ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG302 Reference Manual (802.11a/g)
Advanced Configuration 4-5
v2.0, May 2006
RTS Threshold: Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used to determine if it
should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection)
mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD
transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it
has waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the
transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the
receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual
packet data. The default is 2346.
Fragmentation Length: This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets
larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value. The default is 2346.
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval. Specifies the interval time between 20ms and
1000ms for each beacon transmission. The default is 100.
DTIM Interval: The Delivery Traffic Indication Message. Specifies the data beacon rate
between 1 and 255. The default is 1.
Preamble Type (11b/g only): A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable
connection or a slightly longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance.
The Auto settings automatically handles both long and short preambles. The default is
Auto.

Enabling Wireless Bridging and Repeating
The ProSafe 802.11a/g Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG302 lets you build large bridged
wireless networks. Select the desired wireless access point mode for your environment:
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WAG302 will communicate ONLY with
another Bridge mode Wireless Station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of
the other Bridge mode Wireless Station in the field provided. WEP can (and should) be used to
protect this communication.
Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this WAG302 is the “Master” for a
group of Bridge-mode Wireless Stations. The other Bridge-mode Wireless Stations must be set
to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using the MAC address of this WAG302. They then send all
traffic to this “Master”, rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP can (and
should) be used to protect this traffic.
