Authentication Algorithm
Because there is no precise bound in wireless LANs, it needs to be imple-
mented in another mechanism to provide a higher level of security. That is
where Authentication services come in. If a mutual authentication relation-
ship has not been established between the ASUS USB SpaceLink Client(s)
and the Access Point(s), an association cannot be established.
Auto based on WEP setting – Switch the authentication mode based upon
the ASUS USB SpaceLink Client using WEP encryption or not.
Open System – A null authentication algorithm. A station can authenticate
with any other station or Access Point and without checking any WEP Key,
even if one exists.
Share Key – In a Share Key Authentication system, four-step exchange of
frames is required to validate that the station is using the same WEP Key as
the Access Point. Using this Authentication mechanism requires imple-
mentation of the WEP option.
Maximum Listen Interval
This value is used to indicate how often a station will wake up to listen to
beacon management frames. Listen intervals range from 0 to 77 in steps of 1.
Preamble Mode
This parameter is used to control whether frames will transmit with the
long or short preamble.
