82D-Link DAP-1350 User ManualSection 3 - ConﬁgurationThe DAP-1350 can be conﬁgured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). The DAP-1350 ﬁrewall feature ﬁlters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DAP-1350 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DAP-1350 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DAP-1350 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming trafﬁc to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer.Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are pre-deﬁned virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://www.dlink.com/support/faq/?prod_id=1191.Virtual Server

88D-Link DAP-1350 User ManualSection 3 - ConﬁgurationSet the transmit power of the antennas.Note: Transmit power is regulated by international standard. Users are forbidden to change its maximum limit.Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended. (Delivery Trafﬁc Indication Message) 1 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If inconsistent data ﬂow is a problem, only a minor modiﬁcation should be made.The fragmentation threshold, which is speciﬁed in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients.Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may create higher data loss.Transmit Power:Beacon Period:DTIM Interval:RTS Threshold:Fragmentation Threshold:WMM Function:Short GI:Advanced Wireless Settings
