Chapter 6 Wireless Tab RTS Threshold When the RTS threshold is activated, all the stations and APs follow the Request to Send (RTS) protocol. When the station is to send packets, it will send a RTS to AP to inform the AP that it will send data. After receiving the RTS, the AP notice other stations in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data. At the same time, the AP inform the requesting station to send data. The value range is from 0 to 2346 bytes. The default value is 2346, which means that RTS is disabled. Fragmentation Threshold Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of the packet is larger than the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the excessive packets. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes. DTIM Interval This value indicates the number of beacon intervals between successive Delivery Traffic Indication Messages (DTIMs) and this number is included in each Beacon frame. A DTIM is contained in Beacon frames to indicate whether the access point has buffered broadcast and/or multicast data for the client devices. Following a Beacon frame containing a DTIM, the access point will release the buffered broadcast and/or multicast data, if any exists. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications. We recommend you keep it by default. AP Isolation With this option enabled, AP Isolation to isolate all wireless stations connected to this device so that they cannot communicate with each other. This function will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is enabled. Short GI Short GI is used to increase the throughput by reducing the guard interval time. We recommend you enable this function. Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) With WMM enabled, the system will prioritize traffic according to the data type when forwarding data. Time-dependent traffic, such as video or audio packets, gets a higher priority than normal traffic. We recommend you enable this function when you are running the video or audio application. QoS The QoS function improves the transmission performance of video or audio traffic by optimizing the scheduling policy between the AP and the clients. - 68 -

RTS Threshold
When the RTS threshold is activated, all the stations and APs follow the Request
to Send (RTS) protocol. When the station is to send packets, it will send a RTS to
AP to inform the AP that it will send data. After receiving the RTS, the AP notice
other stations in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data.
At the same time, the AP inform the requesting station to send data. The value
range is from 0 to 2346 bytes. The default value is 2346, which means that RTS is
disabled.
Fragmentation Threshold
Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of the packet is larger
than the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into several
packets. Too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless
performance caused by the excessive packets. The recommended and default
value is 2346 bytes.
DTIM Interval
This value indicates the number of beacon intervals between successive
Delivery Traffic Indication Messages (DTIMs) and this number is included in each
Beacon frame. A DTIM is contained in Beacon frames to indicate whether the
access point has buffered broadcast and/or multicast data for the client devices.
Following a Beacon frame containing a DTIM, the access point will release the
buffered broadcast and/or multicast data, if any exists. You can specify the value
between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating the DTIM
Interval is the same as Beacon Interval. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce
the performance of multicast applications. We recommend you keep it by
default.
AP Isolation
With this option
enabled, AP Isolation to isolate all wireless stations connected
to this device so that they cannot communicate with each other. This function
will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is enabled.
Short GI
Short GI is used to increase the throughput by reducing the guard interval time.
We recommend you enable this function.
Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM)
With WMM enabled, the system will prioritize traffic according to the data type
when forwarding data. Time-dependent traffic, such as video or audio packets,
gets a higher priority than normal traffic.
We recommend you enable this function when you are running the video or
audio application.
QoS
The QoS function improves the transmission performance of video or audio
traffic by optimizing the scheduling policy between the AP and the clients.
