There are 14 channels available for with the Access Point. All
devices communicating with the device must use the same
channel. You have to select a Channel No as the Channel ID
for identification.
By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible rate
for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among the
following options: All, 1, 2, 5.5, or 11 Mbps. For most
networks the default setting is All which is the best choice.
When All is enabled the transmission rate will select the
optimum rate. If obstacles or interference are present, the
system will automatically fall back to a lower rate.
WEP Encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is set to Disabled
by default. When WEP is enabled, data packet is encrypted
before transmitted to prevent data packets are eavesdropped by
unrelated people. By using WEP data encryption, there may be
a significant degradation of the data throughput on the wireless
link.
There are two kinds of format to be selected, ASCII or HEX.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from
being eavesdropped by unauthorized wireless users.
The values must be set up exactly the same on the Wireless
Router as they are on the wireless client stations. The same value
must be assigned to Key 1 on both the Wireless Router and the
client adapters, the same value must be assigned to Key 2 on both
the Wireless Router and the client stations and so on, for all four
WEP keys.
