Intellinet Network Solutions 530361 user manual Change is recommended

RTS Threshold: This is the minimum packet size required for an RTS

(request to send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is

not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network.

Select a setting within a range of 0 to 2347 bytes. NOTE: A minor

change is recommended.

Fragment Threshold: This value defines the maximum size of packets;

any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented. If you’ve 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.

NOTE: A minor change is recommended.

Profile Authentication and Encryption (Security)

Authentication Type: This pull-down menu setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that the adapter is intended to connect.

•Open: No authentication is needed within the wireless network.

•Shared: Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP key identified) are allowed to connect to each other.

•LEAP: This is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol with many of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for use only when a limited vendor choice for client, access point and server products is not a concern. When you’ve set up LEAP authentication, you need to enter the username and password of your computer.

•WPA: WPA provides a scheme of mutual authentication using either

IEEE 802.1x/Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication
