UTILITY INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

Menu	Description
Device Name	The name of the wireless access point. (Default: SMC2671W)

Basic Rates	The highest rate specified is the rate the access point will use
	when transmitting broadcast/multicast and management
	frames. Available options are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps. (Default:
	2 Mbps.)

Data Rates	Set the data rate transmitted from the SMC2671W. The lower
	the data rate, the longer the transmission distance. Available
	options are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps. (Default: 11)

Preamble Type	The access points and client card drivers have a radio setting
	for RF Preamble. If you are not sure whether all the clients and
	access point radios in your wireless network support the Short
	RF preamble, then leave this setting to the default (Long).

Beacon Interval	The beacon signals allow the wireless devices to maintain
	contact with each other. They may also carry
	power-management information. (Default: 100)

RTS Threshold	You may configure the access point to initiate an RTS frame.
	If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size,
	the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled. (Default: 2,347
	which means Disabled)

Frag. Threshold	The Fragmentation Threshold can be set between 256 and
	2,346. If the packet size is smaller than the preset fragment
	size, the packet will not be segmented. (Default: 2,346 which
	means Disabled)

Operation Mode

Mode	This may be set to Access Point, Range Extender, or Ethernet
	Adapter. (Default: Ethernet Adapter)

BSSID	Basic Service Set ID. The MAC address of the access point to
	which the adapter is connected in an infrastructure network. In
	an ad hoc network, the BSS ID is a random number generated
	by the first adapter that communicates with other clients in the
	network. The BSS ID of the other clients will then be set to the
	same value.
