DESCRIPTION
Press [SPACE BAR] to select a channel. This allows you to set the operating frequency/
channel depending on your particular region.
RTS(Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) enables RTS/CTS 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.
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.
It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and
2432.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent wireless stations
from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.
Select Disable allows wireless stations to communicate with the access points without
any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to for the type of data encryption. WEP causes
performance degradation.
Enter the number of the key as an active key.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 5 characters or 10
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key (1-4).
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters or 26
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key (1-4).
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same on
the access points as they are on the wireless stations.
