Parameter Description
802.11b Preamble Mode
The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for
communication among the wireless stations. There are three
mode including Long, Short and Auto. High network traffic areas
should use the shorter preamble type. If “Auto“ mode is selected,
the adapter will auto switch the preamble mode depending on the
wireless stations that the adapter is connecting to.
Note that the parameter is only active in the Ad Hoc operation
mode.
Channel Plan
The available channel differs from different countries. For
example: USA (FCC) is channel 1-11, Europe (ETSI) is channel
1-13. The channel of the adapter has been set depends on the
country you are located. If you are in different country, you could
change the channel from the pull-down list.
Fragment Threshold
The value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size
larger than the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased
this value and experience high packet error rates, you can
increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network
performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2432 bytes.
Minor change is recommended.
RTS Threshold
Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For
packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the
packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a
setting within a range of 0 to 2432 bytes. Minor change is
recommended.
Save Log
Save the setting of the adapter to the designated file.
Set Defaults
Let the setting values return to default.
Apply
Confirm the settings in the “Advanced“.
