DESCRIPTION
Wireless LAN Setup
ESSID
(Extended Service Set IDentification) The ESSID identifies the Service Set the
station is to connect to. Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have
the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name for the wireless LAN. This field can be
up to 32 characters.
Channel ID
This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be
necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems
with another nearby access point. The default wireless Channel is 1. Choose the
operating frequency/channel for your particular region from the drop down list.

RTS/CTS
(Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS
handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS
handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC
service data unit) size shall have the effect of turning off the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this attribute to zero shall have the effect of turning on the RTS/CTS
handshake. Enter a value between
0
and
2432
in the Threshold field or select
Disable. 2432 is the default.
Disable Select this option to disable RTS/CTS.
Threshold Select this option to set the RTS/CTS threshold.
Fragmentation
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. Data will be transmitted in fragments with its size not exceeding this
value. Enter a value between
256
and
2432
. The value of this attribute shall never
be less than
256
. 2432 is the default.
Disable Select this option to disable Fragmentation.
Threshold Select this option to set the Fragmentation threshold.
WEP-Based Security
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from
accessing data transmitted over the network, the wireless SOHO Firewall gateway
offers a data encryption, known as WEP to help encrypt wireless data transmitted
via wireless medium. Select this option to allow data encryption. You may then
choose 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP. Although WEP is functional at 5.5 and 11 Mb/s,
