6.1.6 Advanced Option
There are a number of advanced options described in the following chart:
Advanced Options
Beacon interval 0 ~ 4095 The frequency in milliseconds in which the 802.11 beacon is transmitted by AP
RTS Threshold 0 ~ 3000 The number of bytes used for the RTS/CTS handshake boundary. When a
packet size is greater than the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS handshaking is
performed
DTIM 1~65535 The number of beacon intervals between successive Delivery Traffic
Identification Maps (DTIMs). This feature is used for Power Save Mode
Basic Rate for 802.11b
1 and 2 Mbps
1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps
The basic rates used and reported by the AP. The highest rate
specified is the rate that the AP uses when transmitting
broadcast/multicast and management frames
Basic Rate for 802.11a, 802.11g, or 802.11b/g mixed
Basic Rate
1 and 2 Mbps
1, 2, 5.5 , 6 , 11, 12, and
24 Mbps
The basic rates used and reported by the AP. The highest rate
specified is the rate that the AP uses when transmitting
broadcast/multicast and management frames
Preamble Short/Long Preamble Specifies whether frames are transmitted with the Short or Long
Preamble.
Broadcast SSID Enabled/Disabled When disabled, the AP hides the SSID in outgoing beacon frames
and client can not obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
Also, when it is disable, the AP doesn’t send probe responses to
probe requests with unspecified SSIDs.
6.2 Wireless Access Point – Security
Click the entry on the left hand navigation panel for
Wireless Access Point – Security. This directs you to the
Wireless Access Point – Security page.
The WH-9000MESH will display a default factory setting
of no encryption, but for security reasons will not
communicate to any clients unless the encryptions set by
administrator. You must select the wireless encryption that you want to use and click Apply. If you want
to leave the encryption set to No Encryption, chooses “None” and clicks Apply. A popup dialog box will
ask “are you sure you want to proceed to BYPASS mode?” Click OK to enter BYPASS mode with no
encryption setting.
6.2.1 WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was originally designed to provide the same level of security for
wireless LANs as that of a wired LAN but is not now state-of-the-art. But the use of WEP encryption can
