select the default (automatic) to let the Bridge decide which data rate to use.
Preamble Type: select a preamble type from the drop-down list, options available are:
long, short, or both.
Visibility Status: select Visible or Invisible. If Invisible is selected, the Access Point
is protected from a discovery or site survey, and all wireless clients must specify the
SSID to associate with the Access Point. If Visible is selected, the SSID of the Access
Point is broadcasted over the wireless network.
WEP enabled: place a check in this box if you would like to use WEP encryption. WEP
is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11 standard. WEP is designed to provide the
same level of security as a wired LAN.
WEP Key Length: select a WEP key length from the drop-down list. Options available
are 64-bit and 128-bit.
WEP Key 1~4: enter the WEP key. If you use WEP you must enter the same key into
the Access Points and Clients. For 64-bit keys you must enter 10 hex digits. For
128-bit keys you must enter 26 hex digits. A hex digit is defined as a number from 0
through 9 or letter from A through F. Leaving this field blank indicates a key of all zeros.
WEP key to use: select a WEP key to use from the drop-down list.
Maximum associated stations: this limits the number of stations that can associate with
the Access Point.
Fragmentation threshold: this value indicates how much of the Access Point’s
resources are devoted to recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default
setting. If you decrease this value too much you may encounter high packet error rates,
however if you increase it too much it will affect overall performance. Therefore, it is
recommended to leave this value at its default of 2346.
RTS threshold: transmitted wireless packets larger than this size will use the RTS/CTS
protocol to (a) maintain performance in noisy wireless networks and (b) prevent hidden
nodes from degrading performance.
Beacon period: this value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. The beacon
is a packet broadcasted by the Access Point to keep the network synchronized. A beacon
consists of the wireless LAN service area, IP address, broadcast destination address, time
stamp, Delivery Traffic Indication Map (DTIM) and Traffic Indicator Message (TIM).
DTIM Interval: this value indicates the interval of the Deliver Traffic Indicator Map
(DTIM). The DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered
broadcast of multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM interval value. Clients hear the beacons and then awaken to receive the broadcast
or multicast messages.
