Advanced Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your WG302 802.11g ProSafe
Wireless Access Point. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the main
menu.
Understanding Advanced Wireless Settings
The default advanced wireless settings usually work well. These settings should not be changed
unless you are sure it is necessary.

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 3000.
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.
