The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to

 

transmit the data packets.

 

 

Preamble Type

Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the

 

wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic wireless

 

network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable communication.

 

 

Broadcast ESSID

If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the

 

coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are

 

building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended.

 

Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.

 

 

IAPP

If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically broadcast

 

information of associated wireless stations to its neighbors. This will help

 

wireless station roaming smoothly between access points. Disabling “IAPP”

 

can provide better security.

 

 

802.11g Protection

This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to enable the

 

protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data

 

collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the

 

protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due

 

to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.

 

 

After configuration complete, please click “Apply” button to save the configuration. Then you will see a screen to prompt you the settings are save successfully. You may press “Continue” for configure other settings or “Apply” to restart WAP-4035 with new configuration.
