FIELD

DESCRIPTION

ESSID

The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) identifies the AP to which the wireless
stations associate. Wireless stations associating to the AP must have the same
ESSID. Enter a descriptive name of up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters.

Hide ESSID

Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes to hide the ESSID in the outgoing data frame so
an intruder cannot obtain the ESSID through passive scanning.

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

Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value
between 0 and 2432.

Fragment
Threshold

This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256
and 2432.

WEP

Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.

Default Key

Enter the key number (1 to 4) in this field. Only one key can be enabled at any one
time. This key must be the same on the Prestige and the wireless stations to
communicate.
