LABEL DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS
Threshold
The RTS (Request To Send) 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 turns off the
RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake.
Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It is
the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Enter a value between 256 and 2432.
WEP
Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless
network.
Select
Disable to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
Select
64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to use data encryption.
Key 1 to Key
4
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the wireless stations must
use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose
64-bit WEP , then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose
128-bit WEP , then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-
9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time. The
default key is key 1.

6.6 Configuring MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the Prestige to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices
(Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the Prestige (Deny Association). Every
Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the
factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to
know the MAC address of the devices to configure this screen.
