VersaLink™ Gateway (Model 327W)
Traffic Allowed: When the MAC Filter is enabled, only stations in the MAC Filter Table
(which are set to “Allowed”) will have access to the AP.
Blocked: This allows the station to remain in the table, but no access to the
VersaLink is allowed.
MAC Address The MAC address assigned to the station that you want to allow access to.
Station Name The station name or description that the MAC address is assigned to. This is an
optional field that is useful in identifying the station.

Beacon Period The time interval between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons contain rate and
capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the
access points in the area.
RTS Threshold RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU
containing a number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than
the MSDU size (typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will
be performed. A value of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs.
Fragmented Threshold Any MSDU or MMPDU larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU
of the specified size.
Preamble Algorithm Factory Default = Local STA’s
Possible Responses:
Always Long: Transmissions are done using the long preamble algorithm.
Always Short: Transmissions are done using the short preamble algorithm.
Local STA’s: If all associated stations support short preamble, then the short
