User Manual
Item Description
B/G Protection
Mode
Default: Auto. You can select the other options including On and Off. The B/G
protection technology is CTS-To-Self. It will try to reserve the throughput for
11g clients from 11b clients connecting to the device as AP mode.
Beacon Interval
Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to synchronize the wireless
network. The beacon interval is the time interval between beacons sending by
this unit in AP or AP+WDS operation. The default and recommended beacon
interval is 100 milliseconds.
Data Beacon
Rate(DTM)
This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert the clients that
multicast and broadcast packets buffered at the AP will be transmitted
immediately after the transmission of this beacon frame. You can change the
value from 1 to 255. The AP will check the buffered data according to this value.
For example, selecting “1” means to check the buffered data at every beacon.
Fragment
Threshold
The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are
fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in
areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio
interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance.
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request
to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be
useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in
areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each
other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
TX Power The default TX power is 100%. In case of shortening the distance and the coverage
of the wireless network, input a smaller value to reduce the radio transmission
power. For example, input 80 to apply 80% Tx power.
Short Preamble Default: Disable. It is a performance parameter for 802.11 b/g mode and not
supported by some of very early stage of 802.11b station cards. If there is no such
kind of stations associated to this AP, you can enable this function.
Short Slot It is used to shorten the communication time between this AP and station.
TX Burst The device will try to send a serial of packages with single ACK reply from the
clients. Enable this function to apply it.
Country Code Select the country code for wireless from pull down menu.
