Using the Configuration Menu
The default Performance
settings are shown here.
Beacon Interval: Beacons are
packets sent by an Access
Point to synchronize a wireless
network. Specify a Beacon
interval value. Default (100) is
recommended.
RTS Threshold: This value
should remain at its default
setting of 2,432. If you
encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications
to the value range between
256 and 2,432 are
recommended.
Fragmentation: This value
should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you experience a high packet error
rate, you may slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold within the value range
of 256 to 2,346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor
performance.
DTIM Interval (Beacon Rate): (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value
between 1 and 16384 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is
a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages.
Transmission Rate: Select the transmission rate for the network
Preamble: Long Preamble is the default setting. (High traffic networks should use
the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of the CRC block
(Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission
errors) used in communication between the Access Point and the roaming wireless
Network adapters.
Authentication:
Open System – communicates the key across the network
Shared Key – devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate
Auto – automatically adjusts to the Authentication mode of the wireless client
Antenna Type: Select Left, Right or both (Diversity) antenna
SSID Broadcast: (Service Set Identifier) Enable or Disable (default) the broadcast
of the SSID name across the network. SSID is a name that identifies a wireless
