The 64-bit encryption is currently the 802.11 standard. The 128-bit
encryption is supported by equipment from a limited number of vendors.
Note that the “user-controlled” portion of the 64-bit encryption is just 40
bits (10 Hex digits) and that for the 128-bit encryption is just 104 bits (26
Hex digits)—3-bytes of the encryption key are internal to the encryption
algorithm.
WEP key:
The keys allows hex number inputs with varying length depending on the
type of WEP being enabled i.e. 64 or128bit WEP
Advanced
On this page (Figure 7) you can configure the advanced 802.11g settings such
as Bridging, Advance Wireless Settings, and Firmware Upgrade option.
1. Bridging
To activate the Bridging mode, the user needs to select WLAN Bridge
option to allow multiple clients connecting to an ACR-201-G unit. If WLAN
Client option is selected, the ACR-201-G unit can connect to only a single
client.
2. Advance Wireless
Fragmentation threshold
Transmitted wireless packets larger than this size will be fragmented to
maintain performance in noisy wireless networks. In the presence of
hostile RF environment, frames longer than this threshold number, in
bytes, are divided prior to transmission into one or more fragments less
than or equal in length to the fragmentation threshold. The default value is
set at 2346 bytes. This is the maximum 802.11 data frame size, such that
no frames are ever fragmented. The valid range of fragmentation
threshold is 1 to 3000.
