DTIM Interval Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which
broadcast
and multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Power
Saving mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity
with
the network. This value can be set from 1 to 100.
WMM Select this to turn on WMM QoS (Wireless MultiMedia Quality of Service).
The ZyXEL Device assigns priority to packets based on the IEEE 802.1q
or DSCP information in their headers. If a packet has no WMM
information in its header, it is assigned the default priority.
Number of
Wireless
Stations
Allowed to
Associate Specify how many wireless stations can associate with your ZyXEL
Device.
Radio Enable Select Yes to enable WLAN radio, and No to turn it off. The ZyXEL Device
cannot be accessed wirelessly if radio is turned off.
Output Power
Management Set the output power of the ZyXEL Device in this field. If there is a high
density of APs in an area, decrease the output power of the ZyXEL Device
to reduce interference with other APs. Select one of the following
Full
(Full Power), 50% , 25% , 12.5% or Min (Minimum). See the product
specifications for more information on your ZyXEL Device’s output power.
Preamble
Type Select Dynamic to have the AP automatically use short preamble when
wireless adapters support it, otherwise the AP uses long preamble.
Select Long if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters
support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless
networks.
RTS/CTS
Threshold (Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/
CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will
perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than
the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to its smallest value (1) turns on the
RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between
1 and 2346 .
Fragmentation The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for
directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be
sent. Enter an even number between
256 and 2346 .
Rates
Configuration This section controls the data rates permitted for clients.
For each Rate , select an option from the Configuration list. The options
are:
• Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access
point at this speed.
• Optional : Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when
permitted to do so by the AP.
• Disable : Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed.
Enable
Antenna
Diversity Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple
antennas to reduce signal interference.
