Transmission Rate: The data transmission rate should be set depending on the speed
of your wireless network. You can select a proper transmission speeds to fit your
wireless clients requirement, or you can select Auto (Default) to have the AP
automatically adjust one the fastest and suitable data rate to fit network status at the
time. Usually this function can be named Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will
treat one best connection rate between the AP and a wireless client. The default value
is Auto (Default).
Transmission Power: This option provides the AP’s RFoutput power adjustment. To
minimize the possibility of eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless users, suggest to
decrease the transmission power with a needed by your wireless environment. By
drop down menu, you can select the appropriate level, Full (Default), Half, Quarter,
Eighth, or Min. The default is Full (Default).
Antenna Select: This option provides antenna setting for which one you would like to
set as TX/RX antenna. Using Diversity setting is proposed.
ACK Timeout: The Acknowledgement Timeout means from remote to local data
transmission, one parameter to control both acknowledging action to guaranty those
packets have already be received. Usually, for short distance, keep default setting is
proposed. If there is long distance application, have minor increased with this
parameter will be proposed.
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the
beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP
to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages.
The default value is 1.
Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before
data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate,
you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation
Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of
the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value
of 2346.
Beacon interval: The data transmitted on your wireless network that keeps the
network synchronized.
