EN
'Fragmentation threshold': Lists the number of bytes that defines the
fragmentation limit for direct messages; the purpose of the limit is to
make data transfer more secure and reliable. This occurs by dividing a
MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) into multiple, smaller MAC Protocol Data
Units (MPDUs). If the size of the transfer packages is too large, serious
malfunctions can result. However, too small of a frame produces a back
-
log during transfer (default setting: 2346 bytes).
'RTS threshold': Request To Send is part of a virtual collision mechanism
on the MAC level; the station which is ready to send informs the target
station of how long it will make use of the access point to send data
(default setting: 2342 bytes).
'Beacon period': The MicroLink dLAN Wireless is a "beacon" for the cur-
rent exchange of data. On a regular basis, it sends "beacon frames" to all
stations, which contain, among other things, a time span (default setting:
100 milliseconds). In order not to disturb a current data transfer, the sta
-
tions may not use the MicroLink dLAN Wireless during this period.
'DTIM': Delivery Traffic Indication Map; List of broadcast/multicast
recipients, transmitted by the access point.
Keep in mind that the settings you have configured only take effect if you con-
firm them by clicking Submit and restart the access point.
