Beacon IntervalRTS ThresholdFragmentationDTIM intervalPreamble Type- Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended. This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made. The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the roaming wireless network adapters. Auto is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. 29

Advanced > Performance
Preamble Type-
Select
Short
or
Long Preamble.
The Preamble defines the
length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a com-
mon technique for detecting data transmission errors) for com-
munication between the wireless router and the roaming wire-
less network adapters.
Auto
is the default setting.
Note: High
network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
Beacon Interval-
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize
a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting
and is recommended.
RTS Threshold-
This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If incon-
sistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should
be made.
Fragmentation-
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, deter-
mines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding
the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission.
2346 is the default setting.
DTIM interval-
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message)
3
is the default setting. A
DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Wireless
Performance-
Displayed in this
window are the Wire-
less Performance
features for the Ac-
cess Point portion of
the DI-524.
