The Valet will automatically
use CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode when your
Wireless-N and Wireless-G products are experiencing
severe problems and are not able to transmit to the

Beacon Interval
Enter a value between 1 and 65,535
milliseconds . The Beacon Interval value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon . A beacon is a packet
broadcast by the Valet to synchronize the wireless
network .Thedefaultvalueis
100
.
DTIM Interval
Thisvalue,between1and255,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 Valet has buffered
broadcastormulticastmessagesforassociatedclients,it
sendsthenextDTIMwithaDTIMIntervalvalue .Itsclients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
andmulticastmessages .Thedefaultvalueis
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 .SettingtheFragmentationThresholdtoolow
may result in poor network performance . Only minor
reductionofthedefaultvalueisrecommended .Inmost
cases,itshouldremainatitsdefaultvalueof

.
RTS Threshold
Shouldyouencounterinconsistentdata
flow,onlyminorreductionofthedefaultvalue,

,is
recommended . If a network packet is smaller than the
preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled .TheValet sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates
