Click Save.
This value, between 1 and 255, indicates 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 CVR100W 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.
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.
If you encounter inconsistent data flow, enter only
minor reductions. The default value of 2347 is
recommended.
If a network packet is smaller than the preset Request
to Send (RTS) threshold size, the RTS/Clear to Send
(CTS) mechanism will not be enabled. The Services
Ready Platform sends 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 CTS frame to acknowledge the right to begin
transmission.
