directed messages. Data will be transmitted in fragments with its size not
exceeding this value. Enter a value between 256 to 2432. The value of
this attribute shall never be less than 256.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) To prevent unauthorized wireless stations
from accessing data transmitted over the network, the Prestige 316 offers
a data encryption, known as WEP to help encrypt wireless data
transmitted via wireless medium. Disable allows wireless adapters to
communicate with the Access Points without any data encryption.
WEP40 requires the wireless stations to use data encryption when
communicating with the Access Point. Optional WEP40 allows wireless
clients to communicate with the Access Point with or without data
encryption.
NOTE: Although WEP is functional at 5.5 and 11 Mb/s, there is significant
performance degradation when using WEP at these rates.
Default Key This allows you to select one WEP key as an active key to encrypt
wireless data transmission.
Key1 to Key4 There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from being
eavesdropped by unauthorized wireless users. The values must be set
up exactly the same on the Access Points as they are on the wireless
client stations. The same value must be assigned to Key 1 on both the
Access Point and the client adapters, the same value must be assigned
to Key 2 on both the Access Point and the client stations and so on, for
all four WEP keys. Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9,
a-f, or A-F) preceded by the characters "0x" (e.g., 0x11aa22bb33). Or
you may enter a five ASCII string key (e.g., MyKey).
When you have completed this menu, press [Enter] at the prompt [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save

NOTE: The two ports of the Prestige on the LAN side (Ethernet LAN and Wireless
LAN ports) can transparently communicate with each other since there is
