Nexxt Solutions – Wireless-N 3G router46Figure 6-11 Wireless AdvancedBeacon interval – Set the desired beacon interval in this field, ranging from 20-1000 mil-liseconds. Beacons are packets broadcast by the router to synchronize a wireless network. The beacon Interval value indicates the frequency of the beacon. The default value is set to 100. RTS threshold - You can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold in this field. If the packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346. Fragmentation threshold – It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is frag-mented into multiple packets. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance due to the generation of an excessive number of packets. 2346 is the default setting, which is also the value 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 next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval. Enable WMM - WMM function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages be-ing transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended to have this feature enabled.Enable short GI - This function is enabled by default and used to set the time the receiver waits for RF reflections to settle out before sampling data.

Nexxt Solutions – Wireless-N 3G router90Appendix B: Glossary802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploit-ing the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology specification for interoperabil-ity of next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products.802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed ra-dio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.802.11g - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security.DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of web-sites into IP addresses.Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines.ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted.NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet.PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up con-nection.SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to com-municate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices communicate with each other wirelessly, in which network serving users are limited in a local area.•••••••••••••••••
