Wireless Settings
You can use this screen to configure various parameters of your WLA-5000AP.
Beacon Interval:
The WLA-5000AP broadcasts beacon frames regularly to announce its existence.
The beacon Interval specifies how often beacon frames are transmitted - in time unit of milliseconds.
Its default value is 100; a valid value should be between 20 and 1000.
RTS Threshold:
RTS/CTS frames are used to gain control of the medium for transmission. Any uni-
cast (data or control) frames larger than the specified RTS threshold must be transmitted following the
RTS/CTS handshake exchange mechanism. The RTS threshold should have a value between 0 and
2347 bytes, with a default value of 2347. A value of zero activates the RTS/CTS handshake before
every transmission. It is recommended that this value does not deviate from the default too much.
Fragmentation:
When the size of a unicast frame exceeds the fragmentation threshold, the frame will
be fragmented before transmission. The threshold should have a value of 256-2346 bytes, with a de-
fault value of
2346
. If you experience a high packet error rate, you should slightly decrease the Frag-
mentation Threshold.
DTIM Interval:
The WLA-5000AP buffers packets for stations that operate in the power-saving
mode. A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) contains information on which power-
conserving stations have packets waiting to be received. The DTIM interval specifies how often bea-
con frames should contain DTIMs. It should have a value between 1 and 255, with a default value of
3
.
