Fragmentation

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed

Threshold

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

 

between 800 and 2432.

WEP Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized

 

wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.

 

Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points

 

without any data encryption.

 

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.

 

 

Authentication

Select Auto, Open System or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.

Method

 

Key 1 to Key 4

If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters

 

(ASCII string) or 13 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). The hexadecimal

 

characters should be preceded by 0x for each key.

 

If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters

 

(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each

 

key.

 

There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by

 

unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the

 

same on the access points as they are on the wireless stations.

 

The preceding “0x” is entered automatically. You must configure all four keys, but

 

only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.

Enable Intra-

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select this

BSS Traffic

check box to enable Intra-BSS traffic.

Enable

Select this check box to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the G-1000 LED.

Breathing 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.

Preamble

Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short and

 

Dynamic.

 

See the section on preamble for more information.

 

 

802.11 Mode

Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to

 

associate with the G-1000.

 

Select 802.11g 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

Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks

Burst

(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.
