USING THE WINDOWS XP CONFIGURATION TOOL
1.Click Configure. Click the “Advanced” tab.
2.Set the “Fragmentation Threshold” (the default 2,346 means “Disabled”). See “Terminology” on page 46 for a description of “Fragmentation Threshold.”
3.“Preamble Type” offers a dropdown list with three options: Auto, Long, or Short. See “Terminology” on page 46 for an explanation of “Preamble Type.”
If you aren't sure whether all the Clients and Access point radios in your wireless network support the Short RF preamble, then leave this setting on “Auto” (Default).
4.“Rate (Mbps)” is the data transmission/reception rate setting. It can be set to Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps. Usually this should be set to Auto. In a radio frequency hostile environment, a lower rate can provide more stable transmission quality.
5.Set the “RTS Threshold” to the same as that used by other devices in your network (the default 2,347 means “Disabled”). See “Terminology” on page 46 for a description of “RTS Threshold.”
