Authentication Type
When the type is set to Auto, either Open
System or Shared Key authentication can be
used.
•
With Open System authentication, the
sender and the recipient do not use a WEP
key for authentication.
•
With Shared Key authentication, the sender
and recipient use a WEP key for
authentication.
Default: Auto
Transmission Rate
The rate of data transmission. Choose an
appropriate setting based on the speed of your
wireless network(s). Select Auto to have the
WRP400 automatically use the fastest possible
data rate and to enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best
possible connection speed between the
WRP400 and a wireless client.
Default: Auto
CTS Protection Mode
Clear-To-Send Protection Mode. This function
boosts the ability of the WRP400 to catch all
Wireless-G transmissions but will severely
decrease performance. When this setting is on
Auto, the WRP400 switches to CTS Protection
Mode whenever your Wireless-G devices are
experiencing severe problems and are not able
to transmit to the WRP400 in an environment
with heavy 802.11b traffic.
Default: Auto
Beacon Interval
The interval in milliseconds when the WRP400
transmits a beacon, which is a packet broadcast
to synchronize the wireless network(s). Enter a
value between 20 and 65,535 milliseconds.
Default: 100 Milliseconds
