Modification is not recommended unless you are very familiar with these parameters.Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the provided list to correspond with your network settings. All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to function correctly. Default: 7.Rate: The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The data transmission rate should be setaccording to the speed of your wireless network. You can set one transmissionspeed, or keep the default setting “Auto” to have the router automaticallydetect the fastest possible data rate. Basic Rate Set: Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support. Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The range is 256-2346 bytes. This value specifies the maximum packet size before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly lower the Fragmentation value. Setting the Fragmentation too low may result in poor network performance. Only slight adjustment of this value is recommended.RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only -44-
Manual Ver1.0slight adjustment of this value is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTSmechanism will not be enabled. AW4038 sends Request to Send(RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the transmission of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wirelessstation responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM interval is a countdown field which is used to inform clients about the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. WhenAW4038 has buffered broadcast or multicast for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear thebeacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast message.Default: 3.Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 65535 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by AW4038 to synchronize the wireless network. Default: 100.54g Mode: There are 3 selections. Select 54g Auto for the widest compatibility. Select 54g Performance for the fastest performance. Select 54g LRS if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.54g protection: In Auto mode, AW4038 will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11gperformance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b network. Turn off protection to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions. -45-
