LevelOne WAP-3000 - Manual (Page 30)

Advanced Setting
This page contains configurations for advanced users, which the change reflects the wireless
performance and operating modes.
Beacon Interval: To set the period of time in milliseconds that AP sends out a beacon. Default is 100
milliseconds.
RTS Threshold: To set the size of RTS/CTS packet size. Default is 2432 bytes.
Fragmentation Threshold: To set the number of bytes used for the fragmentation boundary for
directed messages. Default is 2346 bytes.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A
DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the access point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for
associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. Access point clients hear the
beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
SSID Broadcast: While SSID Broadcast is enabled, all wireless clients will be able to communicate
with the access point. For secure purpose, user may want to disable SSID broadcast to allow only
those wireless clients with the AP SSID to communicate with the access point.
Mode Setting: To set AP’s operation as G Mode for 802.11g only or Mix Mode for 802.11b/802.11g.
TX Rates: Select one of the wireless communications transfer rates, measured in megabytes per
second, based upon the speed of wireless adapters connected to the WLAN.
