• Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM Period)
Enter a value between 1 and 255 that specifies the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). Increasing this interval allows the station to
sleep for longer periods of time resulting in power savings (in exchange
for some degradation in performance). The default value is 1.
• Fragment Length
Enter a value between 256 and 2346. This setting determines the size of
the wireless frame. Wireless frames are reassembled by your Access/One
Network wireless modules before being forwarded to the Ethernet port,
but only if the frame is smaller than the Ethernet MTU (1536 bytes). The
default value is 2346.
• RTS/CTS Threshold
This is a value that determines at what frame length the RTS-CTS function
is triggered. By default, the threshold is set at its highest value. A lower
value means that the RTS-CTS function is triggered for smaller frame
lengths. A lower threshold value may be necessary in environments with
excessive signal noise or hidden nodes, but may result in some
performance degradation. Enter a value between 256 and 2346 to specify
the RTS/CTS threshold. The default value is 2346.
