Section 3 - Configuration
This window allows you to change the behavior of the 802.11g wireless radio from the standard settings. Please be aware that any changes
to the factory default settings may adversely affect the behavior of your network.
Transmit
Power:
Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacon
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize
interval:
a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default
setting and is recommended.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification
should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
Fragmentation:
determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets
exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before
transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default setting.
DTIM Interval:
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Preamble Type: Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the
length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a
common technique for detecting data transmission errors)
for communication between the wireless router and the
roaming wireless network adapters. Note: High network
traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN).
CTS Mode:
CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will
add overhead and may lower wireless through put. Always: CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is clear
before sending data. Auto: CTS will monitor the wireless network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based
on the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on the wireless network.
