[. . . ] Antenna Select: This option provides antenna setting for which one you would like to set as TX/RX antenna. ACK Timeout: The Acknowledgement Timeout means from remote to local data transmission, one parameter to control both acknowledging action to guaranty those packets have already be received. Usually, for short distance, keep default setting is proposed. If there is long distance application, have minor increased with this parameter will be proposed. Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network. DTIM Interval: This value 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 AP 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. Fragmentation Threshold: 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. Beacon interval: The data transmitted on your wireless network that keeps the network synchronized. DTIM: A message included in data packets that can increase wireless efficiency. Fragmentation: Breaking a packet into smaller units when transmitting over a network medium that cannot support the original size of the packet. RTS Threshold: Using this setting can regulate your wireless network if you experience any inconsistent data flow situation, only by minor adjustment of the default value, the default value 2346 is recommended. The RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled if your wireless network packet less than RTS threshold value. The AP sends Request to Send (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 Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. [. . . ] This warranty is voided if (i) the product has been modified or repaired by any unauthorized service center, (ii) the product was subject to accident, abuse, or improper use (iii) the product was subject to conditions more severe than those specified in the manual. Warranty service may be obtained by contacting TRENDware office within the applicable warranty period for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number, accompanied by a copy of the dated proof of the purchase. Products returned to TRENDware must be pre-authorized by TRENDware with RMA number marked on the outside of the package, and sent prepaid, insured and packaged appropriately for safe shipment. WARRANTIES EXCLUSIVE: IF THE TRENDWARE PRODUCT DOES NOT OPERATE AS WARRANTED ABOVE, THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE, AT TRENDWARE'S OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. [. . . ]
