6.4 WLAN Performance 126
Options Values
Signal Interval
Time interval for sending a beacon for synchronization.
Range of valid values: 20 to 1000. Default: 200.
DTIM
The Access Point caches deliveries for its clients. Then a
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) informs the
client about the delivery. The client prepares for receiv-
ing the messages. Default: 2.
Threshold for RTS
Generally there is no need to change this value. If the
flow of traffic becomes inconsistent, change the value
within the range between 256 and 2,346. Default: 2346
Note: If you have to change this value, do it in small
steps and keep track of the effects.
Threshold for Fragmentation
Default: 2346
Treshold for breaking down of data packets; measured
in bytes. Data packets larger than 2,346 bytes are bro-
ken down before transmission.
Generally there is no need to change this value, exept
for a huge packet error rate. Valid range between 256
and 2,346. Default: 2346
Note: Chosing a low value for fragmentation may result
in bad data transfer rates.
B/G Mode
Choose between both supported 802.1x standards to
adjust the HorstBox as Access Point to all devices in
your WLAN.
- 11b: just IEEE 802.11b.
- 11g: Mixed Mode: both standards (IEEE 802.11b and
IEEE 802.11g).
