Wireless users’ will be kicked off when DCA is processing (new operational 
frequency channel takes effect).  

DCA optional channel

 – show the channels only in which auto channel selection (DCA) will be 

processed to reduce interference. 

 

Only when DCA is enabled, 

DCA threshold

 and 

DCA optional channel 

will be 

shown.  

Preamble

 – if your wireless device supports the short preamble and you are having trouble getting it 

to communicate with other 802.11b devices, make sure that it is set to use the long preamble. 

Auto: 

using long preamble when there are clients not supporting short preamble connected , 

otherwise using short preamble. The default is Auto.[recommend]

 

Short: 

always using short preamble.

 

Long: 

always using long preamble. 

Slot Time 

– show the slot time policy when working in 2.4GHz band. 

Auto: 

using long slot time when there are clients not supporting short slot time connected in, 

otherwise using short slot time. The Switching between long and short slot time is automatic.

 

Short: 

always using short slot time.

 

Long: 

always using long slot time. 

 

To Maximize the compatibility with some 11b clients, set both 

Preamble

 and 

Slot 

Time

 to long.
