Chapter 5 Access Point Mode Configuration
Output Power
Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook
computers). This control changes the strength of the AG-320’s antenna gain or
transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units
compared to milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves
the range of the signal for better communications.
Select
High
to set the AG-320’s antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.
Select
Medium-High
to set the AG-320’s antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.
Select
Medium-Low
to set the AG-320’s antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.
Select
Low
to set the AG-320’s antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows for the
least power consumption.

(for example, MyKey) for ASCII key type.
If you select
128 Bits
in the
WEP
field,
Enter either 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (for
example, 00112233445566778899AABBCC) for HEX key type
or
Enter 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9”
(for example, MyKey12345678) for ASCII key type.
If you select
256 Bits
in the
WEP
field,
Enter either 58 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (for
example,
0000111122223333444455556666777788889999AAAABBBBCCCC000011)
for HEX key type
or
Enter 29 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9"
(for example, MyKey111122223333444455556678) for ASCII key type.
Note:
The values for the WEP keys must be set up exactly the
same on all wireless devices in the same wireless LAN.
ASCII WEP keys are case sensitive.
