LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless Advanced Setup
RTS/CTS
Threshold
Enter a value between 256 and 2346.
Fragmentation
Threshold
This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between
256 and 2432.
Output Power Set the output power of the P-660HWP-Dx in this field. This control changes the
strength of the P-660HWP-Dx's antenna gain or transmission power. Antenna gain
is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves the range of the signal
for better communications. If there is a high density of APs within an area, decrease
the output power of the P-660HWP-Dx to reduce interference with other APs.
The options are Maximum, Middle and Minimum.
Preamble Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters
support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks.
Select Short preamble if you are sure the wireless adapters support it, and to
provide more efficient communications.
Select Dynamic to have the P-660HWP-Dx automatically use short preamble when
wireless adapters support it, otherwise the P-660HWP-Dx uses long preamble.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the P-660HWP-Dx.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the P-660HWP-Dx.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the P-660HWP-Dx. The transmission rate of your P-
660HWP-Dx might be reduced.
