separation beginning at the first allowed channel for the country (for the US and most of
Europe, channel 1, 6 & 11 are used.)
Make sure that Palm Server Router sharing the same Channel (or Channels close in
number) is as far away from each other as possible, based on the results of your site
survey of the facility. You can find the site survey utility in the Palm Server Router’s setup
CD. By default, the channel is “
6
”.
6. Hide SSID
This term is used to increase the security level. Check it to hide SSID information against
the wireless clients that are sniffing radio. By default, this option is inactive.
7. TxPreamble
The default
TxPreamble
setting is Long (if you use high traffic networks should use the
shorter preamble type)
8. Beacon Interval
Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify
a beacon interval value. Default (100) is recommended.
9. RTS Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2346 are
recommended
10. Authentication Mode
Four authentication methods are supported: Open and Shared. Select
Open
, your
wireless network would be intruded by anonymous. Not only your network bandwidth
would be shared; but also transmitting data might be intercepted. Select
Shared
function
and it can be taken effect.
11. Encrypt Type - WEP
There are two types of encrypt type can be selected, including WEP and WPA.
WEP Encryption:
Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you do
not need this feature, select “None” to skip the following setting. The Palm Server Router
supports both 64-bit and 128-bit encryption using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
algorithm. Select the type of encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure one to
four WEP Keys. The “1280bit” method is more secure than the “64-bit”.
Key Type:
For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals
leading by
0x
can be entered. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal digits leading by
0x
can be entered.
Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note that all wireless
devices must support the same WEP encryption bit size and have the same key. Four keys can be
entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or
Hexadecimal. Select the item from drop-down list you wish to use.
Pass phrase:
Automatically generate four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26
