*This value should remain at its default
setting of 2347. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications of this value are recommended.
Beacon Interval Beacon Interval is the amount of time
between beacon transmissions. Before a
station enters power saving mode, the station
needs the beacon interval to know when to
wake up to receive the beacon (and learn
whether there are buffered frames for it at the
access point).
Data Rate By default, the AirLink101 Music Bridge
adaptively selects the highest possible rate
for transmission. Select the basic rates to be
used among the following options: Auto, 1, 2,
5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the
default setting is Auto, which is usually the
best choice. If obstacles or interference are
present in Auto mode, the system will
automatically fall back to a lower rate.
Preamble Type A preamble is a signal used in a wireless
environment to synchronize the transmission
timing, including start and synchronization
frame delimiters. In a "noisy" environment,
the Preamble Type should be set to Long
Preamble. The Short Preamble type is
intended for applications where minimum
overhead and maximum performance are
desired. If in a "noisy" network environment,
the performance will be decreased.
Broadcast SSID Enable this to allow all the wireless stations to
detect the SSID of this Access Point.
IAPP IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) is
designed for the enforcement of a unique
association throughout a ESS (Extended
Service Set). It also provides a secure
exchange of a station’s security context
between the current access point (AP) and
the new AP during the handoff period.
802.11g Protection
The 802.11g standard includes a protection
mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and
802.11g operation. If this mechanism isn’t
enabled, devices using the two standards
may interfere with each other and decrease
