LABEL DESCRIPTION
Authentication
Databases The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
user database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external
server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the Prestige should use
(first) to authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user
database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user database
on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is
not found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS
server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user database
on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If
the Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then checks the local
user database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found or password does
not match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the local user database
and the authentication fails.
Preamble Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short or
Dynamic. The default setting is Long. See the section on preamble for more
information.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the Prestige.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the Prestige.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices
to associate with the Prestige. The transmission rate of your Prestige might be
reduced.
Max. Frame Burst Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks.
Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the Prestige
transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature. The default is 650.
