•
Transmission Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set
depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a
range of transmission speeds, or you can select AUTO to have the AP
automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-
Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the AP and a wireless client. The default
setting is AUTO.
•
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency
interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is
a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network. The
default value is 100.
•
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications
are recommended.
If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The AP sends Request to
Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station
responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to
begin transmission.
•
Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a
packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. It should remain
at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate,
you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the
Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network
performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
•
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast
messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
Interval value.
Access Point Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages.
