13.4.1 Wireless Advanced Configuration
The following screen will be displayed if you click the
edit
button adjacent to
Advanced Configuration
in the
Wireless Configuration
screen.
Beacon Period
The time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and
capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the
access points in the area.
RTS Threshold
RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU
containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than
the MSDU size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will
be performed. A value of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs.
Fragmented Threshold
Any MSDU or MMPDU larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU of
the specified size.
Preamble Algorithm
Factory Default = Local STA’s
Possible Responses:
Always Long: Transmissions are done using the long preamble algorithm.
Always Short: Transmissions are done using the short preamble algorithm.
Local STA’s: If all associated stations support short preamble, then the short
preamble algorithm is used. Otherwise, the long preamble algorithm is used.
Slot Time Algorithm
Factory Default = Local STA’s
Possible Response:
Always Off: Transmissions are done using a 20 usec slot time.
