Advance Setup
Beacon Interval: This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to keep the network synchronized.
A beacon includes the wireless LAN service area, the AP address, the Broadcast
destination addresses, a time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic
Indicator Message (TIM).
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold: This specifies the maximum size a data packet will be before
splitting and creating a new packet and should remain at its default setting of 2,346. A
smaller setting means smaller packets, which will create more packets for each
transmission. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
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
Wireless Broadband Anywhere

WX-5520A Dual Band Access Point
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.
Preamble Type : The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication
between the Access Point and a roaming Network Card. (High network traffic areas should
use the shorter preamble type.) Select the appropriate preamble type and click the Apply
button to set it. All wireless points (nodes) on your network should use the same preamble
type.

§
There is not a network connection.
§
The computer you are using does not have a compatible IP Address.
Resolution:
§
Make sure your AP is powered on.
§
Make sure that your computer has a compatible IP Address. Be sure that the IP Address
used on your computer is set to the same subnet as the AP. For example, if the AP is
set to 192.168.5.250, change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.5.15 or
another unique IP Address that corresponds to the 192.168.5.X subnet.
Use the Reset button located on the rear of the AP to revert to the default settings.
I can’t connect to other computers on my LAN.
Cause:
§
The IP Addresses of the computers are not set correctly.
§
Network cables are not connected properly.

WX-5520A Dual Band Access Point
Resolution:
§
Make sure that each computer has a unique IP Address. If using DHCP through the AP ,
makes sure that each computer is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” and
restart the computer.
§
Make sure that the Link LED is on. If it is not, try a different network cable.
§
Check each computer for correct network settings.
Wireless Troubleshooting
I can’t access the Wireless AP from a wireless network card
Cause:
§
Out of range.
§
IP Address is not set correctly.
Resolution:
§
Make sure that the Mode, SSID, Channel and encryption settings are set the same on
each wireless adapter.
§
Make sure that your computer is within range and free from any strong electrical
devices that may cause interference.
§
Check your IP Address to make sure that it is compatible with the Wireless AP.
