Wireless (Cont.)
Basic Rate Set (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) - This field indicates the basic
rates that wireless clients must support. Use “1 & 2 Mbps” only when
backward compatibility is needed for some older wireless LAN cards with
a maximum bit rate of 2Mbps.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346) – Fragmentation is used to divide
802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to
the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size
threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN,
experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability
of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal
use.
RTS Threshold (0-2347) – The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When
RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until
another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a
specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.
DTIM Interval (1-255) (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) – DTIM (Delivery
Traffic Indication Message) is a wireless message used to inform clients in
Power Saving Mode when the system should wake up to receive broadcast
and multicast messages. Type the time interval in which the system will
broadcast a DTIM for clients in Power Saving Mode. The default value (3)
is recommended.
Beacon Interval (1-65535) – This field indicates the time interval in
milliseconds that a system broadcast packet, or beacon, is sent to synchronize
the wireless network. The default value (100 milliseconds) is recommended.
Enable Frame Bursting? (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) – This field allows
you to enable frame-bursting mode to improve performance with wireless
clients that also support frame-bursting.
Enable Radio? (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) - Selecting “Yes” enables the
wireless function during user-defined dates and times. Wireless users will
not be able to connect on non-selected dates and times.
Date to Enable Radio (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) - This field defines
the dates that the wireless function will be enabled.
Time to Enable Radio (WL500g/WL500g Deluxe) - This field defines
the time range that the wireless function will be enabled on each of the
selected dates.
