4.5 Traffic Log

Traffic Log:

The AP can keep logs of all incoming or outgoing traffic for your network traffic. This

feature is disabled by default. To keep activity logs, select

Enable

.

To keep a permanent record of activity logs as a file on your PC’s hard drive, Log viewer software

must be used. In the Send Log to field, enter the fixed IP address of the PC running the Log viewer

software. The AP will send updated logs to that PC.

To see a temporary log of the AP’s most recent traffic, click the

View Log

button..

4.6 Access Control

Access Control:

This function will allow administrator to have access control by enter MAC address

of client stations. When

Enable

this function, two new options will show up.

Depend on the filtering propose, it can be selected to

Deny

or

Allow

.

Fill the client stations MAC list to complete the configuration. The table could store up to

40

different

MAC addresses. Please follow the format that it required when an address is input.

4.7 Advanced Wireless

Authentication Type:

Auto:

Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will change its authentication type

automatically to fulfill client’s requirement.

Open System:

Open System authentication is not required to be successful while a client may

decline to authenticate with any particular other client.

Shared Key:

Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key

authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who know a shared

secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication accomplishes

this without the need to transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy

mechanism.

Transmission Rate:

The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your

wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select

AUTO

to

have the AP automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature.

Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the AP and a wireless client.

The default setting is

AUTO

.

Beacon Interval:

The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a

value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless

network. The default value is

100

RTS Threshold:

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Should you encounter

inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than

the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The AP sends Request

to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame.

After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to

acknowledge the right to begin transmission.

Fragmentation Threshold:

This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is

fragmented into multiple packets. It should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a

high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the

Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of

this value are recommended.

DTIM Interval:

This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A

DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and

multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for

associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.

Access Point Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
