FieldDescription

Operating Mode Sets how the SBG900 communicates with wireless clients (stations):

•11b/11g Standard — Enables all IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g clients to work with the SBG900. We recommend using this default setting in most cases because it is more flexible.

•11g Enhanced — Choose this option only if all IEEE 802.11g client adapters on the network support the performance-enhancing features of the IEEE 11g Enhanced mode. It is not supported by all IEEE 802.11g adapters.

ADVANCED SETUP

Transmit Power Sets the SBG900 wireless transmission power — 3, 6, 12, 25, 50, 75, or 100%. The default is

100%. You can turn down the Transmit Power to:

•Decrease “leakage” into outside areas such as the street

•Improve performance if you usually position your computer or laptop close to your SBG900 Transmission power control is an optional IEEE 802.11 feature.

RTS Threshold	The Request To Send Threshold sets the minimum packet size for which the SBG900 issues
	an RTS before sending a packet. A low RTS Threshold can help when many clients are
	associated with the SBG900 or the clients are far apart and can detect the SBG900 but not
	each other. It can be 0 to 2347 bytes. The default is 2347.
Fragmentation	Sets the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several packets instead of as one
Threshold	packet). A low Fragmentation Threshold can help when communication is poor or there is a
	significant interference. It can be 256 to 2346 bytes. The default is 2346.
Beacon Period	Sets the time between beacon frames sent by the SBG900 for wireless network
	synchronization. It can be from 1 to 999 ms. The default is 100 ms.
DTIM Period	The delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) period is the number of Beacon Periods that
	elapse before a wireless client operating in power save mode “listens” for buffered broadcast
	or multicast messages from the SBG900. It can be from 1 to 99999. The default is 3.
