OPTION
DEFINITION
BG Protection Mode
A protective measure designed to prevent collisions among 802.11b/g modes. Mode options include
Auto, On, or Off.
Client Idle Timeout
The time in seconds that a wireless client session can be idle before the gateway cancels the session
and defines the wireless client as not connected.
Beacon Interval:
Interval of time in which the wireless gateway broadcasts a beacon which is used to synchronize the
wireless network.
Frequency (Channel)
The frequency or wireless channel that the gateway is broadcasting with. Recommended channels are
1, 6 or 11.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM)
Interval of time in which the wireless gateway broadcasts a beacon which is used to synchronize the
wireless network.
Fragmentation Threshold
This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you
set this value too low, it will result in bad performance.
RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless gateway will not use the
RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
TX Power
This determines the output power of the antenna.
Short Preamble
Enable or disable short preambles in use on the wireless network. Using short preambles should
improve throughput, however some wireless network adapters must use long preambles.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID)
Use this to show or hide the SSID (wireless network name) of your gateway.
