PROTECTED SETUP

The

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

is the industry standard method to simplify

the security setup and management of he Wi-Fi networks. It is possible to setup

WIRELESS >> WDS

The

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

provides a mean to extend the

range of a

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN

). WDS allows an Access Point

(AP) to establish a direct link to other APs and to allow stations to roam freely

within the area covered by the WDS (see

Figure 9).

Rescan

Click this to refresh the list of available access point

Available access points will then show up on the AP

MAC Address Table

; check

the related box to add that particular access point to the WDS.

WIRELESS >> ADVANCED

SETTING

Five additional parameters can be configured under Wireless function. For best

performances of your wireless network, we suggest to leave the values of this

screen at the default settings (see

Figure 10).

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

Beacon Interval

This represents the amount of time between beacon transmis-

sions. Before a station enters power safe mode, the station

needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive

the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the

access point)

TABLE 6.

Parameters in Advanced Setting panel

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

DTIM Interval

Delivery Traffic Indication Message, indicates when DTIM oc-

curs. A DTIM interval is a count of the number of beacon frames

that must occur before the access point sends the buffered mul-

ticast frames. For example, a DTIM interval of one means that

the multicast are sent after each beacon frame. A DTIM interval

of two indicates that multicast frames are sent after every two

beacon frames, and so on. Because each beacon frame in-

cludes a field that identifies the DTIM interval, all stations know

when to wake up and receive

multicast frames if they are im-

plementing power saving

Fragmentation Threshold

This is the maximum size for directed data packets transmitted.

Larger frames fragment into several packets this size or smaller

before transmission. The receiving station then reassembles the

transmitted fragments.

RTS Threshold

(Request to Send)

This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF

protocol issues to an RTS packet. Using a small value causes

RTS packets to be sent more often consuming more of the

available bandwidth m therefore reducing the apparent through-

put of the network packet. However, the more RTS packets that

are sent, the quicker the system can recover from interference

or collision

WMM Mode

Wireless Multimedia

support. WMM prioritizes traffic according

to 4 AC (Access Categories) – voice, video, best effort and

background. However, it does not provide guaranteed through-

put. It is suitable for simple application that require QoS.
