Wireless Mode
Select Pure B Mode to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the G-560.
Select Pure G Mode to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the G-560.
Select Mixed Mode to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the G-560. The transmission rate of your G-560
might be reduced.
Select G+ to allow any ZyXEL WLAN devices that support this feature to associate
with the G-560. This permits the G-560 to transmit at a higher speed than the pure
G mode.
Select B+ to allow any ZyXEL WLAN devices that support this feature to associate
with the G-560. This permits the G-560 to transmit at a higher speed than the pure
B mode.
Advanced Settings
RTS/CTS
Threshold
Select the check box and enter a value between 0 and 2432. The default is 2432.
You must enter 4096 if you select G+ in the Wireless Mode field.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Select the check box and enter a value between 256 and 2432. The default is
2432. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
You must enter 4096 if you select G+ in the Wireless Mode field.
Enable Intra-BSS
Traffic
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select this
check box to enable Intra-BSS traffic.
Number of
Wireless Stations
Allowed to
Associate:
Use this field to set a maximum number of wireless stations that may connect to
the G-560.
Enter the number (from 1 to 32) of wireless stations allowed.
Output Power
Management
Set the output power of the G-560 in this field. If there is a high density of APs
within an area, decrease the output power of the G-560 to reduce interference with
other APs.
The options are Full, 50%, 25% and 12%.
Preamble Type
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means
more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support
long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless
adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless
networks.
Select Short preamble if you are sure the wireless adapters support it, and to
provide more efficient communications.
Select Auto to have the G-560 automatically use short preamble when all wireless
clients support it, otherwise the G-560 uses long preamble.
Note: The G-560 and the wireless stations MUST use the same
preamble mode in order to communicate.
Quality of Service
(QoS/WMM)
Select the check box to enable WMM QoS. WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic to
ensure quality of service in wireless networks. See
for traffic
priority.
