Chapter 2: WEB Configuration

Set the period of beacon transmissions to allow mobile stations to locate and identify a BSS. The measure unit is “time units” (TU) of 1024 microseconds. (Value range: 1~65535)

DTIM Interval:

The value you set here is used to inform mobile stations when multicast frames that have been buffered at the Wireless Voice Gateway will be delivered and how often that delivery occurs. (Value range: 1~255)

Fragmentation Threshold:

Set the number of the fragmenting frames to make the data to be delivered without errors induced by the interference. Frames longer than the value you set here are fragmented before the initial transmission into fragments no longer than the value of the threshold. (Value range: 256~ 2346)

RTS Threshold:

Set the value for sending a request to the destination. All the frames of a length greater than the threshold that you set here will be sent with the four-way frame exchange. And, a length less than or equal to the value that you set will not be proceeded by RTS. (Value range: 0~ 2347)

54gTM Network Mode:

There are three modes for you to choose, please check the specification of your wireless card and choose a proper setting.

54gTM Protection:

Select Auto to turn on the 54gTM protection; select Off to turn down the protection.

XpressTM Technology:

When Xpress is turned on, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 27% in 802.11g-only networks, and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b standard equipment.

Rate:

It decides the speed of data transmission. There are several rates provided here for you to choose. Choose any one of it according to your needs by using the drop-down menu.

Output Power:

To reduce the output power.
