WEP Key 1 ... 4 Enter the WEP keys in the fields provided and select a key as the default key to use.
If you select 64 bit in the WEP Encryption field.
or
If you select 128 bit in the WEP Encryption field,
or
Beacon Interval Set the number of milliseconds that should pass between sending out a beacon. Enter a time
period between 1 and 1000. The default is 100.
RTS Threshold Enter a value between 0 and 2442 to enable an RTS/CTS handshake to avoid retransmitting
due to hidden nodes. The default is 2432.
Fragmentation Enter a value between 256 and 2446 to enable a fragmentation threshold. This sets the
Threshold maximum size of data fragments that can be sent. The default is 2432. Use a low setting if
there is a great deal of radio interference.
Preamble Type Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for
sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support long preamble, but not
all support short preamble.
Select Long Preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters support,
and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks. Select Short
Preamble if you are sure the wireless adapters support it, and to provide more efficient
communications.

Enter 13 printable ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-
9" (for example, MyKey12345678) for ASCII key type.
The values for the WEP keys must be set up
exactly the same on all wireless devices in the
same wireless LAN.
ASCII WEP keys are case sensitive.
