7.2.3 Restricted Access
The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the AP to give exclusive access to devices
(Allow Association) or exclude them from accessing the AP (Deny Association).
7.2.4 Hide Prestige Identity
If you hide the ESSID, then the Prestige cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of “hiding” the Prestige may be inconvenient for
some valid WLAN clients. If you don’t hide the ESSID, at least you should change the default
one.
7.2.5 G-plus
G-plus is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. G-plus combines multiple
frames into a larger frame size. This increases wireless transmission speeds by allowing larger
frames (up to 4 KB) to be sent.
G-plus speed applies only to unicast traffic (not broadcast or multicast). G-plus is
automatically disabled if wireless transmission speeds fall below 11 Mbps.
7.2.6 Using OTIST
To automatically configure the wireless security settings and set the wireless client to use the
same
SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK settings, use the OTIST setup wizard or the advanced
wireless OTIST screen.
To manually configure the security setting, enter the WEP or WPA-PSK keys and SSID in the
wireless screen. After that, you can enter the same settings in the wireless client or run OTIST
to have the wireless client acquire the SSID and key automatically.
If you change the SSID or the keys after OTIST, you need to run OTIST again or enter them
manually in the wireless client.
Note: You must activate and start OTIST on both the Prestige and the wireless client
at the same time.
See the wireless client Quick Start Guide for information on wireless client OTIST setup. For
more information on OTIST see
Activating OTIST on page 125 .
7.3 Configuring Wireless LAN on the Prestige
1 Configure the SSID and WEP in the Wireless screen. If you configure WEP, you can’t
configure WPA or WPA-PSK.
2 Use the MAC Filter screen to restrict access to your wireless network by MAC address.
3 Configure the RADIUS authentication database settings in the Wireless screen.
