4-2 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
In the Advanced Configuration menu you may:
Antenna Configuration
Transmit – You may select “Antenna 1”, “Antenna 2” or “Both” if you would like to have both
antenna to perform the same function.
Receive - You may select “Antenna 1”, “Antenna 2” or “Both” if you would like to have both
antenna to perform the same function.
Retry Limits
Short Retries – By default it is set to “7” will be the best number to retry to minimize the network
overhead.
Long Retries – By default it is set to “ 4” to maximize the network data throughput.
Transmit Power – Select “Automatic” for the device to adjust its Transmit Power or “Power
Level 1” to have power gain on the Transmit Power.
Authentication Method - It can be selected for “Open Authentication” or “Shared Key
Authentication” for the indication of an authentication algorithm. “Shared Key” is to be selected
while the WEP for PC card and Access Point are both enabled and setup with the same
passphrase key. And “Open System” is for disabled WEP in Wireless Network system.
Thresholds -
Fragmentation Threshold: The value indicates how much of the network resources devoted to
recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346 bytes. If you have
decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again, but will
likely decrease overall network performance.
RTS Threshold: The value should remain on its default setting 2347 bytes. If you encounter any
date flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Preamble Type: There is the “Long” or “Short” selection to ensure that systems receiving the
information correctly interpret when the data transmission starts. To select “long” Preamble may be
used to minimize overhead and “Long” to maximize the network data throughput. The default value
will be set for “Long”.
