Description

 

 

SSL Version

Version of the installed SSL protocol.

 

 

SSL Issuer

Entity issuing the CA certificate.

 

 

SSL Subject

Subject from the CA certificate.

 

 

SSL Start Date

Date the SSL certificate is valid.

 

 

Encryption Type

The type. 64–bit WEP, 128–bit WEP, Dynamic (used with WEP, TKIP, or both), Auto,

 

or None (no encryption is used)..

 

 

Dynamic Type

Indicates whether dynamic encryption is used. Disabled, Shared (pre-shared keys), or

 

Robust (TKIP or AES)

 

 

Available Wireless Networks

Lists the available wireless networks, and their properties which include the SSID,

 

Channel, Strength, Capability, Security, and BSSID.

 

 

Wireless Mode

The 802.11 wireless mode, which are B/G or B/G/N.

 

 

Guard Interval

The guard interval setting (Auto, Long or Short) which is the space between

 

transmitted symbols (characters). Can eliminate inter-symbol interference (ISI), which

 

occurs when echoes or reflections from one symbol interfere with another. A long

 

interval can reduce echoes, but decrease the data rate. A short interval can increase

 

the data rate by approximately 10 percent.

 

 

AMSDU Aggregation

Aggregating 802.11n MAC service data units packs them into frames to reduce

 

overhead and increase the data rate. Enabling aggregation allows a maximum frame

 

size of 7935 bytes. Use aggregation of MAC service data units: ENABLED or

 

DISABLED

 

 

Block ACKs

Select whether to enable acknowledgment of multiple AMPDUs, which allows each of

 

the aggregated data frames to be individually acknowledged or retransmitted if

 

affected by an error. (Automatically enabled when AMPDU Aggregation is enabled.)

 

Use block acknowledgement of multiple AMPDUs: ENABLED or DISABLED

 

 

AMPDU Aggregation

Aggregating 802.11n MAC protocol data units packs them into frames to reduce

 

overhead and increase the data rate. Enabling aggregation allows a maximum frame

 

size of 64k bytes: ENABLED or DISABLED
