Select

Short

or

Long Preamble.

The Preamble defines the length of the CRC

block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data

transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the

roaming wireless network adapters.

Note: High network traffic areas should

use the shorter preamble type.

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless

network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsistent data flow

is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether

packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be

fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message)

3

is the default setting. A DTIM is a

countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and

multicast messages.

Displayed in this window are the Wireless Performance features for the Access

Point portion of the DI-624S.

Choose

Enabled

to broadcast the SSID across the network. All devices on

a network must share the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) to establish

communication. Choose

Disabled

if you do not wish to broadcast the SSID

over the network.

Auto

is the default selection. Select from the drop down menu.

Select

Super G Mode:

Super G is a group of performance enhancement features that increase end user

application throughput in an 802.11g network. Super G is backwards compatible

to standard 802.11g devices. For top performance, all wirelss devices on the

network should be Super G capable. Select either Disabled, Super G without

Turbo, or Super G with Dynamic Turbo.

Disabled:

Standard 802.11g support, no enhanced capabilities.

Super G

without Turbo:

Capable of Packet Bursting, FastFrames, Compression, and

no Turbo mode.

Super G with

DynamiC Turbo:

Capable of Packet Bursting, FastFrames, Compression, and

Dynamic Turbo. This setting is backwards compatible with

non-Turbo (legacy) devices. Dynamic Turbo mode is only

enabled when all nodes on the wireless network are Super

G with Dynamic Turbo enabled.
