Table 13 Wireless: Access Point NOA-3570
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Key 1 to Key 4 If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters
(ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each
key.
If you chose
128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters
(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each
key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the
same on the access points as they are on the wireless stations.
The preceding “0x” is entered automatically. You must configure all four keys, but
only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
Enable Intra-
BSS Traffic Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable Intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to the NOA-3570 to
communicate with each other.
Disable Intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations to communicate with the
wired network, not with each other.
Enable
Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) (R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -
compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any
two stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the
NOA-3570.
Output Power Set the output power of the NOA-3570 in this field. If there is a high density of APs
within an area, decrease the output power of the NOA-3570 to reduce interference
with other APs. The options are
21dBm , 19dBm , 17dBm or 15dBm .
Preamble Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more
time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support long
preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select
Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless adapters
support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless networks.
Select
Short preamble if you are sure the wireless adapters support it, and to
provide more efficient communications.
Select
Dynamic to have the NOA-3570 automatically use short preamble when all
wireless clients support it, otherwise the NOA-3570 uses long preamble.
Note: The NOA-3570 and the wireless stations MUST use the same
preamble mode in order to communicate.
802.11 Mode
Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the NOA-3570.
Select
802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the NOA-3570.
Select
Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the NOA-3570. The transmission rate of your NOA-3570
might be reduced.
Max. Frame
Burst Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks.
Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the NOA-
3570 transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature.
