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 Prestige 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. The default is 650.

Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each Authentication
Method/ key management protocol type. You enter manual keys by first selecting 64-bit WEP or 128-bit
WEP from the WEP Encryption field and then typing the keys (in ASCII or hexadecimal format) in the key
text boxes. MAC address filters are not dependent on how you configure these security features.
