exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into,
smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other hand, packets
smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not
fragmented.
RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet
size beyond which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism.
Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the
RTS/CTS mechanism.
DTIM: Specifies the Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) period.
This value determines at which interval the AP will send its
broadcast traffic. The default value is 3.
Beacon Interval: Defines the periodic interval at which the Access
Point sends out a beacon.
54gTM Mode: This item allows you to choose from these
communication options:
• 54g Auto: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can
communicate with this AP. The data rate will be
automatically adjusted.
• 54g Performance: Only 802.11g wirless clients can
communicate with the AP.
• 54g LRS: LRS stands for Limited Rate Support. This option
is intended to support legacy clients (802.11b). Select this
option if wireless clients are experiencing difficulties to
associate with the AP. This option supports both 802.11g
and 802.11b clients.
• 802.11b Only: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can
communicate with this AP. The data rate will be
automatically adjusted to the one supported by the 802.11b
standard.
54g Protection: Select Off or Auto. The default value is set to Off.
When set to Auto, a protection mechanism will ensure that 802.11b
wireless devices will connect to the Access Point when many
802.11g wireless devices are present. However, performance of
your 802.11g wireless devices may be decreased.
Enable Xpress ™ Technology: Select Off or Auto. When set to
Auto, it increases the bandwidth availability that enables more
