Using the Configuration Utility in AP Client Mode (continued) Advanced > Performance Beacon Interval: Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a beacon interval value. Default (100) is recommended. RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2432 are recommended. Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your fragmentation threshold within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting the fragmentation threshold too low may result in poor performance. DTIM Interval: (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and 255 (default is 3) for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. TX Rates: Select the transmission rate for the network. The default setting is Auto. Preamble Type: Short Preamble is the default setting. (High traffic networks should use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) used in communication between the access point and the wireless network adapters. SSID Broadcast: (Service Set Identifier) Enable or Disable (default) the broadcast of the SSID name across the network. SSID is a name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on a network must use the same SSID to establish communication. Antenna Transmit Power: Select the transmission power of the antenna. Limiting antenna power can be useful for security purposes. 28

Beacon Interval:
Beacons are packets
sent by an access point
to synchronize a wireless
network. Specify a beacon
interval value. Default
(100) is recommended.
RTS Threshold
:
This
value should remain at its
default setting of 2432. If
you encounter inconsistent
data flow, only minor modi-
fications to the value range
between 256 and 2432 are
recommended.
Fragmentation:
This
value should remain at its
default setting of 2346. If
you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your fragmentation
threshold within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting the fragmentation threshold
too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval
:
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and
255
(default is 3) for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a
countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages.
TX Rates:
Select the transmission rate for the network. The default setting is Auto.
Preamble Type:
Short Preamble
is the default setting. (High traffic networks should
use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of the CRC block
(Cyclic
Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) used
in communication between the access point and the wireless network adapters.

SSID Broadcast:
(Service Set Identifier) Enable or Disable (default) the broadcast of
the SSID name across the network. SSID is a name that identifies a wireless network.
All devices on a network must use the same SSID to establish communication.
Antenna Transmit Power:
Select the transmission power of the antenna. Limiting
antenna power can be useful for security purposes.
