NTERFACE ONFIGURATION General Setup ESSID If the device is operating in Access Point or Access point WDS mode, specify the wireless network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier) used to identify your WLAN.
  • Page 41 In most cases, we recommend that you use WDS because it enables transparent Layer 2 traffic. The WDS protocol is not defined as a standard, so there may be compatibility issues between equipment from different vendors. Guard Interval This is the space between symbols being transmitted. The Guard Interval is there to eliminate inter-symbol interference.

  • Page 42: Wireless Security

    IRELESS ECURITY All the wireless security settings are set under this section. The operation of the Keys is the same for ALL the Wireless modes. Security The Pro 95 range supports the following wireless security methods: No Encryption If you want an open network without wireless security, select No Encryption. WEP Open System WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is the oldest and least secure security algorithm.
  • Page 43 Note: Operating with WEP security will limit AP to maximum wireless link speed of 54Mbps only. Encryption Select the type of encryption you want to use. Open System (Default) No authentication. We recommend using this option over shared authentication. Shared Key May not be compatible with all Access Points.
  • Page 44 MAC-Filter This setting is only available on the Access Point. MAC-Address Filter Lets you allow only devices with the listed MAC address to associate with this AP, or lets you block devices with the listed MAC address. Mac List Adds the MAC address of the remote device to either block or allow. Advanced Settings 802.11h Tick to enable 802.11h Mode.
  • Page 45 RTS/CTS Threshold This value is set to 2346 as default, which is the maximum 802.11 packet size. We recommend leaving this setting for Point-to-Point links, however, for Multipoint setups we recommend setting the RTS Threshold lower (538). The AP device sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame.
