User's Guide for the ME103 802.11b ProSafe Wireless Access Point Table 4-1. Advanced Wireless Settings Fields Field Parameters RTS Threshold Fragmentation Length Beacon Interval Preamble Type Antenna Selection Output Power Level Description These parameters determine the properties of the radio frequency communications of the wireless access point. The packet size that is used to determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet transmission. This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value. Specifies the data beacon rate between 20 and 3000 [Tim, what is the unit of time?]. The default setting of 100 should work in most situations. A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. Long is the default. You may select the following options: • Primary (R) • Secondary (L) • Diversity - Please note that ME103 diversity is provided in receive mode only, not in transmit mode. The PRIMARY RF port provides transmit and receive. The SECONDARY provides receive mode only. Lowering the output power level lets you reduce the chance of interference with other nearby access points and reduces the coverage range. You can set the power output level of the transmitter to these options: 18dbm (64mw), 17dbm (50mw), 15dbm (30mw), 13dbm (20mw), 7dbm (5mw), 0dbm (1mw). 4-14 Advanced Configuration
