4 Let Your Network to Be a Wireless
Network

4.1 System Wireless General Settings

Configure System‟s Wireless General Settings, go to: System >> Zone Configuration.
Wireless General Settings:
Band: There are 4 modes to select, 802.11b (2.4G, 1~11Mbps), 802.11g (2.4G, 54Mbps),

802.11b+g, and 802.11g+n.
Short Preamble: The length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for

communication between the Access Point and roaming wireless adapters. Select Enable for
Short Preamble or Disable for Long Preamble.
Short Guard Interval (802.11g+n only): The guard interval is the space between

symbols (characters) being transmitted to eliminate inter-symbol interference. With
802.11n, short guard interval is half of what it is used to be to increase throughput. Select
Enable to use Short Guard Interval or Disable to use normal Guard Interval.
Channel Width (802.11g+n only): For 802.11n, double channel bandwidth to 40 MHz is

supported to enhance throughput.
Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the drop-down menu to correspond with your

network settings, for example, Channel 1-11 is available in North American and Channel
1-13 in Europe, or choose the default Auto.
Max Transmit Rate: The default is Auto. Available range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of

data transmission should be set depending on the speed of the wireless network. Select from
a range of transmission speed or keep the default setting, Auto, to make the Access Point
automatically use the fastest rate possible.
Transmit Power: Select from the range, or keep the default setting or to make the Access

Point use different transmit power as you wish.
DTIM Period: Input the DTIM Interval that is generated within the periodic beacon at a

specified frequency. Higher DTIM will let the wireless client save energy more, but the
throughput will be growing worse.
ACK Timeout: The time interval for waiting the "ACKnowledgement frame". If the ACK is

not received within that timeout period then the packet will be re-transmitted. Higher ACK
Timeout will decrease the packet lost, but the throughput will be growing worse.
