between 20 and 1000.
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network.
RTS Threshold: Use this field to specify a value for the RTS Threshold. Enter a value
between 256 and 2346. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Should you
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold: This field is used to specify the fragmentation threshold. Enter a
value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly
increase your Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its default setting of
2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval: Specify the Beacon Rate. Enter a value between 1 and 255 that specifies the
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the
next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
Transmission Rates: Select the desired transmission rates by clicking on the drop down list.
The default setting is "Auto".
11G Only Mode: Enabling 11g only mode maximizes the performance of WAP-4000 in a
pure 802.11g WLAN, but 802.11b clients are not allowed to connect to it. Disabling this option
allows both 802.11g and 802.11b clients to connect to WAP-4000.
