Using the Configuration Menu
CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions
CTS Mode-
among wireless devices on a wireless local area network
(LAN). 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
throughput.
CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment. If CTS
None-
is set to "None" in a mixed mode environment populated by
802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently.
CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is
Always-
clear before sending data.
Auto-
CTS wilCTS will monitor the wireless network and automati-
cally decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount
of traffic and collisions that occurs on the wireless network.

Using the Configuration Menu
Remote Management
Remote Management allows the DI-774 to be configured from the Internet by a web
browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management
interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web
pages to perform "Administrator" tasks. This feature enables you to perform
"Administrator" tasks from the remote (Internet) host.
IP Address: Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Router. It is
not recommended that you set the IP address to * (star), because this allows any
Internet IP address to access the Router, which could result in a loss of security for
your network. If you elect to enable Remote Management, make sure to enter the
IP Address of the remote computer allowed to configure the DI-774.
Port: For security purposes, select a separate port number used to access the
Router. (The following is an example only; you may use a different port number.)
Example:
http://x.x.x.x:8080
where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the Router
and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface.
