46
Fragment
Threshold
2346
Sets the maximum packet size to send a packet after dividing into small pieces. (Range: 256 ~ 2346
bytes)
This setting transmits a packet after dividing into small pieces.
Communication overhead is increased but communication error can be reduced in serious interference or
noise environment.
In most cases, this setting is not used.
The setting as 2346 disables this function.
Wireless
Roaming
Disable
Set whether to use of the Roaming functions.
•Enable : Use Roaming function.
•Disable : Do not use Roaming function.
Roaming
Threshold
75 (dbm)
(Option: 61~89 dbm)
If you have different Access Points and have enabled roaming, you should also set carefully the roaming
threshold, which is the point (in signal strength) at which Eddy-WiFi search for a new Access Point. If
you set it too low, Eddy-WiFi will spend to much time with a non optimal AP (getting a poorer
throughput), and if you set it too high the card will waste time searching for a new AP too often.
The represented value is absolute. The real value should be the represented value * (-).
Authentication
Mode
OPEN
(Option: OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK, WPANONE)
An authentication mode defines the procedure that the 802.11 device uses when it authenticates and
associates with an access point.
•OPEN : Specifies IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication.
•SHARED : Specifies IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication that uses a preshared WEP key.
•WPA-PSK : Specifies WPA security. Authentication is performed between the supplicant and authenticator
over IEEE 802.1X. Encryption keys are dynamic and are derived through the preshared key used by the
supplicant and authenticator.
•WPA2-PSK : Specifies WPA2 security. Authentication is performed between the supplicant and
authenticator over IEEE 802 1X. Encryption keys are dynamic and are derived through the preshared key
used by the supplicant and authenticator.
•WPA-NONE : Specifies WPA security. Specifies the use of a preshared key without IEEE 802.1X
authentication. Encryption keys are static and are derived through the preshared key. This mode is
applicable only to ad hoc network types.
Encryption Type NONE
(Option: NONE, WEP, TKIP, AES)
Encryption modes define the set of cipher suites that can be enabled on the 802.11 device.
•NONE : Not used.
•WEP : Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the RC4-based algorithm specified in the IEEE 802.11
specification.
•TKIP : Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the RC4-based cipher suite based on the algorithms
defined in the WPA and IEEE 802.11i specifications.
•AES : The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) defines an encryption algorithm in FIPS PUB 197.
Key Index 1
Selects the index of the key to be used from the created keys.
(Option: 1, 2, 3 and 4)
Key None
Selects WEP 64-bit (Enter a Hex Key value directly).
(Example: 3132333435)
Selects WEP 128-bit (Enter a Hex Key value directly)
(Example: 31323334353637383940414243)
Password None
Password for the TKIP encryption type.
(Up to 64 bytes)
