30
Specify the maximum size in byte for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets.
Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is
recommended.
Beacon Interval
Specify the frequency interval to broadcast packets. Enter a value between 20 and 1024.
DTIM Interval
DTIM, which stands for Delivery Traffic Indication Message, is contained in the data packets. It is
for enhancing the wireless transmission efficiency. The default is set to 1. Enter a value between
1 and 255.
Preamble Type
It defines some details on the 802.11 physical layer. “Long” and “Short” are available.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic. By enabling IGMP snooping,
the AP will listen to IGMP membership reports, queries and leave messages to identify the ports
that are members of multicast groups. Multicast traffic will only be forwarded to ports identified as
members of the specific multicast group or groups.
Wireless Separation
Wireless separation is an ideal way to enhance the security of network transmission. Under the
mode except wireless client mode, enable “Wireless Separation” can prevent the
communication among associated wireless clients.
RIFS
RIFS (Reduced Inter-frame Spacing) is a means of reducing overhead and thereby increasing
network efficiency.
Link Integration
Available under AP/Bridge/AP repeater mode, it monitors the connection on the Ethernet port by
checking “Enabled”. It can inform the associating wireless clients as soon as the disconnection
occurs.
Max. Station Num
Available only under AP mode, it defines the maximum amount of wireless clients allowed to be
connected.
Space in Meter/ACK Timeout
To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distance, the EKI-6311GN can
automatically adjust proper ACK timeout value by specifying distance of the two nodes.
Flow Control
It allows the administrator to specify the incoming and outgoing traffic limit by checking “Enable
Traffic Shaping ”. This is only available in Router mode.
We strongly recommend you leave most advanced settings at their defaults except
“Distance in Meters” adjusted the parameter for real distance; any modification on
them may negatively impact the performance of your wireless network.
