3.1.4 Encryption

Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption.

WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from

this panel.

There are four 10 Hex digit encryption keys value available for the WEP. You can define the

encryption key values of their own choice.

Enable the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) option in order to activate WEP encryption for

transmissions between the stations and the Access Point. WEP is an authentication

algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping.

3.1.5 Advanced

There are Preamble Type, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS/CTS Threshold setting

under this mode.

u Preamble Type (Short/Long): Preamble is the first sub field of PPDU, which is the

appropriate frame format for transmission to PHY (Physical layer). There are two

options, Short Preamble and Long Preamble. The Short Preamble option improves

throughput performance.

u Fragmentation Threshold: The size at which packets will be fragmented. Choose a

setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
