|
|
| data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will respond |
|
|
| with a CTS message to all station within its range to |
|
|
| notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will |
|
|
| also confirm the requestor station that the Access |
|
|
| Point has reserved it for the |
|
|
| requested transmission. |
|
|
| If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please |
|
|
| specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be |
|
|
| activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.. |
|
|
| The default value is 2347. |
|
|
| Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause |
|
|
| redundant network overhead that could negatively |
|
|
| affect the throughput performance instead of |
|
|
| providing a remedy. |
|
|
| 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 |
|
|
| save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to |
|
|
| know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and |
|
|
| learn whether there are buffered frames at the |
|
|
| access point). |
|
| Data Rate | By default, the unit 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 the best choice. When Auto |
|
|
| is enabled the transmission rate will select the |
|
|
| optimal rate. If obstacles or interference are present, |
|
|
| the system will automatically fall back to a lower rate. |
|
| Preamble Type | A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment |
|
|
| to synchronize the transmitting timing including |
|
|
| Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a |
|
|
| "noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type |
|
|
| should be set to Long Preamble. The Short |
|
|
| Preamble is intended for applications where |
|
|
| minimum overhead and maximum performance is |
|
|
| desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, the |
|
|
| performance will be decreased. |
|
| Broadcast SSID | Select enabled to allow all the wireless stations to |
|
|
| detect the SSID of this Access Point. |
