specifies the maximum packet size before data is
fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high
packet error rate, you may slightly lower the Fragmentation
value. Setting the Fragmentation too low may result in poor
network performance. Only slight adjustment of this value is
recommended.
z
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default
setting of
2347.
The range is 0-2347 bytes. If you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only slight adjustment of this value is
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset
RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be
enabled. HG520 sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiates the transmission
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.
z
DTIM Interval:
This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds,
indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). A DTIM interval is a countdown field which
is used to inform clients about the next window for listening
to broadcast and multicast messages. When HG520 has
buffered broadcast or multicast for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast message. Default:
3

z
Beacon Interval:
Enter a value between 1 and 65535
milliseconds. The Beacon Interval indicates the frequency
