Chapter 8 Wireless Configuration
Table 26 Wireless: MBSSID
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Fragmentation | The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for |
Threshold | directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can |
| be sent. Enter an even number between 256 and 2346. |
|
|
Beacon Interval | When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes |
| with it a 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 |
| waking up to handle the beacon. This value can be set from 30ms 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. |
|
|
Output Power | Set the output power of the NWA in this field. If there is a high |
| density of APs in an area, decrease the output power to reduce |
| interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%(Full |
| Power), 50%, 25%, 12.5% or Minimum. See the product |
| specifications for more information on your NWA’s output power. |
| Note: Reducing the output power also reduces the NWA’s |
| effective broadcast radius. |
|
|
Rates Configuration | This section controls the data rates permitted for clients. |
| For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The |
| options are: |
| • Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the |
| access point at this speed. |
| • Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, |
| when permitted to do so by the AP. |
| • Disabled: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this |
| speed. |
|
|
Select SSID Profile | An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the |
| NWA’s BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the |
| Service Set with which a wireless station is associated. Wireless |
| stations associating with the access point (AP) must have the same |
| SSID. |
| Note: If you are configuring the NWA from a computer |
| connected to the wireless LAN and you change the |
| NWA’s SSID or security settings, you will lose your |
| wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. |
| You must then change the wireless settings of your |
| computer to match the NWA’s new settings. |
|
|
Index | Select the check box to activate an SSID profile. |
|
|
Active | Select the check box to enable the bridge connection. Otherwise, |
| clear the check box to disable it. |
