User's Manual

Not applicable for WLAN 2.

MTU Size

Maximum Transmission Unit, the default MTU size is 1500. The MTU setting controls the

maximum Ethernet packet size your PC will send. Why a limit? Because although larger

packets can be constructed and sent, your ISP and Internet backbone routers and

equipment will fragment any larger than their limit, then these parts are re-assembled by the

target equipment before reading. This fragmentation and re-assembly is not optimal. You

may need to change the MTU for optimal performance of your wireless LAN traffic.

Data Rate

The standard IEEE 802.11a supports 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps data rates. You

can choose the rate that the device uses for data transmission. The default value is “auto”.

The device will use the highest possible selected transmission rate.

Preamble Type

The preamble is part of the 802.11 frame and is PHY dependant. All 802.11a systems

support the long preamble. The short preamble (optional) maybe used to improve

throughput when all stations on the network support the short preamble.

Broadcast SSID

Broadcasting the SSID will let your wireless clients find the device automatically. If you are

building a public Wireless Network, disable this function can provide better security. Every

wireless stations located within the coverage of the device must connect this device by

manually configure the SSID in your client settings.

IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol)

Not applicable for WLAN 2.

802.11g Protection

Not applicable for WLAN 2.

Block WLAN Relay (Isolate Client)

The device supports isolation function. If you are building a public Wireless Network, enable

this function can provide better security. The device will block packets between wireless

clients (relay). All the wireless clients connected to the device can’t see each other.

Aggregation Mode

This is a proprietary Ralink (802.11a chipset in the DLB70xx) aggregation setting that allows

for jumbo frames consisting of multiple smaller frames that increases throughput between

Ralink stations.

Tx Burst Mode

This is a proprietary Ralink (802.11a chipset in the device) burst setting and allows very

small networks (1~3 clients) to transmit at higher speeds. In larger networks, this will result

in degraded performance.
