Authentication Type:
The authentication type defines configuration options for the sharing of
wireless networks to verify identity and access privileges of roaming network cards. You may choose
between Open System, Shared Key, and Both.
Open System:
Open System authentication is the simplest of the available authentication
algorithms. Essentially it is a null authentication algorithm. Any station that requests authentication
with this algorithm may become authenticated if Authentication Type at the recipient station is set to
Open System authentication. Open System authentication is the default authentication algorithm.
Shared Key:
Shared Key authentication supports authentication of STAs as either a member of
those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not.
Preamble:
The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the
Access Point and roaming Network Card. Long preamble ensure the network card to communicate
with access point more reliably. Verify that you have selected the appropriate preamble type and
click the Apply button to set it.
Note:
High network traffic areas should use the short preamble type.
Basic Rate:
The basic transfer rates should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.
Slower wireless networks should be set at 1-2 or 1-2-5.5-11(Mbps) while a faster wireless network
should be set at 1-2-5.11-22 (Mbps).
Supported Rate:
Select one of the wireless communications transfer rates, based upon the speed
of wireless adapters in WLAN.
Antenna Selection:
These settings determine whether either or both antennas will be used to
receive data. The default setting is Diversity. This setting is uses both antennae to help overcome
multi-path distortion.
SSID Broadcast:
Enable or disable a Service Set Identifier broadcast. When enabled, the SSID of
the WAP-1965 is sent to wireless enabled devices on the area. Set the WAP-1965
’
s SSID in the
Basic Setting screen. Enabling this function may cause unauthorized user to connect your wireless
networks.
4X mode:
Enable or disable 4X mode. Enable 4X mode will raise the wireless performance to
44Mbps equivalent. But, please be noted, both wireless AP and client must be using TI chipset and
configured 4X mode enabled to make it effective.
3.1.6 Security:
You can change Administrator ID, Password and set the MAC Filter settings in this option.
Password:
Enter the new password in the "AP Password New" field and again in the next field to
