RTS Threshold

The LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP sends RTS (Request to Send) frames to certain

receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, that STA

responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) frame to acknowledge the right to start transmission. The

setting range is 0 to 2346 in byte. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance.

Leave it at its default of 2346 is recommended.

Fragmentation Length

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 wirless client mode, enable “Wireless Separation” can prevent the communication

among associated wireless clients.

RIFS

RIFS (Reduced Interframe Spacing) is a means of reducing overhead and thereby increasing

network efficiency.
