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 Wireless Converter 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 Wireless Converter. If you select “Both”, the
wireless client can associate with this Wireless Converter 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 the RTS threshold, the Wireless
Converter will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
