Field or Button

Description

Advanced Setup

RTS
Threshold

Sets the packet size at which the RSG2500 issues a request to send.
The range is 1 to 2347 bytes. The default is 2347.

Fragmentation
Threshold

Sets the size at which packets are fragmented and transmitted a piece
at a time instead of all at once. The range is 256 to 2346 bytes. The
default is 2346.

Beacon
Period

Sets the interval between network synchronization broadcasts. The
range is 1 to 65535 milliseconds. The default is 100 milliseconds.

DTIM Period

Sets the Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps period value from 1 to 255, in
multiples of the Beacon Period. The default is 1.

Because changing the Beacon and DTIM Period settings may affect
wireless performance, we recommend not changing the defaults.

Radio
Transmit
Power

Sets the percentage of wireless transmission power that is used —
100%, 75%, 50&, 25%, 12%, 6%, or 3%.
