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.

8.14 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the Prestige to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the Prestige (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure this screen.

To change your Prestige’s MAC filter settings, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED and then the MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.
