Configuration:
Basic Advanced TCP/IP Wireless
Enable Wireless
Interface
Select this box to enable the wireless interface.
ESSID
Sets a unique network name for the
VT2500
WLAN to distinguish between multiple WLANs in
the vicinity.
If you select Disable ESSID Broadcast on the
Wireless > SECURITY — advanced
page, all clients on the WLAN must have the same ESSID (network name) as the
VT2500
.
It
can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive string up to 32 characters. The default is “Motorola.”
We strongly recommend not using the default. Never provide the ESSID to anyone who is not
authorized to use your WLAN.
Channel
Sets the wireless radio channel. You can change the channel if you encounter interference on
the default channel. The default is 1 (one), except in countries where the first channel
permitted for wireless operation is not one.
Operating Mode
Sets how the
VT2500
communicates with wireless clients (stations):
•
11b/11g Standard — Enables all IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g clients to work with the
VT2500
.
We recommend using this default setting in most cases because it is more flexible.
•
11g Enhanced — Choose this option only if all IEEE 802.11g client adapters on the network
support the performance-enhancing features of the IEEE 11g Enhanced mode. It is not
supported by all IEEE 802.11g adapters.
ADVANCED SETUP
Transmit Power
Sets the
VT2500
wireless transmission power — 3, 6, 12, 25, 50, 75, or 100%. The default is
100%. You can lower the Transmit Power to:
•
Decrease “leakage” into outside areas, such as the street
•
Improve performance if you usually position your computer or laptop close to your
VT2500
Transmission power control is an optional IEEE 802.11 feature.
RTS Threshold
The Request To Send Threshold sets the minimum packet size for which the
VT2500
issues an
RTS
before sending a packet. A low RTS threshold can help when many clients are associated
with the
VT2500
, or the clients are far apart and can detect the
VT2500
but not each other. It
can be 0 to 2347 bytes. The default is 2347.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Sets the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several packets instead of as one
packet). A low fragmentation threshold can help when communication is poor or there is a
significant interference. It can be 256 to 2346 bytes. The default is 2346.
Beacon Period
Sets the time between beacon frames sent by the
VT2500
for wireless network
synchronization. It can be from 1 to 999 ms. The default is 100 ms.
SECOND PAGE ONLY
DTIM Period
The delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) period is the number of beacon periods that
elapse before a wireless client operating in power save mode “listens” for buffered broadcast
or multicast messages from the
VT2500
. It can be from 1 to 99999. The default is 3.
