DTIM Interval:
This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast
messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Clients can
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
WMM:
WMM (Wi-Fi Multi-media) function is to promote wireless Qulity of Service
technology. Enable WMM for Wi-Fi WMM cetificate test.
Number of Wireless Stations Allowed to Associate:
Use this field to set a maximum number of
wireless stations that may connect to the device.
Enter the number (1 to 32) of wireless stations allowed.
Radio Enable:
Turn on the wireless adapter to allow wireless communications between the
device and other IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g compliant wireless device. Turn off the wireless
adapter to stop wireless communications between the device and other IEEE802.11b and
IEEE802.11g compliant wireless device.
Output Power Management:
Set the transmit signal strength of the access point. The options are full,
half, quarter, eighth
and min. Decrease the transmit power if necessary. The default is “
full
”.
Date Rate Management:
The basic transfer rates should be set depending on the speed of your
wireless network. Specifies rate of data transmission. Select the desired rate from the drop-down
menu and choose
“Best”
to adapt the rate to the best available.
Preamble Type:
The Preamble defines the length of the PLCP synchronization field for
communication between the Access Point and Network Card. Select the appropriate preamble
type and press the Apply button to set it. The default setting is ‘Dynamic’.
Super-G Mode:
Enable Super-G may enhance the wireless throughput. The default setting is
Disable.
Turbo-G Mode:
Enable Turbo-G may enhance the wireless throughput. The default setting is
Disable.
RTS/CTS Threshold:
RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden
Node” problem. If the size of the packet transmitted is larger than the value you set, the RTS will
be enabled. When the RTS is activated, the station and its Access Point will use a (RTS/CTS)
mechanism for data transmission. The setting range is 0-2346.
Fragmentation:
Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when there is
high traffic within the wireless network. If you transmit large files in a wireless network, you can
enable the Fragmentation Threshold and specify the packet size. This specifies the maximum size
a data packet will be before splitting and creating a new packet. The setting range is 256-2346.
For example: If you set value as 256, it means the packet will be fragmented into “256” bytes
