4. To configure the advanced wireless settings for the 2.4 GHz band, select Configuration >

Wireless > Advanced > Wireless Settings > 802.11b/bg/ng.

5. To change the default settings, enter the appropriate information in the following fields:

• RTS Threshold (0–2347). Request

to Send threshold. The packet size that is used to

determine if the station should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with

Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple

Access/Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet transmission.

- With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the

transmitting station sends out

the actual packet until the silence period ends.

- With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, th

e transmitting station sends out

an RTS packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to send

back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data.

The default is 2347.

• F

ragmentation Length (256–2346). This is the maximum packet size. Packets larger

than

the size specified in this field are fragmented. The Fragmentation Length value

must be larger than the RTS Threshold value. The default is 2346.

• Beacon Interval (100–1000). The time interval b

etween 100 ms and 1000 ms for

each beacon transmission, which allows the access point to synchronize the wireless

network. The default is 100.

• Aggregation Length (102

4 – 65535). The aggregation length defines the size of

aggregated packets. Larger aggregation lengths can sometimes lead to better

network performance. The default is 65535.

• AMPD

U. Aggregated MAC Protocol data unit. Aggregates several MAC frames into a

single large fra

me to achieve higher throughput. The default is enabled.

• RIFS Transmission. R

educed interframe space. RIFS transmissions are shorter than

other interframe spaces, and if this feature is enabled, the access point allows

transmission of successive frames at different transmit powers. The default is

disabled.

• DTIM Interval (1-255). The d

elivery traffic indication message. Specifies the data

beacon rate between 1 and 255. The default is 3.
