encounter severe communication difficulties between the GlobeSurfer 3G
and Wireless-G products.
Beacon interval
A beacon is a packet broadcast by GlobeSurfer 3G to syn-
chronize the wireless network. The beacon interval value indicates how
often the beacon is sent.
DTIM interval
The Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is a count-
down value that informs wireless clients of the next opportunity to re-
ceive multicast and broadcast messages. This value ranges between 1
and 16384.
Fragmentation threshold
Packets that are larger than this threshold are frag-
mented into multiple packets. Try to increase the fragmentation thresh-
old if you encounter high packet error rates. Do not set the threshold too
low, since this can result in reduced networking performance.
RTS threshold
GlobeSurfer 3G sends Request to Send (RTS) packets to the
wireless client in order to negotiate the dispatching of data. The wire-
less client responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) packet, signaling that
transmission can commence. In case packets are smaller than the pre-
set threshold, the RTC/CTS mechanism is not active. If you encounter
inconsistent data flow, try a minor reduction of the RTS threshold size.

to allow wireless clients that
use WPA to communicate with the gateway. Select
Accept 802.1X WEP
stations
to allow wireless clients that use standard WEP to communicate
with the gateway. Select
