modifications of this value are recommended.
RTS Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The
range is 0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The AP sends
Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station
and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an
RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS)
frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Xmit Power
Control RF transmission power, this value ranges from 1 - 100
percent, default value is 100 percent.
Wireless
Network
Mode
If you have 802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, then
keep the default setting, BG Mixed mode. If you have only
802.11g devices select G Mode. If you would like to limit your
network to only 802.11b devices, then select B Mode.
Transmission Rate
The default setting is
Auto
. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The
rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed
of your wireless network. You can select from a range of
transmission speeds, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have
the AP automatically use the fastest possible data rate and
enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate
the best possible connection speed between the AP and a
wireless client.
Preamble
Values are Long and Short, default value is Long. If your
wireless device supports the short preamble and you are having
trouble getting it to communicate with other 802.11b devices,
make sure that it is set to use the long preamble
SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks
to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the AP.
To broadcast the AP SSID, keep the default setting, Enable. If
you do not want to broadcast the AP SSID, then select Disable.
X-Roaming
Disable:
Disable X-Roaming protocol.
Standard:
Roaming group does not require the same wireless
channel, but is
slower to switch than the “fixed channel” mode
Fixed channel:
Roaming group must be required the same
wireless channel, but is faster
to switch than the “Standard” mode
Signal Threshold for
Roaming
Roaming signal threshold setting. When the signal is below this
value the AP will roam to another client target which the same
SSID, security option and the strongest signal. This value is only
used on client-mode equipment.
Max Client Threshold
This is the maximum number of client for an AP. When this
number is exceeded the AP will reject the roaming connection.
This value is only used on AP-mode equipment.
