network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput
performance instead of providing a remedy.
This value should remain at its default setting of
2347
. Should you
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value
are recommended.
Beacon Interval
: Beacon Interval is the amount of time between
beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode,
the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to
receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at
the access point).
Inactivity Time
:
Data Rate
: By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest
possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used
among the following options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For
most networks the default setting is
Auto
which is the best choice.
When
Auto
is enabled the transmission rate will select the optimal
rate. If obstacles or interference are present, the system will
automatically fall back to a lower rate.
Preamble Type
: A preamble is a signal used in wireless
environment to synchronize the transmitting timing including
Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. (
Note
: If you want to
change the Preamble type into
Long
or
Short
, please check the
setting of AP)
Broadcast SSID
:
Enable
: This wireless AP will broadcast its SSID to
stations.
Disable
: This wireless AP will not broadcast its SSID to stations. If stations want
to connect to this wireless AP, this AP’s SSID should be known in advance to
make a connection.
IAPP
: IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is designed for the
enforcement of unique association throughout a ESS (Extended
Service Set) and a secure exchange of station’s security context
between current access point (AP) and new AP during handoff
period.
802.11g Protection
: The 802.11g standard includes a protection
mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operations. If
there is no such kind of mechanism exists, the two kinds of
standards may mutually interfere and decrease network’s
performance.
Tx Power leve
l: Select the Tx Power Level from the pull-down
men including
Highest (~16dBm)
,
High (~15dBm)
,
Middle
(~13dBm)
,
Low (~10dBm)
and
Lowest (~3dBm)
.
Enable WatchDog
: Check to enable the WatchDog function.
Watch Interval
: Set the
Watch Interval
in from
1
to
60
minutes.
Watch Host
: Set the
Watch Host
in this column.
Ack Timeout
: When a packet is sent out from one wireless station
to the other, it will wait for an Acknowledgement frame from the
remote station. If the ACK is NOT received within that timeout
