Cisco DPH650 User Manual page 21

Network Name: Enter the wireless network's SSID (Service Set Identifier)in the
field. The DPH650 supports multiple SSIDs. You may enter up to 3 SSIDs in the
fields provided.
Broadcast Network Name(SSID): You may enable/disable the broadcasting of
your SSID. If you choose to disable the SSID, you will not see the DPH650 when
you use site survey to search available wireless networks.
BSSID: Identifies the Basic Service Set Identifier.
Frequency: Selects the channel for your wireless network.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS): You may extend your wireless networks
by connecting several networks.
Wireless Advanced
The following Wireless Advanced settings provide additional settings for your
wireless functionality.
Beacon Interval: Displays the time interval that the DPH650 uses to announce
itself to remote devices. Leave the Beacon Interval at 100ms for compliance with
most client cards. The Beacon Interval specifies how often packets are sent by
the DPH650 to synchronize a wireless network and its clients.
DTIM Interval: Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) displays the time
interval between broadcast/multicast transmissions. The DTIM interval is a
countdown informing the wireless clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the DPH650 has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
Interval value. The DPH650 clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. Leave the DTIM Interval at 3ms for
compliance with most clients cards.
Fragmentation Threshold: Sets the fragmentation threshold. The threshold
should be set equivalent to the maximum Ethernet frame size allowable on the
link including overhead (1536 bytes). Lesser settings can damage data
throughput as large frames could be fragmented or collisions could occur. The
factory default is 2346.
RTS Threshold: Determines at what packet size beyond which the ready to
send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism is invoked. The factory default is
2347.
