Chapter 13 LAN Setup

103

Your G-1000 checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of allowed 
or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so MAC-
based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication. 

Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your G-1000.

Key 1 to Key 4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the G-1000 and the wireless stations must 

use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII characters 

or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). 
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 

26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").

Note: Enter “0x” before the key to denote a hexadecimal key. Don’t enter 
“0x” before the key to denote an ASCII key.

Authen. Method

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Auto, Open System Only or Shared Key Only and press 

[ENTER]. 
This field is N/A if WEP is not activated. 
If WEP encryption is activated, the default setting is Auto. 

Edit MAC Address Filter Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 3.5.1 - WLAN 

MAC Address Filter.

Edit Roaming 

Configuration

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display Menu 3.5.2 - Roaming 

Configuration.

Block Intra-BSS Traffic

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select No to allow 

Intra-BSS traffic, select Yes to block all Intra-BSS traffic. 

Preamble 

Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short and 

Dynamic. The default setting is Long.
See the section on preamble for more information.

802.11 Mode

 Select B Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the 

G-1000.
Select G Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the 

G-1000.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to 

associate with the G-1000. The transmission rate of your G-1000 might be reduced.

Max. Frame Burst 

Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks 

(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the 

performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks. Maximum 

Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the G-1000 transmits IEEE 

802.11g wireless traffic only. 
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800 recommended). 

Enter 0 to disable this feature.

Breathing LED

Select Yes to enable the Breathing LED, also known as the G-1000 LED.
The blue G-1000 LED is on when the G-1000 is on and blinks (or breaths) when data is 

being transmitted to/from its wireless stations. Clear the check box to turn this LED off 

even when the G-1000 is on and data is being transmitted/received.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to 

save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
