General Specifications | Model MA401 Wireless PC Card |
|
|
Authentication Algorithm | Open System: No secret key is shared between the sender and recipient. |
| Each party generates its own key and asks the receiver to |
| accept the key. |
| Shared Key: Both sender and recipient share a secret key. |
|
|
Fragmentation Threshold | This is the packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the |
| size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragmentation |
| Threshold value must be larger than RTS Threshold value. The default |
| value for Fragmentation Threshold is 2432. |
|
|
Power save mode | Power saving mode. This enables the wireless node to control its wireless |
| power consumption. The default setting for Power Save mode is Disabled. |
|
|
Preamble Mode | A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to lock into the received bit |
| patterns more easily. A short transmit preamble provides better |
| performance. The default value is Long Tx Preamble. |
|
|
RTS Threshold | The packet size that the wireless node uses to determine if it should use |
| the CSMA/CD mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet |
| transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the |
| transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited |
| for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the |
| transmitting station sends out a RTS packet to the receiving station, waits |
| for the receiving station to send back a CTS packet before sending the |
| actual packet data. The default value for RTS Threshold is 2432. |
