Wireless Ethernet Interface Configuration Using The Control Panel
61
• Preamble
This is the preamble used in the wireless packets. It is
recommended to set to "Default" so that the Ethernet Interface can
detect the correct preamble. The preamble is approximately 8 bytes
of the packet header generated by the AP and is attached to the
packet prior to transmission. The preamble length is transmission
data rate dependent. The "short" preamble is 50% shorter than the
"long" preamble. It must match the Access Point's preamble
configuration.
• Power Management
This option allows you to set power-save mode and sleep time. A
value specifying the sleep time in milliseconds will be provided. If
set to zero, power-save mode will be disabled.
• Transmit Power
This option allows you to specify the power level used by the
wireless card to send network packets to the access point. Transmit
power is specified as a percentage of full pwer (0 – 100%).
• International Mode
When enabled, the Wireless option adapts to international
frequency requirements in Europe.
• Authentication Method
This feature allows the user to select the authentication method
used for the wireless network interface. The options include open,
shared, kerberos, and leap.
• Default WEP Key
The default key must match the Access Point's configuration. If the
Access Point is configured to use "Open System", the default key
should be set to 0. If the Access Point is configured to use 40-bit or
128-bit WEP encryption key, the encryption key must be set to the
same setting as the Access Point's setting. See the following
section on how to set up the encryption key. In addition, there may
be four keys (1-4) that an Access Point can use. If the Access Point
is set to use key 1, the default key must be set to 1 to correspond to
the Access Point's setting.
