ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Table 31. Advanced wireless settings (continued) Setting Description 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 (A-MPDU) 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 the aggregated MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU) 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. Preamble Type Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a/na modes. Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the preamble type: • Long. A long transmit preamble might provide a more reliable connection or a slightly longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. • Auto. The Auto setting enables the wireless access point to handle both long and short preambles. The default setting is Auto. Antenna Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a/na modes. Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the antenna: • Internal. Enables the internal antenna. This is the default setting. • External. Enables an optional external antenna or antennas. 802.11d Note: This setting does not apply to the 802.11a/na modes. Select this check box to enable support for additional regulatory domains that are not in the current standard; support includes the addition of a country information element to beacons, probe requests, and probe responses. This check box is selected by default. Advanced Configuration 109
