Wireless ADSL Router User Manual
19
Broadcast SSID Select No to hide the SSID such that a station can not obtain
the SSID through passive scanning. Select Yes to make the SSID visible so a
station can obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
Channel ID The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless
devices is called a channel.
5.6.1. WEP
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~Key#4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ADSL Router
and the wireless clients must use the same WEP key for data transmission.If you
chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 10 hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "A-F") preceded
by 0x for each key (1-4). If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 26 hexadecimal
digits ("0-9", "AF") preceded by 0x for each key (1-4).The values must be set up
exactly the same on the Access Points as they are on the wireless client stations.
The same value must be assigned to Key 1 on both the access point (your ADSL
Router) and the client adapters, the same value must be assigned to Key 2 on
both the access point and the client stations and so on, for all four WEP keys.
5.6.2. WPA-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access, pre-shared key. Encrypts data frames before transmitting
over the wireless network.
Pre-shared Key The Pre-shared Key are used to encrypt data. Both the ADSL
Router and the wireless clients must use the same WPA-PSK key for data
transmission.
5.6.3. Advanced setting
Beacon Interval The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of
the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast
by the Router to synchronize the wireless network.
RTS 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.
Fragment 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.
DTIM This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM).
802.11b/g
5.6.4. MAC Filter
You can allow or deny a list of MAC addresses associated with the wireless
stations access to the ADSL Router.
