You can set the following operational parameters:
Fragmentation Threshold :
The threshold defines the maximum data
frame size your adapter will transmit. For those transmitted data frames
which are larger than the threshold value will be fragmented into several
frames. The slider bar allows you to adjust the fragmentation threshold.
When the packet error rate is high, you may set the threshold value to
transmit shorter frames.
RTS/CTS Threshold:
The threshold defines when will your adapter send
out RTS/CTS frames to reserve bandwidth for transmission. For those
transmitted data frames which are larger than the threshold value will cause
RTS/CTS frames be sent out to request bandwidth for the transmitted data
frames. By using the RTS/CTS function, you may request bandwidth from
AP to allow you have better chance to send out your data.
Security:
It’ s only applicable while WEP is enabled.
Deny Unencrypted Data Frames:
Check the box will deny to receive
unencrypted data frames to prevent from unknown intruders probe your
station.
Authentication Type:
Which authentication algorithm is used. The current
supported algorithms are Open System, and Shared Key. The algorithm will
be invoked when associated to Access Point. To associate to the desired
Access Point you must set the same algorithm as the one of the desired
Access Point.
