【General Configuration】
RTS --RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to lower the
base stations conflict to the minimum. When RTC/CTS is opened, the
router will resend the data frames until another RTC/CTS finishes the
handshake. You could start the RTS/CTS by configureting the packet
minimum and maximum value, we suggest to use the default (2347).
Frame value – frame value is used to share 802.11 frame to the smaller
segments and transmit them to the target independently. You could
specify the packet minimum and maximum value to start the segmenta-
tion. If there are many conflicts in the wireless network, you could make
tests by configureting different maximum value to strengthen the frame
transmission reliability. For the general use, we suggest to use the
default (2346)
Authentication and Security
"Authentication and Security" is to make the encryption and authentica-
tion of the adapter. IEEE 802.11 stipulates WEP(be equivalent to Wired
encryption) to ensure the transmission security. WEP uses the
encryption key to encrypt or decrypt the packet. The encryption
confuses the frame order to avoid any leak to others. WPA/WPA2 is the
improved security system of
802.11 and overcomes the shortage of WEP. See Figure 3-7.
