Help - Advanced Wireless (2.4GHz) |
Basic Rate | The Basic Rate is used for broadcasting. It does not determine the
data transmission rate, which is determined by the "Mode" setting on
the Basic screen. Select the desired option. Do NOT select the "802.11g" or "ODFM" options unless ALL of your wireless clients support this. 802.11b clients will not be able to connect to the Access Point if either of these modes is selected. |
Wireless Separation | If enabled, then each Wireless station using the Access Point is invisible to other Wireless stations. In most business stations, this setting should be Disabled. |
Worldwide Mode (802.11d) | Enable this setting if you wish to use this mode, and your Wireless stations support this mode. |
XR (eXtended Range) | Enable this setting if you wish to use this mode, and your Wireless stations support this mode. |
Enable WMM Support | Check this to enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) support in the Access Point. If WMM is also supported by your wireless clients, voice and multimedia traffic will be given a higher priority than other traffic. |
No Acknowledgement | If enabled, then WMM acknowledgement is disabled. Depending on the environment, disabling acknowledgement may increase throughput slightly. |
Disassociated Timeout | This determines how quickly a Wireless Station will be considered "Disassociated" with this AP, when no traffic is received. Enter the desired time period. |
Fragmentation | Enter the preferred setting between 256 and 2346. Normally, this can be left at the default value. |
Beacon Interval | Enter the preferred setting between 20 and 1000. Normally, this can be left at the default value. |
RTS/CTS Threshold | Enter the preferred setting between 256 and 2346. Normally, this can be left at the default value. |
Preamble Type | Select the desired option. The default is "Long". The "Short" setting takes less time when used in a good environment. |
Output Power Level | Select the desired power output. Higher levels will give a greater range, but are also more likely to cause interference with other devices. |
Antenna Selection | If your Access Point has only 1 antenna, there is only 1 option available. If your Access Point has 2 antennae, select the option which gives the best results in your location. |
Protection Type | Select the desired option. The default is CTS-only. |
Short Slot Time | Enable or disable this setting as required. The default is Enabled. |
Protection Mode | The Protection system is intended to prevent older 802.11b devices from interfering with 802.11g transmissions. (Older 802.11b devices may not be able to detect that a 802.11g transmission is in progress.) Normally, this should be left at "Auto". |
Protection Rate | Select the desired option. The default is 11 Mbps. |
