4.2.3 Restricted Access

The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the AP to give exclusive access to devices
(Allow) or exclude them from accessing the AP (Deny).

4.2.4 Hide Prestige Identity

If you hide the ESSID, then the Prestige cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of "hiding" the Prestige may be inconvenient for
some valid WLAN clients.

4.2.5 G-plus

G-plus is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. G-plus combines multiple
frames into a larger frame size. This increases wireless transmission speeds by allowing larger
frames (up to 4 KB) to be sent.
Note: G-plus speed applies only to unicast traffic (not broadcast or multicast). G-plus
is automatically disabled if wireless transmission speeds fall below 11 Mbps.

4.2.6 Using OTIST

To automatically configure the wireless security settings and set the wireless client to use the
SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK
same
wireless OTIST screen.
To manually configure the security setting, enter the WEP or WPA-PSK keys and SSID in the
wireless screen. After that, you can enter the same settings in the wireless client or run OTIST
to have the wireless client acquire the SSID and key automatically.
If you change the SSID or the keys after OTIST, you need to run OTIST again or enter them
manually in the wireless client.
Note: You must activate and start OTIST on both the Prestige and the wireless client
at the same time.
See the wireless client Quick Start Guide for information on wireless client
OTIST setup. For more information on OTIST see
