Wireless LAN Acc ess Point Configuration
Parameter Description
Authent ic ation Type There are two authentication types: “Open System” and “Shared Key”.
When you select “Open System”, wireless stations can associate with
this access point without WEP encryption. When you select “Shared
Key”, you should also setup WEP key in the “Encryption” page and
wireless stations should use WEP encryption in the authentication phase
to associate with this access point. If you select “Auto”, the wireless client
can associate with this access point by using any one of these two
authentication types.
Fragment T hr eshold “Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet during the
fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will
result in ba d per for m ance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the access point
will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
