protection.
Beacon Interval
:
Intervals to transmit wireless beacon frames. During this time range, a beacon frame
will be transmitted to trigger status replies from any clients.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM)
: Intervals to transmit specific indication messages. Notifies the next client
window to receive broadcast and multicast.
Fragment Threshold
: Specific fragment thresholds of the data packets. When the length of the data
packet exceeds such threshold then packets are split automatically.
RTS threshold
: A RTS (Request to Send) threshold specified by the data packets. When the length of
the data packets exceeds this threshold the Router will send an RTS to the target sites for negotiation.
After the wireless site (client) receives RTS frames it will respond to the Router by sending a CTS
(Clear to Send) frame indicating that the wireless communication is possible.
TX power
: Defines percentage of Transmit power – 100% is full power.
Short preamble
: The default status is “Prohibit”. The Router applies long preambles by default. If
short peambles are enabled then the system will no longer be compatible with the operation speed
(1Mbps or 2Mbps) of the traditional IEEE802.11 but efficiency for higher speeds is improved.
Short slot
: The default setting is “Enable” and you can switch it off. Setting this to “Enable” might
enhance the transmission rate of the wireless communication.
Tx Burst
: This is a feature at the MAC address level and might enhance TCP transmission fairness for
the wireless network.
Pkt_Aggregate
: A mechanism to strengthen the LAN and make sure that the data packet could arrive at
the destination.

WI-FI Multimedia:
Wi-Fi multimedia capabilities
: Enable WMM functions. WMM function will not take effect until the
WIFI is enabled.
Direct online capabilities
: The enablement will weaken the wireless performance, but could save the
energy and electricity.
wireless multimedia parameters:
WMM enables the wireless communications to define a priority (QoS)
range according to the data types. Time-sensitive data such as video/audio data has higher priority than that of
normal data. Wireless clients need to also support WMM for these functions to work.
