SBG940 User Guide

Operating Mode
Sets how the SBG940 communicates with wireless clients (stations):
•
11b/11g Standard — Enables all IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g clients to work with the
SBG940.
We recommend using this default setting in most cases because it is more flexible.
•
11g Enhanced — Choose this option only if all IEEE 802.11g client adapters on the network
support the performance-enhancing features of the IEEE 11g Enhanced mode. It is not
supported by all IEEE 802.11g adapters.
ADVANCED SETUP
Transmit Power
Sets the SBG940 wireless transmission power — 3, 6, 12, 25, 50, 75, or 100%. The default is
100%. You can turn down the Transmit Power to:
•
Decrease “leakage” into outside areas such as the street
•
Improve performance if you usually position your computer or laptop close to your SBG940
Transmission power control is an optional IEEE 802.11 feature.
RTS Threshold
The Request To Send Threshold
sets the minimum packet size for which the SBG940 issues
an
RTS
before sending a packet. A low RTS Threshold can help when many clients are
associated with the SBG940 or the clients are far apart and can detect the SBG940 but not
each other. It can be 0 to 2347 bytes. The default is 2347.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Sets the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several packets instead of as one
packet). A low Fragmentation Threshold can help when communication is poor or there is a
significant interference. It can be 256 to 2346 bytes. The default is 2346.
Beacon Period
Sets the time between beacon frames sent by the SBG940 for wireless network
synchronization. It can be from 1 to 999 ms. The default is 100 ms.
DTIM Period
The delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) period is the number of Beacon Periods that
elapse before a wireless client operating in power save mode “listens” for buffered broadcast
or multicast messages from the SBG940. It can be from 1 to 99999. The default is 3.
