LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Wireless Advanced Setup
RTS/CTS	Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS
Threshold	(Request To Send)/CTS (Clear To Send) handshake.
	Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
Fragmentatio	The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for
n Threshold	directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be
	sent. Enter an even number between 256 and 2346.
	This field is not available when Super Mode is selected.
Beacon	When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a
Interval	beacon 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 NBG-
	417N.
