DRAFT
Chapter 2 Web-Based User Interface 12 4038769 Rev 01 4 Your device selects the optimum Control Channel for Wireless-N(5GHz) networking by default. If you want to configure the Control Channel manually, select another setting form the drop-down menu. 5 Use the following guidelines to configure the remaining fields: Note: This list below varies based on the code version on your device. If you have a question about any field, please contact your service provider.  Extension Channel: If you selected 40MHz Channel for the Bandwidth setting, then this setting will be available for your primary Wireless-N (5GHz) channel. If you are not sure which channel to select, keep the default setting of Upper/Lower.  Bandwidth: You can select the channel bandwidth manually for Wireless-N connections. When it is set to 20MHz, only the 20MHz channel is used. When it is set to 40MHz, Wireless-N connections will use the 40MHz channel.  Max Associations Limit: Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can be connected at a time. The acceptable range is 1 through 128.  Fragmentation Threshold: Enter a the maximum packet byte size to allow. Packets that exceed this value will be subdivided. This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.The acceptable range is 256 through 2346.  RTS Threshold: Enter the maximum bytes allowed for the Request to Send (RTS) Threshold to define how often RTS packets will be sent. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default, 2346, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The device sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2346.The acceptable range is 256 through 2346.  DTIM Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 255 to set 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 device has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.  Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds to set the frequency of the beacon interval for the device. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the device to synchronize the wireless network(s). The default value is 100. DRAFT
Wireless Setup 4038769 Rev 01 13  TPC Mitigation (db): Power Mitigation factor (in db).  WMM Support: The device supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) for Quality of Service (QoS). When WMM Support is enabled, it provides four priority queues for different types of traffic. It automatically maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues based on QoS settings (in the IP or layer 2 header). WMM provides the capability to prioritize traffic in your environment. If you have other devices on your network that support WMM, select On. The default is On.  No-Acknowledgement: When enabled, wireless devices will not acknowledge each transmitted packet. This may cause more efficient throughput in low RF noise environments, but will degrade performance in noisy environments. The default is Off.  APSD Support: Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) is a special power-saving mode to achieve end-to-end QoS. This option is available if you enabled WMM Support. Select On to enable Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) or Off to disable this feature. 6 Click the Apply button to apply your changes or Cancel button to cancel.
