WR850
3-49
Field Description
Multicast Rate:
(ADVANCED)
Sets a specific value for the wireless data rate for multicast/
broadcast applications, since these applications can absorb
network capacity more quickly.
You can select a specific data rate from those in the pull-down
list, to force multicasts or broadcasts to fall within a certain
capacity limit.
Your WR850 can automatically adjust the wireless data rate
when communicating with clients, in order to optimize
performance for clients. Select
Auto
to enable this feature.

Field Description
Fragmentation
Threshold:
(ADVANCED)
Data communicated over the wireless network is fragmented and
sent in “packets” instead of all at once. This is part of the
scheme by which the wireless channel is shared among multiple
users.
The fragmentation threshold sets the size of these “packets” in
bytes. The entered value must be between 256 and 2346.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
2346
RTS Threshold:
(ADVANCED)
Sets the packet size, in bytes, for Request to Send (RTS)
messages sent by the WR850.
The entered value must be between 0 and 2347.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
2347
DTIM Interval:
(ADVANCED)
Sets the time period to communicate within a Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM), in multiples of
Beacon Intervals
(see
below). A DTIM informs clients when to expect broadcast and
multicast messages (allowing them to “power save” in between).
The entered value must be between 1 and 255.
