BEC 5102 Series User Manual

30Wireless LANAccess Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you do not have any wireless, both802.11g and 802.11b, device in your network, select Deactived.SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguishedfrom another. For security propose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name to theAP which is already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and mustnot excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as thedevice, in order to get connected to your network.Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSIDthrough passive scanning. Select No to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain theSSID through passive scanning.Channel ID: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices iscalled a channel. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.Authentication Type: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing datatransmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known asWEP.&WPA. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives toselect from: 64-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP64.You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The defaulttype of wireless is disabled and to allow all wireless computers to communicate with theaccess points without any data encryptionAdvanced SettingBeacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of thebeacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Routerto synchronize the wireless network.RTS/CTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) forenabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will performthe RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MACservice data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turnson the RTS/CTS handshake Enter a value between 1500 and 2347..Fragmentation Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentationboundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.Enter a value between 256 and 2346.DMIT: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery TrafficIndication Message (DTIM).802.11b/g: The default setting is 802.11b+g (Mixed mode).
