WAP4410N sends multicast and broadcast messages every 1 beacon
interval, if the Beacon Interval field is set with the default of 100ms.
Lower settings result in more efficient networking, while preventing your
computer from dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings
allow your computer to enter the sleep mode, thus saving power, but
interferes with wireless transmissions.
• RTS Threshold—Enter an RTS threshold (1–2347).
This setting determines how large a packet can be before the access point
coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
• Fragmentation Threshold—Enter the preferred setting between 256 and
2346. We recommend not using fragmentation unless you suspect radio
interference. The additional headers applied to each fragment increase the
overhead on the network and can greatly reduce throughput. The default
and recommended value is 2346.
STEP 3 In the Load Balancing section, configure the following advanced parameters for
this access point:
• Load Balancing—Enable this feature to spread work between two or more
access points to get optimal resource utilization, throughput, or response
time.
• Utilization Threshold—Enter the desired utilization value for the SSID.
• Current Utilization—Displays the current CPU utilization.
