16Configuration MenuThe default Performancesettings are shown here.Beacon Interval: Beacons arepackets sent by an AccessPoint to synchronize a wirelessnetwork. Specify a Beaconinterval value. Default (100) isrecommended.RTS Threshold: This valueshould remain at its defaultsetting of 2,432. If youencounter inconsistent dataflow, only minor modificationsto the value range between256 and 2,432 arerecommended.Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If youexperience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your FragmentationThreshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the FragmentationThreshold too low may result in poor performance.DTIM Interval (Beacon Rate): (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a valuebetween 1 and 16384 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM isa countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast andmulticast messages.Transmission Rate: Select the transmission rate for the networkPreamble: Long Preamble is the default setting. (High traffic networks should usethe shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of the CRC block(Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmissionerrors) used in communication between the Access Point and the roaming wirelessNetwork adapters.Authentication:Open System – communicates the key across the networkShared Key – devices must have identical WEP settings to communicateAuto – automatically adjusts to the Authentication mode of the wireless clientAntenna Type: Select Left, Right or both (Diversity) antennaSSID Broadcast: (Service Set Identifier) Enable or Disable (default) the broadcastof the SSID name across the network. SSID is a name that identifies a wirelessnetwork. All devices on a network must use the same SSID to establishcommunication.Fig. 5.7Advanced > Performance
