4.1.2 Advanced Wireless Setting On the Advanced Wireless Setting page, you can configure Beacon Interval, DTIM Period, RTS Threshold and Fragmentation Threshold. Beacon Interval: Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. You can specify a value from 40 to 100. The default value is 100. DTIM Period: 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. RTS Threshold: When the RTS Threshold is activated, all the clients and EAPs follow RTS (Request to Send) protocol. If the client is to send packets, it will send a RTS packet to EAP to inform that it will send data. After receiving the RTS packet, the EAP notices other clients in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data. At the same time, the EAP informs the requesting client to send data. The default is 2347. If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets are sent more frequently, which consumes more bandwidth and reduces the throughput of the packet. Fragmentation Threshold: Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of 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. 27

Advanced Wireless Setting
On the Advanced Wireless Setting page, you can configure Beacon Interval, DTIM Period, RTS Threshold
and Fragmentation Threshold.
Beacon Interval
: Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP device to announce the presence of a
wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent
by the device. You can specify a value from 40 to 100. The default value is 100.
DTIM Period
: 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.
RTS Threshold
: When the RTS Threshold is activated, all the clients and EAPs follow RTS (Request to
Send) protocol. If the client is to send packets, it will send a RTS packet to EAP to inform that it will send
data. After receiving the RTS packet, the EAP notices other clients in the same wireless network to delay
their transmitting of data. At the same time, the EAP informs the requesting client to send data. The
default is 2347. If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets are sent more frequently, which
consumes more bandwidth and reduces the throughput of the packet.
Fragmentation Threshold
: Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of 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.
