DESCRIPTION

Enable Wireless

LAN

The wireless LAN is turned off by default, before you enable the wireless LAN you

should configure some security by setting MAC filters and/or 802.1x security;

otherwise your wireless LAN will be vulnerable upon enabling it. 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 (up to 32 characters).

Hide ESSID

Select Yes to hide the ESSID in so a station cannot obtain the ESSID through

passive scanning.
Select No to make the ESSID visible so a station can obtain the ESSID through

passive scanning.

Channel ID

The radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11b 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) for enabling RTS/CTS

handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS

handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC

service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to

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

Fragmentation

Threshold

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed

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