fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will
result in bad performance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the access point will
not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is
used to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point uses to transmit data packets.
The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to
transmit the data packets.
Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the
wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic wireless
network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable communication.
Broadcast ESSID If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the
coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are
building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended.
Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.
IAPP If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically broadcast
information of associated wireless stations to its neighbors. This will help
wireless station roaming smoothly between access points. If you have more
than one access points in your wireless LAN and wireless stations have
roaming requirements, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling
“IAPP” can provide better security.
802.11g Protection This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to enable the
protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data
collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the
protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due
to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
After configuration complete, please click “Apply” button to save the configuration. Then you will
see a screen to prompt you the settings are save successfully. You may press “Continue” for
configure other settings or “Apply” to restart WAP-4033PE with new configuration.
3.4 Security
This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, includes WEP, 802.1x,
802.1x with WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent
your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same
security function. In default, the security function is “Disable”.
Note: This access point can act as station and AP at the same time in “Universal Repeater
