an encryption mechanism used to protect your

 

 

 

wireless data communications. WEP uses a

 

 

 

combination of 64-bit/128-bit keys to encrypt data that

 

 

 

is transmitted between all points in a wireless network

 

 

 

to insure data security. To code/decode the data

 

 

 

transmission, all points must use the identical key. To

 

 

 

make the WEP encryption active or inactive, select

 

 

 

“Mandatory” or “Disable”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WEP Key

As the WEP is active, click the button of “WEP Key

 

 

Setting:

Setting” to go to the setting page. Select “64Bit” or

 

 

 

“128Bit” encryption algorithm from the drop-down list.

 

 

 

There are two ways to generate WEP key:

 

 

 

Passphrase Enter an alphanumeric text string in this

 

 

 

column then click “Generate” button, and four 64-bit

 

 

 

encryption keys will be created automatically. Note

 

 

 

that only one 128-bit key will be generated in 128-bit

 

 

 

encryption mode.

 

 

 

Manually You may need to enter the WEP key

 

 

 

manually in case to join the existing wireless network.

 

 

 

However, if not, the Pass phrase method is

 

 

 

recommended. If you are not sure which way to use,

 

 

 

check with your network administrator.

 

 

 

Default Transmit Key Select one of the four keys to be

 

 

 

the encryption key you are going to use in the wireless

 

 

 

network. Make sure that all the points in a same

 

 

 

wireless network have the same encryption key.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beacon

It’s the signal sent periodically by wireless access

 

 

Interval:

point to provide synchronization among the stations in

 

 

 

wireless LAN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RTS Threshold:

RTS packet is use to account for potential hidden

 

 

 

stations. This feature allows you to set the size of RTS

 

 

 

packet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fragmentation

If the length of data frame needing transmission

 

 

Threshold:

exceeds the fragmentation threshold you set in the

 

 

 

column, the data frame will be fragmented. If there is

 

 

 

significant interference or high utilization in your

 

 

 

wireless network, a smaller fragmentation value can

 

 

 

increase the reliability of transmission. However, it is

 

 

 

more efficient to set a large fragment size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DTIM Interval:

DTIM is the acronym of Delivery Traffic Indication

 

 

 

Message. It determines how often the MAC Layer

 

 

 

forwards multicast traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basic Rate:

Leave “Mixed” as default setting to compatible with

 

 

 

different wireless standard or select other rates you

 

 

 

wish to use to connect with specific wireless standard

 

 

 

devices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transmission

Leave “Default” setting or select other speed you wish

 

 

Rate:

to use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preamble Type:

Leave “Dynamic” as default setting or select other type

 

 

 

to compatible with special settings your client devices

 

 

 

use.
