6.5 Advanced
In most cases, AW4038 work well with wireless default settings. 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 set
according to the speed of your wireless network. You can set one transmission
speed, or keep the default setting “Auto” to have the router automatically
detect 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-
Page 45
Manual Ver1.0
slight adjustment of this value is recommended. If a network packet
is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism 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 wireless
station 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. When
AW4038 has buffered broadcast or multicast 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 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 802.11g
performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b network. Turn off protection
to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.
