Authentication Mode Open System – No authentication is needed for connecting
to the AP.
Shared Key – Only wireless adapters using a shared key
(WEP Key identified) are allowed to connect to the AP.
Parameter Description
Fragment The value defines the maximum size of packets, any packet
size larger than the value will be fragmented. If you have
decreased this value and experience high packet error rates,
you can increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall
network performance. Select a setting within a range of 256
to 2346 bytes. Minor change is recommended.
RTS / CTS Minimum packet size required for an RTS/CTS (Request To
Send/Clear to Send). For packets smaller than this threshold,
an RTS/CTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly
to the WLAN. Select a setting within a range of 0 to 2347
bytes. Minor change is recommended.
Preamble The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for
communication among the wireless networks. There are two
modes including Long and Short. High network traffic areas
should use the shorter preamble type.
MAC Address Filter This AP can protect from the unauthorized users by MAC
Address filtering. Please refer to Section 3.5.3.
Bridge Adapter Wireless adapters connect to the AP can access to the wired
network through the bridge adapter. You can select an
Ethernet adapter in the list be the bridge between the wireless
and wired networks.
