Using the Configuration Menu Advanced > Performance The default Performance settings are shown here. Beacon Interval: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value. Default (100) is recommended. RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,432. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2,432 are recommended. Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance. DTIM Interval (Beacon Rate): (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and 255 (default is 3) for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Basic Rates: Default is 1-2Mbps. We recommend that you keep the setting at default. If you lose connection at the TX rate, you will regain connection at the basic rate. A lower Basic Rate will make reconnection easier. (If you are running a wireless network consisting of all D-Link AirPlus and Air Premier products, you may set a higher basic rate.) TX Rates: Select the transmission rate for the network. The default rate is 1-2-5.5-11-22Mbps. Preamble: Long Preamble is the default setting. (High traffic networks should use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) used in communication between the Access Point and the roaming wireless Network adapters. Authentication: Open System - communicates the key across the network Shared Key - devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate Auto - automatically adjusts to the Authentication mode of the wireless cli1e7nt

Using the Configuration Menu
Advanced > Performance
The default Performance settings
are shown here.
Beacon Interval:
Beacons are
packets sent by an Access Point
to synchronize a wireless net-
work.
Specify a Beacon interval
value.
Default (100) is recom-
mended.
RTS Threshold:
This value
should remain at its default set-
ting of 2,432.
If you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications to the value range
between 256 and 2,432 are rec-
ommended.
Fragmentation:
This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346.
If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your Fragmenta-
tion Threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346.
Setting the Fragmentation
Threshold too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval (Beacon Rate)
:
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a
value between 1 and 255
(default is 3) for the Delivery Traffic Indication Mes-
sage (DTIM.)
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Basic Rates:
Default is 1-2Mbps. We recommend that you keep the setting at
default. If you lose connection at the TX rate, you will regain connection at the
basic rate.
A lower Basic Rate will make reconnection easier. (If you are running
a wireless network consisting of all D-Link AirPlus and Air Premier products,
you may set a higher basic rate.)
TX Rates:
Select the transmission rate for the network.
The default rate is
1-2-5.5-11-22Mbps.
Preamble:
Long Preamble
is the default setting. (High traffic networks should
use the shorter preamble type.)
The preamble defines the length of the CRC
block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors) used in communication between the Access Point and the
roaming wireless Network adapters.
Authentication:
Open System
- communicates the key across the network
Shared Key
- devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate
Auto
- automatically adjusts to the Authentication mode of the wireless client
