DESCRIPTION

 

 

Adapter Setting

 

 

 

Transfer Rate

In most networking scenarios, the factory default Fully Auto setting is the most

 

efficient and allows your AG-120 to operate at the highest possible transmission

 

(data) rate.

 

If you want to select a specific transmission rate, select one that the AP or peer

 

wireless device supports.

Preamble Type

Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Select the preamble

 

type that the AP uses.

 

Short Preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means

 

more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless adapters

 

support Long Preamble, but not all support short preamble.

 

Select Auto to have the AG-120 automatically use short preamble when all access

 

point or wireless stations support it; otherwise the AG-120 uses long preamble.

 

Note: The AG-120 and the access point or wireless stations MUST

 

use the same preamble mode in order to communicate.

Power Saving

Select Enabled to save power (especially for notebook computers). This forces

Mode

the AG-120 to go to sleep mode when it is not transmitting data.

 

When you select Disabled, the AG-120 will never go to sleep mode.

 

 

WMM QoS

WMM QoS allows you to prioritize wireless traffic according to the delivery

 

requirements of individual services. To do this, you must enable WMM QoS on

 

both the AP and wireless clients.

 

Select this check box to enable WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service)

 

on the AG-120.

Setup Key

Enter the same setup key (up to eight printable characters) as the ZyXEL AP or

 

wireless router to which you want to associate. The default OTIST setup key is

 

"01234567".

 

Note: If you change the OTIST setup key on the ZyXEL AP or

 

wireless router, you must also make the same change here.

Start

Click Start to encrypt the wireless security data using the setup key and have the

 

ZyXEL AP or wireless router set your AG-120 to use the same wireless settings as

 

the ZyXEL AP or wireless router. You must also activate and start OTIST on the

 

ZyXEL AP or wireless router all within three minutes. See Section 3.3 on page 41

 

for more information.
