User's Manual

Advanced Settings
Authentication Type
The device supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”.
When you select “Share Key”, you need to setup “WEP” key in “Security” page
(See the next section). The default setting is “Auto”. The wireless client can
associate with the device by using one of the two types.
Fragment Threshold
The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are
fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in
areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio
interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance.
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a
request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting
can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device,
or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not
each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
Data Rate
The standard IEEE 802.11b/11g supports 1, 2, 5.5, 11 / 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48
and 54 Mbps data rates. You can choose the rate that the device uses for data
transmission. The default value is “auto”. The device will use the highest
possible selected transmission rate.
Beacon Interval
The beacon interval is the amount of time between access point beacons in
mini-seconds. The default beacon interval is 100.
Broadcast SSID
Broadcasting the SSID will let your wireless clients find the device automatically.
If you are building a public Wireless Network, disable this function can provide
better security. Every wireless stations located within the coverage of the device
must connect this device by manually configure the SSID in your client settings.
