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 saving mode, the station

 

needs the beacon interval to know when to

 

wake up to receive the beacon (and learn

 

whether there are buffered frames for it at the

 

access point).

Data Rate

By default, the AirLink101 Music Bridge

 

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 usually the

 

best choice. If obstacles or interference are

 

present in Auto mode, the system will

 

automatically fall back to a lower rate.

Preamble Type

A preamble is a signal used in a wireless

 

environment to synchronize the transmission

 

timing, including start and synchronization

 

frame delimiters. In a "noisy" environment,

 

the Preamble Type should be set to Long

 

Preamble. The Short Preamble type is

 

intended for applications where minimum

 

overhead and maximum performance are

 

desired. If in a "noisy" network environment,

 

the performance will be decreased.

Broadcast SSID

Enable this to allow all the wireless stations to

 

detect the SSID of this Access Point.

IAPP

IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) is

 

designed for the enforcement of a unique

 

association throughout a ESS (Extended

 

Service Set). It also provides a secure

 

exchange of a station’s security context

 

between the current access point (AP) and

 

the new AP during the handoff period.

802.11g Protection

The 802.11g standard includes a protection

 

mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and

 

802.11g operation. If this mechanism isn’t

 

enabled, devices using the two standards

 

may interfere with each other and decrease
