Parameter
More Info
Transmission Rate
The transmission rate is set according to the speed of your WiFi connection.
Select the transmission rate from the drop-down menu, or select 'Auto' to
have L13 automatically use the fastest possible data transmission rates (the
only option when using 802.11ng). Note that if your wireless connection is
weak or unstable, it is best to select a low transmission rate.
Transmit Power
The percentage of maximum transmission power.
CTS Protection Mode
CTS Protection Mode boosts your gateway's ability to intercept 802.11g and
802.11b transmissions. Conversely, CTS Protection Mode decreases
performance. Leave this feature disabled unless you encounter severe
communication difficulties between the gateway and 802.11g products. If
enabling, select "Always". Select "Auto" to have L13 decide automatically
whether or not to use this feature.
CTS Protection Type
Select the type of CTS protection—CTS-only or RTS-CTS.
Frame Burst
This feature (also known as packet bursting) increases the speed of a 802.11gbased wireless network by unwrapping short packets and rebundling them
into a larger one.
Frame Burst – Max Number - At any given time, only one wireless client can
communicate with the access point. Therefore, clients, competing for air
time, transmit data in frame bursts. Use this field to determine the maximum
number of frames that L13 will allow clients to transmit in a single frame
burst.
Frame Burst – Burst Time - The maximum length of a frame burst. Limit the
time of a frame burst to avoid large frames from taking communication
precedence.
