IEEE 802.11b). At the receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only from the IEEE 802.11b (High-Rate) standard and not from the original IEEE 802.11. That means that stations using Short-Preamble cannot communicate with stations implementing the original version of the protocol.

Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the keys entered from this panel.

uEncryption: Enable or disable WEP encryption.

uAuth. Mode:

ØOpen Authentication: With this setting, the station in the WLAN can receives and transmits data from Access Point (null authentication).

ØShared Authentication: With this setting, allows communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings.

ØAuto Switch: With this setting, stations can communicate with the Access Point either with or without data encryption. It will detect the AP that it connected is using which Authentication mode and use the same mode to communicate.

uWEP Key options:

ØDefault Key: There are 4 keys available for the WEP function. Please select one of them for WEP to operate.

ØNetwork Key: You can define the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Key values by yourself.

ØKey Length – Please select which WEP key mode you want to use. There are
