z Wireless

mode:

11b/g mixed can let 11g or 11b computers both exist on the network, but the speed will be

reduced. Select 11g only for maximum speed, but no 11b users will be allowed on the network.

Beacon interval: This represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. The interval tells

receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the

beacon. Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon

interval value between 1 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.

RTS Threshold: The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of an RTS transmission. This helps control traffic

flow through an access point, especially one with many clients. The setting value range is from 1 to 2347, and

default value is set to 2347.

Fragmentation: In a network, the maximum size or length of a fragment is determined by the protocol used to

transport the data. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a high packet

error rate, you may slightly decrease your "Fragmentation" value within the value range of 256 to 2346, even

number only. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.

DTIM interval: A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is a countdown 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. AP clients hear

the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. Enter a value from 1 to 255 for

DTIM. The default value for DTIM interval is set to 3.

Preamble Type: The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for

communication between the Access Point and roaming wireless adapters.

z SSID

Broadcast:

Enable or Disable a SSID broadcast. When enabled, the SSID of AirLive WMU-6500FS is

sent to wireless enabled devices on the LAN. This feature is enabled by default.

Then press “Next” button, you could see the Wireless MAC Filtering setting.
