Wireless LAN Access Point Configuration

Parameters

Description

Auto Rate Fall Back

Select Enable or Disable. When this is enabled, the

 

wireless network provides more flexibility when wireless

 

devices roam. As wireless devices move away from the

 

Access Point, the transfer rate will automatically fall

 

back to the most optimum rate allowed.

Wireless Channel

Select the channel to be used. Channels differ from

 

country to country. There are 14 channels available.

WEP type

Select the 64(40) or 128 bits Wired Equivalent Privacy

 

Algorithm.

WEP key

Select one of the keys (1~4) as the WEP encryption key

 

for transmissions between stations and the Access Point.

Wireless Fragmentation

The size of the packets to be fragmented. Enter a value

Threshold

within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.

Wireless RTS Threshold

Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To

 

Send) transmission. For packets smaller than this

 

threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is

 

transmitted directly to the WLAN. The value is in a range

 

of 256 to 2346 bytes.

WEP Keys #1 - #4

The default key that will be used. May be edited when

 

WEP type is 64(40) bits. Enter 10 digit Hex values (in the

 

range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”) as the encryption keys.

Preamble Type

The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for

 

communication between the Wireless LAN Access Point

 

and the roaming Wireless Stations. The Short Preamble

 

option improves throughput performance.
