Using the Configuration Menu (continued)

Wireless Band:

Select the 802.11b or 802.11g.

SSID: (Service Set Identifier) “ default” is the default setting for 802.11g. The SSID is

a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must share the same

SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you choose to change the SSID

from the default setting, input your new SSID name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32

characters in length.

SSID Broadcast: “Enable” will allow all WLAN clients to observe its Wireless LAN

network presence. “Disable” will make the Access Point invisible to any client scanning.

Channel: Channel 6 is the default channel for 802.11b and 802.11g. Select a different

channel if you want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set

to the same channel to communicate on the network.

(Current wireless network adapters

will automatically scan for the channel to establish connection with the access point.)

Frequency: The frequency range will be displayed.

Data Rate: Select the transmission rate for the network

Beacon Interval:

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a

wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value (20-1000.) Default (100) is

recommended.

DTIM: (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of

the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Fragment Length: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you

experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your Fragmentation

Threshold within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too

low may result in poor performance.

RTS Length: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you encounter

inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2346

are recommended.

Transmit Power: Adjust the transmission range here. This tool can be helpful for security

purposes if you wish to limit the transmission range.

Please click on “

Apply

” button to have the Access Point saving the new options once you

have completed the modification.
