Chapter 29 Wireless LAN Setup

The next layer of security is MAC address filter. To allow a wireless station to associate with 
the Prestige, enter the MAC address of the wireless LAN adapter on that wireless station in the 
MAC address table.

Channel ID 

Press [SPACE BAR] to select a channel. This allows you to set the operating frequency/
channel depending on your particular region. 

RTS 
Threshold

RTS(Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) enables RTS/CTS handshake. Data 
with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting 
this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit) size turns 
off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS 
handshake. Enter a value between 0 and 2432.

Frag. 
Threshold 

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. 
It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 
2432.

WEP 

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent wireless stations 
from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network. 

Select Disable allows wireless stations to communicate with the access points without 
any data encryption. 

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to for the type of data encryption. WEP causes 
performance degradation.

Default Key

Enter the number of the key as an active key. 

Key 1 to Key 
4 

If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 5 characters or 10 
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key (1-4).
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters or 26 
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key (1-4). 

There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by 
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same on 
the access points as they are on the wireless stations.
