Configuring Wireless LAN Parameters
The default advanced wireless LAN parameter settings usually work well. If you want the AP to
operate in Supger-G mode, use this feature.
Figure 5-4: Advanced Wireless Settings screen
The table below describes the advanced wireless parameters.
Table 5-1.
Advanced Wireless LAN Settings Fields
Field
Description
RTS Threshold
The packet size used to determine whether it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) or the CSMA/CA (Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet
transmission.
Fragmentation Length
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.
Beacon Interval
Specifies the data beacon rate between 20 and 1004.
DTIM Interval
The Delivery Traffic Indication Message specifies the data beacon rate between
1 and 255.
Preamble Type
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
Antenna
Select the desired antenna for transmitting and receiving. Auto is the default.
