Cisco Systems DPC/EPC2325 DOCSIS How Do I Configure My Docsis Residential Gateway?

		How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
	Field Name	Description
	Afterburner	Allows you to enable or disable Afterburner Technology
	Technology
	Rate	Allows you to fix the data rate for wireless connections.
		The following data rates are available:
		Auto (factory default), 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps,
		6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps,
		24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 54 Mbps
		Note: In the automatic mode, data rate is a function of
		signal strength and signal quality.
	Output Power	Allows you to adjust the relative output power of your
		gateway wireless transmitter. The following settings are
		available:
		100% (factory default), 75%, 50%, and 25%
	Beacon Interval	Displays the time interval that the WAP uses to
		announce itself to remote devices. The Beacon Interval
		should be left at 100ms for compliance with most client
		cards. The Beacon Interval specifies how often packets
		are sent by the Access Point (AP) to synchronize a
		wireless network and its clients
	DTIM Interval	Displays the time interval between
		Broadcasts/Multicast transmissions. The DTIM
		(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a
		countdown informing the wireless clients of the next
		window for listening to broadcast and multicast
		messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or
		multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the
		next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP clients hear
		the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
		multicast messages. The DTIM Interval should be left at
		3 ms for compliance with most client cards
	Fragmentation	Allows you to set the fragmentation threshold. This
	Threshold	threshold should be set equivalent to the maximum
		Ethernet frame size allowable on the link including
		overhead (1536 bytes). Lesser settings can damage data
		throughput as large frames could be fragmented or
		collisions could occur. The factory default is 2346
	RTS Threshold	Determines at what packet size beyond which the ready
		to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism is invoked.
		The factory default is 2347
	Short Retry Limit	The number of times the gateway transmits an
		unacknowledged unicast frame that is shorter than the
		RTS threshold before discarding the frame. The factory
		default is 7
