D-Link DIR-600L User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration

Set the transmit power of the antennas.

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

2346

. 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)

1

is the default setting. A DTIM

is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening

to broadcast and multicast messages.

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.

Auto is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.

CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN). CTS will make

sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will add overhead and may lower

wireless through put.

None:

CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment. If CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment

populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently.

Always:

CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN

is clear before sending data.

Auto:

CTS will monitor the wireless network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based

on the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on the wireless network.

Select one of the following:

Mixed.802±11g.and.802±11b

- Select if you are using both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients.

802±11n.Only.

- Select only if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n.

Mixed.802±11n,.802±11b,.and.802±11g

- Select if you are using a mix of 802.11n, 11g, and 11b wireless clients.

Auto.20/40

- Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.

20MHz

- Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients. This is the default setting.

Check to enable Space Time Block Coding (STBC). This will increase your wireless coverage.

Check to allow 20MHz and 40MHz to coexist.

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may

create higher data loss.

Section 3 - Configuration

Check this box to enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP

™

).

UPnP provides compatibility with networking equipment,

software and peripherals.

Check this box to allow the WAN port to be “Pinged”.

Disabling ping responses may provide some extra security

from hackers.

You may set the port speed of the WAN port to

10Mbps

,

100Mbps

, or

10/100Mbps Auto

. Some older cable or DSL

modems may require you to set the port speed to 10Mbps.

Check the box to allow multicast traffic to pass through

the router from the Internet.

Check to enable wireless enhance mode to increase data

throughput. Enabling this will cause the router to use more

processing and may cause your LAN speeds to decrease.

Enter a new Login Name for the Administrator account.

Enter a new password for the Administrator Login Name

and then retype the new password in the Confirm Password

textbox. The administrator can make changes to the settings.

Remote management allows the DIR-600L to be configured

from the Internet by a web browser. A username and

password is still required to access the Web-Management

interface. In general, only a member of your network can

browse the built-in web pages to perform Administrator tasks.

This feature enables you to perform Administrator tasks from

the remote (Internet) host.

The Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the

Broadband Router. If you input an asterisk (*) into this field,

then any computer will be able to access the Router. Putting

an asterisk (*) into this field would present a security risk and

is not recommended.

The port number used to access the DIR-600L. For example:

http://x.x.x.x:8080 whereas x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the

DIR-600L and

8080

is the port used for the Web-Management

interface.
