The following table lists the Wireless Configuration screen fields and their definitions:
Field
Description
Beacon Period
The Beacon Period is the period of time between beacon
transmissions. Before a station enters Power Save mode, the
stations require the beacon period to know when to wake up to
receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at
the Access Point.) The default setting is 200.
DTIM Period
Delivery Traffic Indication Message. This is a countdown field for
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered a
broadcast or multicast message for associated clients, it sends the
next DTIM with a DTIM Period Value. The Access Point client
awakens the broadcast and multicast messages. The default
setting is 2.
RTS Threshold
The Request To Send (RTS) is a control frame sent from the
transmitting station to the receiving station requesting permission to
transmit. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications of this value are recommended. The default setting is
2347.
Frag Threshold
This is the fragmentation mechanism used for improving the
efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. The
value can be set from 256 to 4096. Packets exceeding the 2346
byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. The default
setting is 2346.
NOTE:
If the packet size is equal to or less than the
threshold, the access point will not use
fragmentation. If the threshold is set too low,
this may result in poor performance.
Power Level
If you wish to have a shorter range signal for your antenna for
security reasons, the distance can be limited by setting this to a
lower percentage. The options are: Full, 50%, 25%, 12% or 6%.
Country String
Select the country in which the wireless network is operating from
the drop-down list.
