ZyAIR Wireless LAN Utility
2-16 Using the ZyAIR Utility
Select Long Preamble if you have a ‘noisy’ network or are unsure of what preamble mode the access point
or the other wireless clients support as all IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters must support long
preamble. However, not all wireless adapters support short preamble. Use long preamble if you are unsure
what preamble mode the wireless adapters support, to ensure interpretability between the ZyAIR and the
access point/wireless stations and to provide more reliable communication in ‘noisy’ networks.
Select Auto to have the ZyAIR automatically use short preamble when all access point/wireless stations
support it, otherwise the ZyAIR uses long preamble.
The ZyAIR and the access point/wireless stations MUST use the same preamble
mode in order to communicate.
