Security - Planet WMRT-414 User Manual

Parameters Description
Fragment Threshold "Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of packet during the
fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result
in bad performance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will not use
the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to
synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate The Data Rate is the rate of data transmission. The WMRT-414 will use the
highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless
communication. "Short Preamble" is suitable for high traffic wireless network.
"Long Preamble" can provide more reliable communication.
Broadcast ESSID If you enable "Broadcast ESSID", every wireless station located within the
coverage of this access point can discover this WMRT-414 easily. If you are
building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. In
private network, disabling "Broadcast ESSID" can provide better security.
CTS Protection It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a
little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
TX Power Users can adjust the WMRT-414 output power to 100%, 90%, 75% 50% 25%
and 10%. In default, WMRT-414 will work with 100% output power.
Turbo Mode Enable/Disable Turbo mode. When the connect client has support Turbo mode
also, they can work with better performance.
WMM Enable/Disable WMM function.
