DESCRIPTION
Select 802.11a only to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select 802.11b only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select 802.11g only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the device.
Select Auto (11g/11b) to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the device. The transmission rate of your device
might be reduced.
This is the MAC address of the device.
Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address format; six
hexadecimal character pairs (for example, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc).
Set the number of milliseconds that should pass between the sending out of
beacons.
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable Intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to the device to
communicate with each other.
Disable Intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations to communicate with the
wired network, not with each other.
Set the interval for wireless clients in sleep mode to wake up and check for
multicast or broadcast traffic.
The AP includes a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) in the beacon to
notify wireless clients in sleep mode that there is a multicast or broadcast packet
awaiting delivery. The interval is a multiple of the beacon interval. For example, if
the beacon interval is 100 milliseconds and the DTIM interval is 2, the AP includes
a DTIM with every second beacon (or every 200 milliseconds).
Turn on the wireless adapter to allow wireless communications between the device
and other IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices. Turn off
the wireless adapter to stop wireless communications between the device and
other IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices.
Use this field to select a maximum data rate for the wireless connection(s). Please
note that this is a total rate to be shared by all of the device's wireless connections.
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means
more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support
long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless
adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless
networks.
Select Dynamic to have the device automatically use short preamble when all
wireless clients support it, otherwise the device uses long preamble.
Note: The device and the wireless stations MUST use the same
preamble mode in order to communicate.
Enter a value between 0 and 2346. The default is 2346.
Enter a value between 256 and 2346. The default is 2346. It is the maximum data
fragment size that can be sent.
