Cong - Authentication
This tab allows you to set the security settings
to match those of your AP. It is congurable
only if you have set Network Authentication to
WPA or WPA2 in Cong-Encryption tab.
Authentication Type
The authentication type methods include:
• PEAP:
PEAP (Protec t ed Extensible
Authentication Protocol) authentication is a version of Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication between a wireless client
and a server that resides at the network operations center.
• TLS:
TLS (Transport Layer Security) authentication is used to create an
encrypted tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner similar
to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This
method uses digital certicates to verify the identity of a client and server
.
• TTLS:
TTLS authentication uses certicates to authenticate the server, while
maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication
and a shared condentiality for session WEP key.

link on Config-Basic page to
show this tab. This tab allows you to set up
additional parameters for the wireless Adapter.
We recommend using the default values for all
items in this window.
RTS Threshold (0-2347)
The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
function is used to minimize collisions among
wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled,
the router refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake
is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specic packet size threshold. The
default value (2347) is recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346)
Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that
are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specic
packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN,
experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame
transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
