|
| Fragmentation | The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed |
|
| Threshold | messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter an even |
|
|
| number between 256 and 2346. |

|
|
| Beacon | When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon |
|
| Interval | interval. This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. |
|
|
| The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low- |
|
|
| power mode before waking up to handle the beacon. This value can be set from |
|
|
| 20ms to 1000ms. A high value helps save current consumption of the access point. |
|
|
|
|
|
| DTIM | Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast |
|
|
| and multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power |
|
|
| Management mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity with |
|
|
| the network. This value can be set from 1 to 100. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Preamble | A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble |
|
|
| modes: long and short. If a device uses a different preamble mode than the NBG- |
|
|
| 417N does, it cannot communicate with the |

| 417N with a notebook computer, select a lower transmission power level when you |
|

|
| BSS Traffic | or between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point |
