4-24 Chapter 4: Configuration
Professional
This section allows you to set up
additional parameters for the wireless
router function. We recommend that
you use the default values for all
items in this window.
Set AP Isolated - Selecting “Yes” to prevent wireless client from communicating
with each other.
Multicast Rate (Mbps) - This field allows you to specify the transmission rate.
Leave on “Auto” to maximize performance versus distance.
Basic Rate Set - This field indicates the basic rates that wireless clients must
support. Use “1 & 2 Mbps” only when backward compatibility is needed for some
older wireless LAN cards with a maximum bit rate of 2Mbps.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346) – Fragmentation is used to divide
802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the
destination. Set a specific packet size threshold to enable fragmentation. If there
is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different
fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default
value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
RTS Threshold (0-2347) – The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When
RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until another
RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Set a specific packet size threshold to enable
RTS/CTS. The default value (2347) is recommended.
DTIM Interval (1-255) – DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a wireless
message used to inform clients in Power Saving Mode when the system should
wake up to receive broadcast and multicast messages. Type the time interval in
which the system will broadcast a DTIM for clients in Power Saving Mode. The
default value (3) is recommended
Beacon Interval (1-65535) – This field indicates the time interval in milliseconds
that a system broadcast packet, or beacon, is sent to synchronize the wireless
network. The default value (100 milliseconds) is recommended.
