Telkom ADSL 5102G Instruction Manual page 33

Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID
through passive scanning. Select No to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the
SSID through passive scanning.
Channel ID: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices is
called a channel. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
Authentication Type: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP
& WPA. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to select
from: 64-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP 64.
You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The default
type of wireless is disabled and to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the
access points without any data encryption
Advanced Setting
Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the
beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router
to synchronize the wireless network.
RTS/CTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for
enabling 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 1500 and 2347..
Fragmentation Threshold: 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 2346.
DMIT: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM).
802.11b/g: The default setting is 802.11b+g (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have
both 11g and 11b devices in your network, then keep the default in mixed mode. From the
drop-down manual, you can select 802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b
card, then select 802.11b.
Wireless MAC Address Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 32
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the router (Deny
Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address.
The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the
