LAN

enable the wireless LAN. Select the check box to enable the wireless LAN.

ESSID

The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentification) is a unique name to identify the

 

Prestige in the wireless LAN. Wireless stations associating to the Prestige must

 

have the same ESSID.

 

Enter a descriptive name of up to 32 printable characters (including spaces;

 

alphabetic characters are case-sensitive).

Hide ESSID

Select Yes to hide the ESSID so a station cannot obtain the ESSID through AP

 

scanning.

 

Select No to make the ESSID visible so a station can obtain the ESSID through AP

 

scanning.

Channel ID

The radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11 b or g wireless devices is called a

 

channel.

 

Select a channel from the drop-down list box.

 

 

RTS/CTS

The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) is for enabling RTS/CTS.

Threshold

Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.

 

Setting this value to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit)

 

size turns off RTS/CTS. Setting this value to zero turns on RTS/CTS.

 

Select the check box to change the default value and enter a new value between 0

 

and 2432.

Fragmentation

This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed

Threshold

messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.

 

Select the check box to change the default value and enter a value between 256

 

and 2432.
