The permissible packet size over wireless medium is defined in this menu –
“Fragmentation Threshold”. The packet size of 2346 is recommended. If the
fragmentation packet error rate is high, a fragmentation threshold of between 256
and 2346 can be controlled gradually. If the “Fragmentation Threshold” is
established too low, then the communication performance may be poor.
(4)
The frame size is set in this menu – “RTS Threshold”. There are two signals
(Request-to-send (RTS) and Clear-to-send (CTS)) to control the WLAN
communication. The recommended value is 2437. If the communication flow is
not smooth, then use this menu to control the “RTS Threshold” between 0 and
2437.
(5)
The “Beacon Period” controls the interval of Beacon Frame that is generated
from the DosaLink – 540. The default value of 100 is recommended.
(6)
The number of Beacon Interval in the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM)
is defined in this menu – “DTIM Interval”. It can be set between 1 and 255.
11.10.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
The WDS function is established in this menu.
The WDS is the function that the DosaLink – 540, is connecting the Ethernet,
connects to the other DosaLink – 540, is not connecting the Ethernet, in the same
subnet so that the data traffic that is from the DosaLink of not connecting the
Ethernet relays to the DosaLink – 540 that is connecting to the Ethernet. It is
possible to set the links between six of the DosaLink – 540 in max. The user’s PC
can be connected to any DosaLink – 540 that connects in WDS. The ways to set the
WDS between the DosaLink – 540s that are able to extend a WLAN network in the
same subnet are the Point-to-Point (PtP) and the Point-to-Multipoint (PMP).
(1)
The menu of “WDS” is for the selection of use of the WDS. If the “Wireless
Bridge (Master or Slave)” is selected in the 10.7 – “Wireless Setup”, then it
should also activate the WDS.
(2)
The “MAC Address 1 ~ 6” is for the MAC Address of the DosaLink – 540s, which
may be connected by the DosaLink – 540 that is activated for WDS or Wireless
Bridge (Master or Slave).
