ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 3. Specify the settings as explained in the following table: Table 24. Advanced Wireless Settings Field Description RTS Threshold (0-2347) Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is 2347. If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period. If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data. Fragmentation Length (256-2346) Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted. The fragmentation length needs to be an even number. The default setting is 2346. Beacon Interval (100-1000) Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon transmission, which allows the wireless access point to synchronize the wireless network. The default setting is 100. Aggregation Length (1024-65535) Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a mode. Enter the maximum length of Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit (AMPDU) packets. Larger aggregation lengths could lead to better network performance. Aggregation is a mechanism used to achieve higher throughput. The default setting is 65535. AMPDU Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11b/bg modes and the 802.11a mode. Select the Enable radio button to allow the aggregation of several MAC frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. Enabling Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit (AMPDU) could lead to better network performance. By default, the Enable radio button is selected. RIFS Transmission Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11b/bg modes and the 802.11a mode. Select the Enable radio button to allow transmission of successive frames at different transmit powers. Enabling Reduced Interframe Space (RIFS) could lead to better network performance. By default, the Disable radio button is selected. DTIM Interval (1-255) Enter the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) interval, also referred to as the data beacon rate, which indicates the beacon delivery traffic indication message period in multiples of beacon intervals. This value needs to be between 1 and 255. The default setting is 3. Advanced Configuration 85

Specify the settings as explained in the following table:
Table 24.
Advanced Wireless Settings
Field
Description
RTS Threshold (0–2347)
Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is
2347.
If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the
wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is
transmitted immediately after the silence period.
If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access
point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS
packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to
return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet
data.
Fragmentation Length (256–2346)
Enter the maximum packet size that is used for the fragmentation of
data packets. Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation
length are broken up into smaller packets before being transmitted.
The fragmentation length needs to be an even number. The default
setting is 2346.
Beacon Interval (100–1000)
Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon
transmission, which allows the wireless access point to synchronize
the wireless network. The default setting is 100.
Aggregation Length (1024–65535)
Note:
This setting does not apply
to the 802.11a mode.
Enter the maximum length of Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit
(AMPDU) packets. Larger aggregation lengths could lead to better
network performance. Aggregation is a mechanism used to achieve
higher throughput. The default setting is 65535.
AMPDU
Note:
This setting does not apply
to the 802.11b/bg modes and the
802.11a mode.
Select the
Enable
radio button to allow the aggregation of several MAC
frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. Enabling
Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit (AMPDU) could lead to better
network performance. By default, the Enable radio button is selected.
RIFS Transmission
Note:
This setting does not apply
to the 802.11b/bg modes and the
802.11a mode.
Select the
Enable
radio button to allow transmission of successive
frames at different transmit powers. Enabling Reduced Interframe
Space (RIFS) could lead to better network performance. By default, the
Disable radio button is selected.
DTIM Interval (1–255)
Enter the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) interval, also
referred to as the data beacon rate, which indicates the beacon
delivery traffic indication message period in multiples of beacon
intervals. This value needs to be between 1 and 255. The default
setting is 3.
