Wireless LAN Access Point Configuration

Parameter

Description

Authentication Type

There are two authentication types: “Open System” and “Shared Key”.

When you select “Open System”, wireless stations can associate with

this access point without WEP encryption. When you select “Shared

Key”, you should also setup WEP key in the “Encryption” page and

wireless stations should use WEP encryption in the authentication phase

to associate with this access point. If you select “Auto”, the wireless client

can associate with this access point by using any one of these two

authentication types.

Fragment Threshold

“Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet during the

fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will

result in bad performance.

RTS Threshold

When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the access point

will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
