steady-state demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different

preambles and headers are defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and header,

which interoperate with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as described in

IEEE 802.11), and an optional Short Preamble and header (as described in IEEE 802.11b).

At the receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and

delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead

and, thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is

supported only from the IEEE 802.11b (High-Rate) standard and not from the original

IEEE 802.11. That means that stations using Short-Preamble cannot communicate with

stations implementing the original version of the protocol.

Support Band: The supported bands of WL-U356L are 11B, 11G. With all options selected,

WL-U356L can keep the highest flexibility when making connection to AP. If you fix the WLAN

band for both AP and WL-U356L, it can skip the initial negotiation time.

Additional security can be achieved by using any of the following encryption methods: WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA and WPA2 ( Wi-Fi Protected Access ), and WPA-PSK and

WPA2-PSK ( Pre Shared Key ).

When “WEP” is selected in “Encryption” field, WEP encryption is activated. Please enter

the appropriate parameters to these fields.
