slight adjustment of this value is recommended. If a network packet
is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled. AG10W sends Request to Send
(RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
transmission 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: This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds, indicates the interval of
the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM interval is
a countdown field which is used to inform clients about the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When
AG10W 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.
Default: 3.
Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 65535 milliseconds. The Beacon
Interval indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is
a packet broadcast by AG10W to synchronize the wireless
network. Default: 100.
54g Mode: There are 3 selections. Select 54g Auto for the widest compatibility. Select
54g Performance for the fastest performance. Select 54g LRS if you are
experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.
54g protection: In Auto mode, AG10W will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g
performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b network. Turn off protection
to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.
