SSID Broadcast-

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsis- tent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, deter- mines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a com- mon technique for detecting data transmission errors) for com- munication between the wireless router and the roaming wire- less network adapters. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.

Choose Enabled to broadcast the SSID across the network. All devices on a network must share the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) to establish communication. Choose Disabled if you do not wish to broadcast the SSID over the network.
