3.2.4 WIRELESS SETTINGS
Beacon Interval: The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT broadcasts beacon frames regularly
to announce its existence. The beacon Interval specifies how often beacon frames are
transmitted in time unit of milliseconds. The default value is 100, and a valid value should
be between 1 and 65,535.
RTS Threshold: RTS/CTS frames are used to gain control of the medium for
transmission. Any unicast (data or control) frames larger than specified RTS threshold
must be transmitted following the RTS/CTS handshake exchange mechanism. The RTS
threshold should have a value between 256-2347 bytes, with a default of 2347. It is
recommended that this value does not deviate from the default too much.
Fragmentation: When the size of a unicast frame exceeds the fragmentation threshold,
it will be fragmented before the transmission. It should have a value of 256-2346 bytes,
with a default of 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you should slightly
decrease the Fragmentation Threshold.
DTIM Interval: The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT buffers packets for stations that
operate in the power-saving mode. The Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM)
informs such power-conserving stations that there are packets waiting to be received by
them. The DTIM interval specifies how often the beacon frame should contain DTIMs.
It should have a value between 1 to 255, with a default value of 3.
