redundant network overhead that c ould negatively affect the
throughput perfor mance instead of providing a remedy. This value
should remain at its default setting of 2346. Should you encounter
inconsistent data ow, only minor modic ations of this value are
recommended.
• Beacon interval: This is t he time between beacon transmissions.
Before a station enters Power Save mode, the stat ion needs the
beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and
learn whether there are buf fered frames at the access point).
• inactivity Time: The defaul t setting is 30,000 ms.
• data rate: By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible
rate for transmission. Select t he basic rates to be used among the
following options: “Auto,” “1,” “2,” “5.5,” “11” or “54 Mbps.” For most
networks, the default setting is “Auto,” which is the best choice. When
set to “Auto,” the transmission rate will select the optimal rate. If
obstacles or interfe rence is present, the system will automatically
fall back to a lower rate.
• preamble Type: A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment
to synchronize the transmitting timing, including Synchronization and
Start frame delimite r. NOTE: If you want to change Preamble Type
to “Long” or “Shor t,” check the setting of the access point.
• Broadcast SSid: With “Enabl ed” selected, this wireless access
point will broadcast its SSI D to stations; when set to “Disabled,” it
won’t. If stations want to connect to this wireless AP, its SSID should
be known in advance to make a connect ion.
