Wireless Access Point
Configuring the Wireless AP 345
17. 802.11b Preamble: The preamble contains information that the AP and
client devices need when sending and receiving packets. All compliant
802.11b systems have to support the long preamble. A short preamble
improves the efficiency of a network's throughput when transmitting
special data, such as voice, VoIP (Voice-over IP) and streaming video.
Select Auto to instruct the AP to manage the preamble (long and short)
automatically, or choose Long Only.
18. Fragmentation Threshold: This is the maximum size for directed data
packets transmitted over the 802.11b/g IAP. Larger frames fragment into
several packets, their maximum size defined by the value you enter here.
Enter the desired Fragmentation Threshold value, between 256 and 2346.
19. RTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) Threshold specifies the
packet size. Packets larger than the RTS threshold will use CTS/RTS prior
to transmitting the packet — useful for larger packets to help ensure the
success of their transmission. Enter a value between 1 and 2347.
20. Max Stations: This defines how many station associations are allowed
per 802.11bgn IAP. Note that the IAPs > Global Settings window and
SSIDs > SSID Management window also have station limit settings —
Max Station Association per IAP (page 322) and Station Limit
(page 283), respectively. If multiple station limits are set, all will be
enforced. As soon as any limit is reached, no new stations can associate
until some other station has terminated its association.
