B Only Mode

: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the unit, 

but 802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates (up to 
11 Mbps).

• Channel ID – 

The radio channel used by the unit and its clients to communicate 

with each other. This channel must be the same on the unit and all of its wireless 
clients. The available channel settings are limited by local regulations. (Default: 6; 
Range: 1-14)

Note:

If you experience poor performance, you may be encountering interference from 
another wireless device. Try changing the channel, as this may eliminate 
interference and increase performance. Channels 1, 6, and 11, as the three 
non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz range, are preferred. (Default; Auto)

• Tx Preamble Type – 

IEEE 802.11 frames begin with an alternating pattern of 1s 

and 0s called the preamble, which tells receiving stations that a frame is arriving. 
This provides time for the receiving station to synchronize to the incoming data 
stream. This parameter sets the length of the signal preamble that is used at the 
start of a data transmission. Using a short preamble (96 microseconds) instead of 
a long preamble (192 microseconds) can increase data throughput on the unit, but 
requires that all clients can support a short preamble. (Default: Long Preamble)

-

Short Preamble:

 Sets the preamble to short for increased througput. 

-

Long Preamble:

 Sets the preamble to long. Using a long preamble ensures the 

unit can support all 802.11b and 802.11g clients.

-

Auto:

 Sets the preamble according to the capability of clients that are currently 

asscociated. Uses a short preamble if all associated clients can support it, 
otherwise a long preamble is used.

• Beacon Interval (20~1000) – 

Sets the interval at which Beacon frames are 

transmitted from the unit. The Beacon Interval unit is measured in TU, which 
corresponds to 1024 microseconds. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to 
maintain contact with the unit. They may also carry power-management 
information. (Range: 20-1000 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)

• RTS Threshold (0~2347) – 

Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to 

Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending the data 
frame. The unit sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending 
of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station sends a CTS (clear to 
send) frame to notify the unit that it can start sending data. If the RTS threshold is 
set to 0, the unit always sends RTS signals. If set to 2347, the unit never sends 
RTS signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or exceeds the 
RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) mechanism will be 
enabled. Units contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. The 
RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” (Range: 0-2347 
bytes: Default: 2347 bytes)

• Fragmentation Threshold (0~2347) – 

Configures the minimum packet size that 

can be fragmented when passing through the unit. Fragmentation of the PDUs 
(Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it 
increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If 
there is significant interference present, or collisions due to high network utilization,
