Configuring the 802.11 Authentication
Ÿ Open: Open system authentication. A user accessing the WLAN can choose WEP,
WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK key to pass the authentication or choose No encryption to
skip the authentication.
Ÿ Shared: Shared key authentication. It can use only WEP. The user accessing the WLAN
must use the WEP to authenticate.
Configuring the Encryption Mode
There are four encryption modes: No Encryption, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WEP. For
details, refer to "Configuring the WLAN Encryption Mode."
Configuring Access Attributes of the Client
As shown in the following figure, you can set the Preamble Type, Max Associations
Limit, Mode, and enable or disable the peer MAC address through the Bridge Restriction.
Ÿ Preamble Type: It has two options: Long and Short. In the case that the client (PC)
supports the Short type, the WLAN can have a better performance if it is Short.
Ÿ MAX Associations Limit: It refers to the maximum number of connections. It is used to
set the maximum number of concurrent WLAN users on the gateway. A maximum of 32
clients can connect with the gateway in wireless mode.
Ÿ Mode: It refers to the WLAN accessing mode. The gateway can work in two modes, as
shown in the following table. The default value is Access Point.

Wireless Bridge
Access Point
Ÿ Bridge Restriction: It refers to the limitation to the peer MAC addresses. When it is
Disabled, the gateway can access all the remote bridges; when it is Enabled, the
gateway can only access the remote bridges that the addresses are in the address list.
Ÿ Bridges: It refers to the physical address of the remote peer bridge. The gateway
supports the point-to-multipoint (PTM) bridge mode, and a wireless gateway can connect
four remote peer bridges at the same time.
Ÿ Peer MAC Address: It refers to the physical address list of the remote peer bridges. It
contains a maximum of four physical addresses.
Ÿ Link Status: Up shows the successful connection and Down shows the failed
connection.
