interface from a connected PC.
Installing SNMP Configuration Utility
The access point SNMP configuration utility enables you to modify the various configurable parameters
of the access point. This utility must be running Windows 98 or Windows Millennium. The following
steps illustrate the installation of the utility in Windows 98.
1.
Insert the ME102 Wireless Access Point Resource CD into the CD-ROM drive. From the
Windows 98 desktop, double-click on My Computer . Double-click on the CD-ROM drive to look
into the content of the CD. Double-click on the SNMPMANG folder. Windows displays all of the
files in the \SNMPMANG directory of the CD.
Double-click on the SETUP application icon to start the installation procedure. The InstallShields
2.
Wizard opens. Click on "Next" to continue.
3.
Click on "Browse" to change the destination location where the Access Point SNMP utility is
installed. Otherwise, click on "Next" to continue.
4.
Modify the "Program Folders" entry field if desired. Click on "Next" to continue. InstallShields
starts copying files into your system.
5.
Click on "Finish" to complete the installation of the access point SNMP utility.
Configurable between Open System (WEP disabled), Shared Key (40-
bit WEP data encryption), and both.
A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to lock into the received
bit patterns more easily. A short transmit preamble provides better
performance. The default value is Long Tx Preamble.
Enables or disables automatic negotiation of wireless transmit data
rate.
This is the packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger than
the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment
Threshold value must be larger than RTS Threshold value. The
default value for Fragment Threshold is 2346.
The packet size that the wireless node uses to determine if it should
use the CSMA/CD 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 a RTS packet to the
receiving station, waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS
packet before sending the actual packet data. The default value for
RTS Threshold is 2346.
