DESCRIPTION

 

 

Authentication

The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local

Databases

user database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external

 

server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the Prestige should use

 

(first) to authenticate a wireless station.

 

Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding

 

database correctly first.

 

Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user

 

database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password.

 

Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the

 

specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.

 

Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database

 

on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is

 

not found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS

 

server.

 

Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database

 

on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If

 

the Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then checks the local

 

user database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found or password does

 

not match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the local user database

 

and the authentication fails.

 

 

Preamble

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

 

Dynamic. The default setting is Long. 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 Prestige.

 

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

 

associate with the Prestige.

 

Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices

 

to associate with the Prestige. The transmission rate of your Prestige 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 Prestige

 

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. The default is 650.
