Rate:
The default setting is
Auto
. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of
data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless
network. You can select from one transmission speed, or keep the default
setting, Auto, to have the IAD automatically use the fastest possible data rate.
Multicast Rate:
The default setting is
54Mbps
. The range is from 1 to
54Mbps. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of
your wireless network. You can select from one transmission speed, or keep
the default setting, to have the IAD automatically use the fastest data rate for
multicast packets.
Basic Rate:
Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support.
Fragmentation Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of
2346. The range is 256~2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a packet
before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high
packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold.
Setting this value too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
modifications of this value are recommended.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of
2347
. The
range is 0~2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only
minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the
packet RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The
IAD sends Request of Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiates the sending 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.
DTIM Interval:
The default value is
3
. This value, between 1 and 255
milliseconds, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the router 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.
Beacon Interval:
The default value is
100
. Enter a value between 1 and 65535
milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the
beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router to synchronize the
wireless network.
