DTIM: A message included in data packets that can increase wireless efficiency.
Fragmentation: Breaking a packet into smaller units when transmitting over a network
medium that cannot support the original size of the packet.
RTS Threshold: Using this setting can regulate your wireless network if you experience
any inconsistent data flow situation, only by minor adjustment of the default value,
the default value 2346 is recommended. The RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled
if your wireless network packet less than RTS threshold value. The AP sends Request
to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a
data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send
(CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value
should keep at its default value of 2346.
Wireless-B/G Settings
Authentication Type:
Open System: This is default setting, those wireless clients that NOT use a WEP key for
authentication. Shared Key: This option means the wireless clients use a WEP key for
authentication. Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented.
Transmission Rate: The data transmission rate should be set depending on the speed
of your wireless network. You can select a proper transmission speeds to fit your
wireless clients requirement, or you can select Auto (Default) to have the AP
automatically adjust one the fastest and suitable data rate to fit network status at the
time. Usually this function can be named Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will
treat one best connection rate between the AP and a wireless client. The default value
is Auto (Default).
Transmission Power: This option provides the AP’s RF output power adjustment. To
minimize the possibility of eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless users, suggest to
decrease the transmission power with a needed by your wireless environment. By
drop down menu, you can select the appropriate level, Full (Default), Half, Quarter,
Eighth, or Min. The default is Full (Default).
Antenna Select: This option provides antenna setting for which one you would like to
set as TX/RX antenna. Using Diversity setting is proposed.
ACK Timeout: The Acknowledgement Timeout means from remote to local data
transmission, one parameter to control both acknowledging action to guaranty those
packets have already be received. Usually, for short distance, keep default setting is
proposed. If there is long distance application, have minor increased with this
parameter will be proposed.
