Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Wireless BandIEEE802.11a is selected (default). FrequencyThe frequency is 5.18GHz. Advanced > Performance > 802.11a ChannelThe default channel is 36. Auto Channel SelectThe access point automatically selects the best channel for communication. The default setting is Disabled. Data RateSelect the transmission rate for the network. The default is Auto. Beacon Interval- Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a network. Specify a beacon interval value. The default (100) is recommended. DTIM- (Delivery Traffic Indication Message)- DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Fragment Length- The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting RTS LengthTransmit Power- This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2346 are recommended Choose full, half (-3dB), quarter (-6dB), eighth (-9dB), minimum power. This tool can be helpful for security purposes if you wish to limit the transmission range. Super ModeDisabled- Super Mode is a group of performance enhancement features that increase end user application throughput in an 802.11a network. For top performance, all wireless devices on the network should be Super Mode capable. Select either Disabled, Super Mode without Turbo, Super Mode with Dynamic Turbo, or Super Mode with Static Turbo. Standard 802.11a support, no enhanced capabilities. Super Mode Capable of Packet Bursting, FastFrames, Compression, and no without Turbo- Turbo mode. 18
