LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These

are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DWL-G730AP. These settings may be

referred to as private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN

IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.

Subnet Mask-

The subnet mask of the LAN interface.

The default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

Beacon Interval:

RTS Threshold

Fragmentation:

This

value should remain at its

default setting of 2346. If

you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your fragmentation

threshold within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting the fragmentation threshold

too low may result in poor performance.

DTIM Interval

:

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and

255

(default is 3) for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a

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

messages.

TX Rates:

Select the transmission rate for the network. The default setting is Auto.

Preamble Type:

Short Preamble

is the default setting. (High traffic networks should

use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of the CRC block

(Cyclic

Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) used

in communication between the access point and the wireless network adapters.
