9
frag Threshold (default parameter: 2346)
9
SSID (default parameter: wireless)
9
Station Name (default parameter: ap)
Step 3 Click radio button to disable WEP or enable 64/128 bit WEP
services (default parameter: disable). If WEP is enabled, input

Step 4 Click FINISH at the bottom of this page to complete the
modification.
The following gives more info about the parameters set in the Wireless LAN
information page to users.
„
rts Threshold
The setting determines the packet size, ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes, at
which the bridge issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet.
A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client
devices are associating with the access point, or in areas where the clients
are far apart and can detect only the bridge and not each other.
„
frag Threshold
The setting determines the size, ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes, at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a
great deal of radio interference.
„
SSID
The Service Set ID (SSID) can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry
from 2 to 32 characters long. This string functions as a password to join the
radio network.
„
Station Name
Enter any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry.
„
WEP Key
Enter 1~15 characters for 64 and 128 bits WEP KEY encryption, and then
click KeyGen to generate the WEP64 & WEP128 key patterns
automatically.
„
WEP
User can Disable or enable 64/128 bit WEP services here.
„
Default Key
Select an encryption key from the pull down menu.
„
WEP64 Key1~4 & WEP128 Key1~4
The keys in these fields can be generated automatically by KeyGen
function. For 40-bit encryption, enter 10 hexadecimal digits; for 128-bit
encryption, enter 26 hexadecimal digits. Hexadecimal digits include the
