Setting Frag
The Frag field allows you to implement fragmentation of packets, a technique 
that improves network performance in the presence of RF interference. You can 
set the fragment size by typing in the frame size threshold (in bytes). If a frame 
exceeds this value it will be fragmented. The fragmentation range is 256 to 2048 
bytes. Setting the fragmentation threshold to 2048 effectively disables 
fragmentation. 
To implement fragmentation, type the threshold value into the Frag box and 
select the Enable check box. 
5.2.6.
Setting RTS
The RTS field allows you to implement RTS/ CTS handshaking between the 
MicroRed node and another station on the wireless network. RTS/ CTS 
handshaking helps minimize collisions among hidden stations on a wireless 
network. An RTS/ CTS handshake involves the originating node sending a Ready 
To Send frame to its destination, then waiting for the destination to return a 
Clear To Send frame. The originating node will then send its data. RTS/ CTS 
operation adds to overhead but can help avoid collisions. When implementing 
RTS on the MicroRed access point RTS operation initiated if a packet exceeds the 
threshold configured in the RTS field. The valid range is 0 to 2347 bytes. (If RTS 
is enabled a starting value of 500 is recommended.) 
To implement RTS, type the threshold value into the RTS box and select the 
Enable check box. 
5.2.7.
Selecting Antenna Options
The Antenna drop down list allows you to select the A-Main or B-Aux
antenna. Since we are using A-Main to connect the Antenna port on enclosure, 
customer should not change this option. Default value is A-Main only.
5.2.8.
Setting Transmitted Power
The transmitted power of the node can be set by selecting preset values 
between 5 and 26. This is a custom scale (with no defined units) which simply 
represents minimum and maximum Transmitted Power of the currently selected 
wireless interface. To set transmitted power, select a value in the TxPower drop 
down list. 
5.3.
Configuring Security Settings 
From the Security  tab you can configure the security settings of the Selected 
Wireless Interface. From this tab you can set up 
x
None (no security) 
x
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 
x
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) 
x
ACL (Access control List) 
5.3.1.
Setting Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
Through the WEP tab you can configure the MicroRed node to encrypt/ decrypt 
data with keys based on the WEP protocol. To implement WEP, select WEP in 
the Selected Encryption Mode drop down list. 
To implement 64-bit encryption, select WEP-64 in the WEP Type drop down 
list.
