Chapter 5 Wireless LAN (P-335WT)

The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the AP to give exclusive access to devices 
(Allow ) or exclude them from accessing the AP (Deny ). 

If you hide the ESSID, then the Prestige cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local 
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of “hiding” the Prestige may be inconvenient for 
some valid WLAN clients. If you don’t hide the ESSID, at least you should change the default 
one.

G-plus is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. G-plus combines multiple 
frames into a larger frame size. This increases wireless transmission speeds by allowing larger 
frames (up to 4 KB) to be sent. 

G-plus speed applies only to unicast traffic (not broadcast or multicast). G-plus is 
automatically disabled if wireless transmission speeds fall below 11 Mbps.

To automatically configure the wireless security settings and set the wireless client to use the 
same 

SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK 

settings, use the OTIST setup wizard or the advanced 

wireless OTIST screen. 

To manually configure the security setting, enter the WEP or WPA-PSK keys and SSID in the 
wireless screen. After that, you can enter the same settings in the wireless client or run OTIST 
to have the wireless client acquire the SSID and key automatically. 

If you change the SSID or the keys after OTIST, you need to run OTIST again or enter them 
manually in the wireless client. 

Note: You must activate and start OTIST on both the Prestige and the wireless client 
at the same time.

See the wireless client Quick Start Guide for information on wireless client OTIST setup. For 
more information on OTIST see

1 Configure the SSID and WEP in the Wireless screen. If you configure WEP, you can’t 

configure WPA or WPA-PSK. 

2 Use the MAC Filter screen to restrict access to your wireless network by MAC address. 

3 Configure the RADIUS authentication database settings in the Wireless screen.
