Meaning
Changes the encoding format during frame sending.
"Long GI" arranges the encoding with a certain amount of (time)
spacing to prevent interference by the encoded information.
"Short GI" shortens this interval to enable sending of more
information.
Sets whether 802.11g protection is used.
If 802.11g protection is used, communication by 11g standard
devices can be given priority even in environments where 11g
standard and 11b standard wireless LAN devices coexist.
This option is not available in 802.11a.
Sets whether 802.11n protection is used.
If 802.11n protection is used, collisions and other adverse effects on
performance can be reduced even in environments where devices
using previous standards (11a, 11b, 11g) coexist.
Sets the interval that the AirStation sends information about
power management to the wireless device. Larger values reduce
the number of chances by the wireless device to obtain the
information, and so while this enables reduced power consumption
by the wireless device, it also results in a slower response.
This setting is ignored if the power management setting in the
wireless device (computer) is not enabled.
This performs a RTS/CTS process before sending frames with a size
that exceeds the threshold value. This enables improved reliability
in frame transfer when the surrounding environment is poor, where
separated from the AirStation by considerable distance, or other
adverse conditions.
This breaks up sending frames with a size that exceeds the
threshold value before sending them. This enables improved
reliability in frame transfer when the surrounding environment is
poor, when separated from the AirStation by considerable distance,
or other adverse conditions.
