Key
For a 64-bit WEP key, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9 a-f). For a 128-bit
WEP key, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9 a-f). Clients of the wireless
network must configure their computers with the same key.
Pre-shared Key For WPA Pre-shared Key security mode, enter the pre-shared key.
Clients of the wireless network should configure their computers with the
same key.
Radius Server
Name
Advanced
For WPA Radius security mode, choose the Radius server name from
the list. The Radius server must be configured in User > RADIUS. For
more information, see “RADIUS servers” on page 381.
Open or close the Advanced settings section of the Wireless
Parameters. Change settings if needed to address performance
problems. Default values should work well for most situations. Advanced
settings are described below. (Access Point mode only).
Tx Power Set the transmitter power level. The default is the maximum power,
31dBm.
Beacon Interval Set the interval between beacon packets. Access Points broadcast
Beacons or Traffic Indication Messages (TIM) to synchronize wireless
networks. In an environment with high interference, decreasing the
Beacon Interval might improve network performance. In a location with
few wireless nodes, you can increase this value.
RTS Threshold
Fragmentation
Threshold
The Request to Send (RTS) threshold sets the time the unit waits for
Clear to Send (CTS) acknowledgement from another wireless device.
Set the maximum size of a data packet before it is broken into two or
more packets. Reducing the threshold can improve performance in
environments that have high interference.
Wireless MAC Filter
Go to System > Wireless > MAC Filter to allow or deny wireless access to
wireless clients based on the MAC address of the client wireless cards. For a
given wireless interface you can add MAC addresses and select allow or deny.
Select allow to only allow wireless access to the listed MAC addresses. Select
deny to stop the listed MAC addresses from accessing the wireless interface. If
you select deny only the listed MAC addresses are denied access. All other MAC
addresses can access the wireless interface.
