A pulldown menu for selecting the transmit power of the selected
device(s).
Tx Power
:
A pulldown menu to select the maximum wireless signal rate for the
selected device(s).
Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a
network. Specify the beacon value for the selected device(s) here.
The default value of 100 is recommended.

DTIM (1~255)
: DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a countdown informing
clients of the next listening window for broadcast and multicast
messages.
Select this option to automatically select the most optimal channel
available for wireless networking (default for AP mode).

This sets the fragmentation threshold (specified in bytes). Packets
exceeding the value set here will be fragmented. The default is 2346.
Fragment Length
(256~2346)
:
The RTS value should not be changed unless you encounter
inconsistent data flow. The default value is 2346.
RTS Length
(256~2346)
:
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead,
lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
Antenna Diversity:
The DWL-3200AP supports 2.4GHz radio with two antennas. Radio
is connected to each antenna and supports auto diversity mode by
default. This means that the access point will auto switch to the
antenna with better RSSI value.
Diversity: The DWL-3200AP will auto switch to the antenna with
better RSSI value.
Left Antenna: The AP will not switch antenna and the radio will
use the left antenna (when facing the AP) to transmit and receive
packets.
Right Antenna: AP won’t switch antenna and the radio will use
the right antenna (when facing the AP) to transmit and receive
packets.
