DESCRIPTION

54gTM Mode

Select 54g Auto to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant

 

WLAN devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device

 

adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the wireless

 

standard supported by the wireless devices.

 

Select 54g Performance to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN

 

devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device.

 

Select 802.11b Only to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g

 

compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. In this mode,

 

all wireless devices can only transmit at the data rates supported by IEEE

 

802.11b.

 

 

54gTM

Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks

Protection

(networks with both IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).

 

Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS

 

handshake. This helps improve IEEE 802.11g performance.

 

Select Off to disable 54g protection. The transmission rate of your ZyXEL

 

Device might be reduced in a mixed-mode network.

 

This field displays Off and is not configurable when you set 54gTM Mode

 

to 802.11b Only.

 

 

Preamble

Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long

 

or Short. The default setting is Long. See the appendix for more

 

information.

 

This field displays Short and is not configurable when you set 54gTM

 

Mode to 54g Performance.

 

 

Apply
