Channel ID The radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices is called a channel.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
RTS/CTS The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS
Threshold handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service
data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on
the RTS/CTS handshake.
Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
Fragmentation The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.
Threshold It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Enter a value between 256 and 2432.
WEP Encryption WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the

Select Disable to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to use data encryption.
Key 1 to Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the wireless stations
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
