Proprietary & Confidential
Revision: V1.0
Default setting is set to Activated. If you do not have any wireless, both
802.11g and 802.11b, device in your network, select Deactived.
The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices is
called a channel. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
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
Router to synchronize the wireless network.
The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling
RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will
perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the
maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake
Enter a value between 1500 and 2347.
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a
value between 256 and 2346.
This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM).
The default setting is 802.11b+g (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have
both 11g and 11b devices in your network, then keep the default in mixed
mode. From the drop-down manual, you can select 802.11g if you have only
11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b.
