or certificate. It is more secure than WEP encryption.

Encryption: WPA2-AES / WPA2-Mixed

The two most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are:

pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency. Pre-authentication

provides a way to establish a PMK security association before a client associates. The advantage is that the

client reduces the time that it's disconnected to the network.

Fragment Threshold

Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high

traffic flows along in the wireless network. If your 802.11g Wireless LAN PC

Card often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enter new

AirLive WL_5470AP User’s Manual

Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from

256 to 2346. The default value is 2346.

RTS Threshold

RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node”

problem. “Hidden Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of

the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they

are hidden nodes for each other. When a station starts data transmission with

the Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the

wireless medium. When these two stations send data at the same time, they

might collide when arriving simultaneously at the Access Point. The collision

will most certainly result in a loss of messages for both stations.

Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to prevent data

collisions. When you enable RTS Threshold on a suspect “hidden

station”, this station and its Access Point will use a Request to Send

(RTS). The station will send an RTS to the Access Point, informing

that it is going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point

will respond with a CTS message to all station within its range to

notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will also confirm the

requestor station that the Access Point has reserved it for the

Beacon Interval

Data Rate

time-frame of the requested transmission.

If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The

RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set..

The default value is 2347.

Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead

that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing

a remedy.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter

inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are

recommended.

Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before

a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to

know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are

buffered frames at the access point).

By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible rate for

transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among the following options:

Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the default setting is Auto

which is the best choice. When Auto is enabled the transmission rate will

select the optimal rate. If obstacles or interference are present, the system will

automatically fall back to a lower rate.

preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to synchronize the

"noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type should be set to Long

Preamble. The Short Preamble is intended for applications where minimum

overhead and maximum performance is desired. If in a "noisy" network

environment, the performance will be decreased.

Select enabled to allow all the wireless stations to detect the SSID of this

Access Point.

IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is designed for the enforcement of unique

association throughout a ESS (Extended Service Set) and a secure exchange

of station’s security context between current access point (AP) and new AP

during handoff period.

The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and

802.11g operation. If there is no such kind of mechanism exists, the two kinds of

standards may mutually interfere and decrease network’s performance.

For countries that impose limit on WLAN output power, it might be necessary

When a packet is sent out from one wireless station to the other, it will waits

for an Acknowledgement frame from the remote station. If the ACK is NOT

received within that timeout period then the packet will be re-transmitted

resulting in reduced throughput. If the ACK setting is too high then

throughput will be lost due to waiting for the ACK Window to timeout on lost

packets. By having the ability to adjust the ACK setting we can effectively

optimize the throughput over long distance links. This is especially true for

802.11a and 802.11g networks

You can set as default for auto adjustment.
