Table 4-3Wireless Station configuration parameters

Item

Description

 

 

Wireless Mode

Select from 802.11b/g (the default) or 802.11b/g/n.

 

 

Guard Interval

Select whether to automatically set the guard interval (Auto), or to use a Long (800 ns)

 

or Short (400 ns) interval. Guard interval is the space between transmitted symbols

 

(characters). Can eliminate inter-symbol interference (ISI), which occurs when echoes or

 

reflections from one symbol interfere with another. A long interval can reduce echoes,

 

but decrease the data rate. A short interval can increase the data rate by approximately

 

10 percent.

 

NOTE: This parameter only displays when Wireless Mode is set to 802.11b/g/n.

 

 

Enable AMSDU Aggregation

Select whether to enable aggregation of MAC service data units. Aggregating 802.11

 

MAC service data units packs them into frames to reduce overhead and increase the

 

data rate. Enabling aggregation allows a maximum frame size of 7935 bytes.

 

NOTE: This parameter is only displayed when the 802.11b/g/n Wireless Mode is

 

selected.

 

 

Enable AMPDU Aggregation

Aggregating 802.11 MAC protocol data units packs them into frames to reduce

 

overhead and increase the data rate. Enabling aggregation allows a maximum frame

 

size of 64k bytes.

 

NOTE: This parameter is only displayed when the 802.11b/g/n Wireless Mode is

 

selected.

 

 

Enable Block ACKs

Select whether to enable acknowledgment of multiple AMPDUs, which allows each of

 

the aggregated data frames to be individually acknowledged or retransmitted if affected

 

by an error.

 

NOTE: This parameter is only displayed when the 802.11b/g/n Wireless Mode is

 

selected.

 

This parameter is automatically selected when Enable AMPDU Aggregation is

 

selected.

 

 

Wireless Wizard

Launch the wireless configuration wizard, which guides you through the required 802.11

 

wireless configuration parameters and, depending on your choices, bypasses

 

unnecessary parameters. Because the individual Wireless configuration parameters are

 

documented in this table, the Wireless Wizard is not discussed.

 

NOTE: If you improperly exit the wizard, for example by failing to use the Cancel

 

button, an Operation Failed screen might appear. If so, wait approximately two minutes

 

before restarting the wizard.

 

 

Wireless Radio

Click the Enable Wireless Radio button to enable the wireless radio. Click the Disable

 

Wireless Radio button to disable it.

 

NOTE: The HP Jetdirect print server cannot operate in wireless mode when the radio

 

is disabled.
