Radio Wave: Select Enable or Disable. WMM: (Wi-Fi Multimedia) Improves the user experience for audio, video, and voice applications over a Wi-Fi network. WMM is based on a subset of the IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard. Antenna Diversity: This option is enabled by default. When enabled, each radio (5g/2.4g) will automatically switch to the antenna with the greatest RSSI value. When disabled, each radio will use its main antenna when facing the AP, 5GHz will use the right antenna to transmit and receive packets while the 2.4GHz radio will use the left. Data Rate*: A pull-down menu to select the maximum wireless signal rate for the selected device(s). Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a (20~1000): network. Specify the beacon value for the selected device(s) here. The default value of 100 is recommended. DTIM (1~255): DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a countdown informing clients of the next listening window for broadcast and multicast messages. Fragment Length This sets the fragmentation threshold (specified in bytes). Packets (256~2346): exceeding the value set here will be fragmented. The default is 2346. RTS Length The RTS value should not be changed unless you encounter (256~2346): inconsistent data flow. The default value is 2346. Tx Power: 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. Auto Channel: Enable this option to automatically select the most optimal channel available for wireless networking and to scan for the least populated channel. D-Link DWL-8200AP User Manual 70 *Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a and 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate.
