[. . . ] WPA: You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. # You can refer to the detail setting from chapter 3. 2. 7. Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of preamble block in the frames during the wireless communication. Short: It is suitable for high traffic wireless network Long: It can provide more reliable communication Transmit Rate When you enable the station mode selection to "802. 11b" and it allows you to select the speed of 1-11Mbps. When you enable the station mode selection to "802. 11g" and it allows you to select the speed of 1-54Mbps. Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the Access Point. Site Survey table: When this access point is in "Client-Infrastructure mode", it should associate with an access point and connect to your wireless LAN through the associated access point. "Wireless Site Survey" searches for all available access points near by. You can select one access point listed in this table. 3. 2. 2 AP Mode configuration This Access Point supports AP modes. The simplest way to build up a wireless LAN is to use "AP Mode". Parameter Mode Description 802. 11b mode: It allows to select the transmit rate up to 11Mbps 802. 11g mode: It allows to select the transmit rate up to 54Mbps Mixed mode: It provides best performance for 11g transmission when you enable the AP mode selection to "Mixed mode". SSID The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a WLAN. Please make sure that the SSID of all stations in the same WLAN network are the same. The default SSID is "default". Broadcast SSID It will respond to Broadcast SSID requests. If you enable this function, every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling "Response to Broadcast ESSID requests" can provide better security. Channel Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings. Channel 1-11 (North America) Channel 1-14 (Japan) Channel 1-13 (Europe) There are 14 channels available. Security Disable: Disable the security function. WEP: WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping. The Authentication type and WEP key of wireless stations must be the same with the Access Point. With this function, your data will be transmitted over the wireless network securely. WPA: You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. # You can refer to the detail setting from chapter 3. 2. 7. Advance setting Access Filter It provides more powerful features for you to configuring. This Access Point allows you to provide a Filter List of MAC addresses that are allowed associating with this AP. # You can refer to the detail setting from chapter 3. 2. 9. Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the Access Point. 3. 2. 3 Repeater Mode Configuration If you want an access point to bridge wired Ethernet network and provide connection service for other wireless station at the same time, you have to set the access point to "Repeater mode". [. . . ] Short: It is suitable for high traffic wireless network Long: It can provide more reliable communication Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the Access Point. 3. 2. 9 Access Filter This Access Point allows you to provide a Filter List of MAC addresses that are allowed/denied associating with this AP. Parameter MAC Filtering Filter Mode Description You can enable or disable the MAC Filtering function. If you select "Only deny PCs with MAC listed below to access this device", then all the PCs in the list will be denied to access and all other PCs will be allowed to access. If you select "Only allow PCs with MAC listed below to access this device", then all PCs in the list will be allowed to access but all other PCs will be denied to access. Filter List Enter the MAC address of PC that will be managed by the MAC Filtering rule. Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. [. . . ]
