10.3.2 WLAN Advanced Functions
To configure WLAN Advance Parameters go to BASIC/WLAN CONFIGURATIION/ADVANCE
PARAMETERS, enter values for the required parameters and then press the Y key
when prompted by the following message Do You Wish To Submit These Values
[Y/N]. The WLAN Advanced Functions menu includes the parameters listed below:
Beacon Interval
RTS Threshold
Fragmentation
DTIM Interval
Tx Rates
Preamble Type
Auth. Type
Antenna Selection
Default =100. Specify the Beacon Interval value. Enter a
value between 1 and 1000. The value represents the time
in nano-seconds that Beacon packets are sent by an Access
Point to synchronize a wireless network.
This value should normally remain at its default setting of
2,432. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only
minor modifications are recommended. The value must
match with remote clients. The value must be between 0-
3000.
This field is used to specify the fragmentation threshold.
Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a
high packet error rate, try to slightly increase your
Fragmentation Threshold. The value should normally
remain at its default setting of 2,346. This value must
match client adapters. The value must be between 256 –
2346 and must be an even number.
Enter a value between 1 and 65535, This number
represents the time between sending delivery traffic
identification messages (DTIMs) used for power saving and
multicast/broadcast delivery. A DTIM is a countdown
informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated
clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages.
The transfer rate of the router should be equal to or greater
than the clients, the options are: 1(1M), 3(2M), 7(5M),
15(11M), 31(22M)
Select 0 (Long Preamble) or 1 (Short Preamble) Should
match client adapters. Short enables faster throughput, but
it can only be used when all network elements comply with
the IEEE 802.11b standard.
Select 1 (Open System) or 2 (Shared Key). Open
System [no security], Shared Key [select this option if
you wish to enable WEP security], if you select both, then
both Open System and Shared Key will be simultaneously
enabled.
Select 1 (Left spread on), 2 (Right spread on), 3 (Diversity
spread on). Diversity enables both antennas, or you can
select left or right to only enable one antenna.
