Wireless
Allow you to change the wireless settings to fit an existing wireless network or to customize your wireless network. |
|
Operating Mode AP (Access Point) Mode allows the DWL-G800 to perform as a wireless access point for wireless devices and clients to connect. The DWL-G800 is set to Repeater mode by default. As a wireless repeater, the DWL-G800 extends the range of the wireless network by repeating the wireless signal of the remote AP (Access Point). |
|
AP Name The name assigned to the DWL-G800 unit. |
|
SSID The SSID is a network name assigned to a specific wireless local area network (WLAN). The SSID name can be up to 32 characters in length. The Access Points and all wireless devices on the same WLAN must use the same SSID to establish wireless connection. The factory default setting for the SSID is "default". The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an existing wireless network or to establish a new wireless network with a different SSID. |
|
Channel Indicates the channel setting for the DWL-G800. By default the channel number is set to 6. The Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or to customize the wireless network. You may want to switch the channel if the signal quality is weak because of interference from other wireless devices using the same channel. |
|
WEP Select "Enabled" to use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to provide security by encrypting the data that is sent over the wireless network. WEP is disabled by default. (In order to communicate between wireless devices on the network, all devices must share the same Encryption selection - either Enabled or Disabled.) All devices on the network, and the Access Point must also use the same WEP key. The WEP key is generated from ASCII or hexadecimal entries (hexadecimal digits are numbers 0-9 and letters A-F) that are either 64, 128 bit in length. |
|
WEP Mode The WEP Mode that are supported by the DWL-G800 are HEX (Hexadecimal) and ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange.) The HEX are numbers 0~9 and characters from A to F. ASCII is the general form we use daily for representing English characters on computers. The Key Type can be changed to fit an existing wireless network or to customize your wireless network. |
|
KEYS Keys 1-4 allows you to easily change wireless encryption settings to maintain a secure network. Simply select the specific key to be used for encrypting wireless data on the network. The key length varies depending on how many bits you choose for your WEP Encryption. For 64-bit WEP encryption, the key length is 10 characters; and for 128-bit WEP encryption, the key length is 26 characters. Please note that some Access Points (AP), require that the key setting for the wireless client matches the key setting for the AP. |
|
Transmission (TX) Rates Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of wireless adapters on the WLAN (wireless local area network). The default TX rate is 1-2-5.5-6-9-11-12-18-24-36-48-54Mbps. |
|
Authentication For added security on the wireless network, when enabling Encryption, the Authentication type can also be selected. If Shared Key is selected, the DWL-G800 will not be seen on the wireless network except to the wireless clients that share the same WEP key. If Open System is chosen, only the wireless clients with the same WEP key will be able to communicate on the wireless network, but the DWL-G800 will be visible to all devices on the network regardless of WEP keys. The default value for Authentication is set to "Open System". |

Super G Super G is a group of performance enhancement features that increase end user application throughput in an 802.11g network. Super G is backwards compatible to standard 802.11g devices. For top performance, all wireless devices on the network should be Super G capable. Select either Disabled, Super G without Turbo, Super G with Dynamic Turbo, or Super G with Static Turbo.
