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.
(Note: You could modify Beacon Interval, RTS Threshold, Fragmentation,
and DTIM Interval to fine-tune your wireless network, however, this takes
many trial and error and we recommend keeping them in their default
values.)
Authentication Type:
Open System: communicates the key across the network
Shared Key: devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate
Both automatically adjusts to the Authentication mode of the wireless client
All wireless devices must have the same Authentication Type. The default
setting is Both.
Preamble: The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for
communication between the Access Point and roaming Network Card.
Please select the appropriate preamble type and click the Apply button to
save the settings. (Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter
preamble type. All wireless devices in the same network need to have the
same preamble setting.)
Basic Rate and Supported Rate: Select the desire bandwidth for the
wireless device. The Basic Rate is for factory trouble shooting purpose and
it will not affect the device's performance. Supported Rate is the true
bandwidth of the device. When the wireless signal is strong, set it at 1-2-
5.11-22(Mbps) to have the highest performance. When the signal is weak,
select 1-2(Mbps) to reduce transmission error.
Antenna Selection: Select which antenna you will use to receive data. The
default setting is Diversity (uses both antennas to receive data which help
overcome multi-path distortion).
