Sets the Physical Layer (NPHY) rate. Choose Legacy Rate to
use 802.11a or 802.11g modes, and then choose the rate in the
Legacy Rate field.
Sets the wireless rate to the chosen 802.11a or 802.11g legacy
rate.
Specifies the Beacon Interval from 100 to 65535ms. This value
indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a
packet broadcast by the DDW365 to keep the network
synchronized. A beacon includes information regarding the
wireless networks service area, the access point address, the
broadcast destination addresses, a time stamp, delivery traffic
indicator maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM).
Specifies the DTIM interval from 3 to 255ms. This value
indicates how often the DDW365 sends out a Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more
efficient networking, while preventing your wireless clients from
dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow
your wireless clients to enter sleep mode, thus saving power,
but interferes with wireless transmissions.
Specifies the fragmentation threshold packet size between 256-
2346 bytes. Fragmentation takes place when a packet's size
exceeds the fragmentation threshold.
Specifies the RTS (request to send) threshold from 0 to 2347ms.
This setting determines how large a packet can be before the
DDW365 coordinates transmission and reception to ensure
efficient communication. This value should remain at its default
setting of 2347 bytes. If you encounter inconsistent data flow,
minor modification to this setting is recommended.
