Multicast Rate
This is the transmission speed used when the Modem Router transmits to
multiple clients at the same time. Multicasting is common in applications that
involve audio and/or video streams. The default setting, Auto, usually gives
the best results, but a xed, high rate may be preferable in some environ-
ments.
Frame Bursting
Choose the Frame Bursting mode. You can select “125* High Speed
Mode”.”Frame Bursting” or “Disable”. Frame Bursting is a technology that im-
proves the transmission rate by sending frames seamlessly.125* High Speed
Mode is an advanced frame bursting mode with even higher throughput. To
function at their highest speeds, both of these technologies require clients
that support and are set up to use the same mode.125* High Speed Mode is
recommended. Default setting is “Disable”.
802.11g Protection
The default setting of Auto for this control helps to preserve the performance
of 802.11g clients in an environment of mixed 802.11 client types. The O
setting is recommended only for an 802.11g-only environment.
DTIM Period
To coordinate the network, the Modem Router sends out “beacon frames,”
normally one every tenth of a second. A beacon frame can include a Delivery
Trac Indication Message (DTIM). Clients in power-saving mode deactivate
their receivers except to receive beacon frames containing DTIMs, which
tell them if there is data for them to receive. The default DTIM period is 1,
meaning that every beacon frame contains a DTIM; a setting of 2 puts a DTIM
into every other beacon frame, and so on. Setting DTIM higher helps clients
conserve power but can reduce throughput.
