The DWL-2000AP will automatically sense the best possible speed when you select Auto (the default setting), or you can choose the data transfer rate: 54Mbps,48Mbps, 36Mbps, 24Mbps, 18Mbps, 12Mbps, 11Mbps, 9Mbps,6Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 2Mbps, 1Mbps.

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 inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines 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. 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 for communication between the wireless access point and the roaming wireless network adapters. (Cyclic Redun- dancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors.) Long is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.

Open System - communicates the key across the network Shared Key - devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate
