DESCRIPTION
Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyXEL Device.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the ZyXEL Device.
Select 802.11b+g to allow both IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. The transmission rate of your ZyXEL
Device might be reduced.
Select 802.11a to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the ZyXEL Device.
Select this to improve data throughput on the WLAN by enabling fast frame and
packet bursting.
Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region.
To manually set the ZyXEL Device to use a channel, select a channel from the drop-
down list box. Click MAINTENANCE and then the Channel Usage tab to open the
Channel Usage screen to make sure the channel is not already used by another
AP or independent peer-to-peer wireless network.
To have the ZyXEL Device automatically select a channel, click Scan instead.
Click this button to have the ZyXEL Device automatically scan for and select the
channel with the least interference.
(Request To Send) The 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 256 and 2346.
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.
Set the output power of the ZyXEL Device in this field. If there is a high density of
APs in an area, decrease the output power of the ZyXEL Device to reduce
interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%(Full Power), 50%,
25%, 12.5% or Minimum. See the product specifications for more information on
your ZyXEL Device's output power.
