ZyAIR Wireless LAN Utility

Advanced Configuration

Long preamble mode allows more processing time for each transmitted data packet. Short preamble mode
allows less processing time for the transmitted data packets.
Using short preamble mode may minimize overhead and maximize network throughput. However, short
preamble mode is supported by IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices, thus wireless stations using short
preamble mode cannot communicate with wireless stations using the original IEEE 802.11 standard.
