screen will appear. From the drop-down menus, select the desired settings. Then, click Apply to allow the settings to
take effect.
Wireless Advanced Configuration
Beacon Interval The time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and
capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the
access points in the area.
Fragmentation Threshold Any MSDU or MPDU larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU of
the specified size.
RTS Threshold RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU
containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than
the MSDU size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will
be performed. A value of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs.
Preamble Algorithm Factory Default = Always Long
Possible Responses:
Always Long: Transmissions are done using the long preamble algorithm.
Always Short: Transmissions are done using the short preamble algorithm.
Local STA’s: If all associated stations support short preamble, then the short
preamble algorithm is used. Otherwise, the long preamble algorithm is used.
