FIELD	DESCRIPTION
Key 1 to Key 4	The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the G-1000 and the wireless stations must
	use the same WEP key for data transmission.
	If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII characters
	or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
	If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or
	26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
	Note: Enter “0x” before the key to denote a hexadecimal key. Don’t enter
	“0x” before the key to denote an ASCII key.
Authen. Method	Press [SPACE BAR] to select Auto, Open System Only or Shared Key Only and press
	[ENTER].
	This field is N/A if WEP is not activated.
	If WEP encryption is activated, the default setting is Auto.
Edit MAC Address Filter	Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 3.5.1 - WLAN
	MAC Address Filter.
Edit Roaming	Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 3.5.2 - Roaming
Configuration	Configuration.
Block Intra-BSS Traffic	Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select No to allow
	Intra-BSS traffic, select Yes to block all Intra-BSS traffic.
Preamble	Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short and
	Dynamic. The default setting is Long.
	See the section on preamble for more information.
802.11 Mode	Select B Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
	G-1000.
	Select G Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
	G-1000.
	Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
	associate with the G-1000. The transmission rate of your G-1000 might be reduced.
Max. Frame Burst	Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
	(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
	performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks. Maximum
	Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the G-1000 transmits IEEE
	802.11g wireless traffic only.
	Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800 recommended).
	Enter 0 to disable this feature.
Breathing LED	Select Yes to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the G-1000 LED.
	The blue G-1000 LED is on when the G-1000 is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is
	being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check box to turn this LED off
	even when the G-1000 is on and data is being transmitted/received.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to
save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.

13.3.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter

Your G-1000 checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so MAC- based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.

Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your G-1000.
