ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG102 Reference Manual (802.11a/g) 3. Enable the Wireless LAN Parameters by checking the Yes radio button and entering the appropriate information in the fields described below: • SuperA or SuperG Mode: Enable Super-A/G mode may increase the overall wireless performance. The default is Disable. • WMM Support: Wi-FI Multimedia (WMM) is disabled by default. Select the Enable radio button to enable WMM support. • RTS Threshold: Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used to determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data. The default is 2346. • 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. The default is 2346. • Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval. Specifies the interval time between 20ms and 1000ms for each beacon transmission. The default is 100. • DTIM Interval: The Delivery Traffic Indication Message. Specifies the data beacon rate between 1 and 255. The default is 1. 4. Click Apply to enable the Advanced Wireless Settings. Enabling Wireless Bridging and Repeating The ProSafe 802.11a/g Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG102 lets you build large bridged wireless networks. Select the desired wireless access point mode for your environment: • Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WAG102 will communicate ONLY with another Bridge mode Wireless Station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other Bridge mode Wireless Station in the field provided. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this communication.
