The screen varies depending on what you select in the 

 field.

Select 

 to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points without any data 

encryption.

Note: If you do not enable any wireless security on your PLA, your network is accessible to any 

wireless networking device that is within range.

802.11 Mode

You can select from the following:

•

: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate 

with the PLA. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at the data rates supported 

by IEEE 802.11b.

•

: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device. IEEE 

802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the PLA only when they use the short 

preamble type.

•

: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate 

with the PLA. The PLA adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the wireless 

standard supported by the wireless devices.

•

: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. This can 

increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g clients will not be able to 

connect to the PLA. I

•

: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate 

with the PLA. The transmission rate of your PLA might be reduced.

•

: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to 

associate with the PLA. The transmission rate of your PLA might be reduced.

Security Mode

Select

, or 

 to add security on this wireless network. The wireless 

clients which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as this 
device. After you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen. See 

 for detailed information on different security modes. Or you can select 

 to allow any client to associate this network without authentication.

Note: If the WPS function is enabled (default), only
