LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable Wireless
LAN
You should configure some wireless security (see Figure 28 on page 93 ) when you
enable the wireless LAN. Select the check box to enable the wireless LAN.
ESSID The ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentification) is a unique name to identify the
Prestige in the wireless LAN. Wireless stations associating to the Prestige must
have the same ESSID.
Enter a descriptive name of up to 32 printable characters (including spaces;
alphabetic characters are case-sensitive).
Hide ESSID Select Yes to hide the ESSID so a station cannot obtain the ESSID through AP
scanning.
Select No to make the ESSID visible so a station can obtain the ESSID through AP
scanning.
Channel ID The radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11 b or g wireless devices is called a
channel.
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
RTS/CTS
Threshold
The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) is for enabling RTS/CTS.
Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this value to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit)
size turns off RTS/CTS. Setting this value to zero turns on RTS/CTS.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a new value between 0
and 2432.
Fragmentation
Threshold
This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a value between 256
and 2432.
