User Manual

¾ Beacon Interval: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize
wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Interval value between 25 and 1000. The default value
is set to 100 milliseconds.
¾ DTIM Period: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Period value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1
and 10.
¾ Data rate: You may select a data rate from the drop-down list, however, it is recommended
to select auto. This is also known as auto-fallback.
¾ N Data Rate: You may select N data rate from the drop-down list, however, it is
recommended to select auto.
¾ Channel Bandwidth: Select channel bandwidth.
¾ Preamble Type: Select a short or long preamble. For optimum performance it is
recommended to also configure the client device as the same preamble type.
¾ CTS Protection: CTS (Clear to Send) can be always enabled, auto, or disabled. By enabled
CTS, the Access Point and clients will wait for a ‘clear’ signal before transmitting. It is
recommended to select auto.
