Chapter 6 Wireless LAN Figure 55 Network > Wireless LAN > Advanced (Universal Repeater Mode) The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 31 Network > Wireless LAN > Advanced LABEL DESCRIPTION Wireless Advanced Setup RTS/CTS Threshold Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS (Request To Send)/ CTS (Clear To Send) handshake. Fragmentation Threshold Beacon Interval DTIM Period Preamble Type CTS Protection Enter a value between 0 and 2347. The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter an even number between 256 and 2346. When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval. This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon. This value can be set from 20 to 1024 ms. A high value helps save current consumption of the access point. Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast and multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power Management mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity with the network. This value can be set from 1 to 10. A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble modes: long and short. If a device uses a different preamble mode than the NBG-418N does, it cannot communicate with the NBG-418N. When set to None, the NBG-418N protects wireless communication against interference. Tx Power Select Auto to let the NBG-418N determine whether to turn this feature on or off in the current environment. This field controls the transmission power of the NBG-418N. When using the NBG-418N with a notebook computer, select a lower transmission power level when you are close to the AP in order to conserve battery power. NBG-418N User's Guide 77
