Wireless Parameters
These parameters can be changed if needed, but the default advanced setting usually work
well. It is recommended that you keep all these values in factory default.
This screen is shown in (WLAN1) for 802.11a wireless parameters setting and (WLAN2) for
802.11g wireless parameters configuration.
802.11a (5GHz):
Enable Super-A Mode: Enable Super-A may enhance the wireless throughput. The default
setting is Disable.
RTS Threshold: RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node”
problem. If you have more collisions, it is recommended to enable RTS. If you have fewer
collisions, it is not necessary to enable RTS. Forcing the access point to implement the
RTS/CTS handshake will significantly increase the overhead and reduce throughput. If the
size of the packet transmitted is larger than the value you set, the RTS should be enabled.
Fragmentation Length: Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency
when there is high traffic within the wireless network. If you transmit large files in a wireless
network, you can enable the Fragmentation Threshold and specify the packet size. This
specifies the maximum size a data packet will be before splitting and creating a new packet.
The setting range is 256-2346. For example: If you set value as 256, it means the packet will
be fragmented into “256” bytes while transmitting.
Beacon Interval: This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. The beacon
interval is the amount of time between access point beacon transmissions.
