¾ Authentication Type:
Open System: with the same WEP key between the stations, the
stations don’t need to be authenticated, and this algorithm was set to
default.
Shared Key: with the same WEP key between the stations in this
Authentication algorithm, this type will use packets with encryption
by transferring a challenge text which will be acknowledge by both
side of the stations. In order to choose which authentication algorithm
will be used, you must know which one the station supports this
algorithm first.
¾ Fragment Threshold:
Fragmentation Threshold is a way of transmitting the packets that will
be fragmented. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2432. It is
recommended to fragment the packet when the link quality is bad, it is
to prevent the wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost.
¾ RTS/CTS Threshold:
The RTS/CTS Threshold is a station initiates the process by sending a
RTS frame, the other ends receives the RTS and responds with a CTS
frame, the station must receive a CTS frame before sending the data
frame. This is to prevent the collisions by each station. Choose a
setting within a range of 256 to 2432. It is recommended limiting a
long packet to prevent each station waiting too long to transmit a data.
