Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router Table 5-4. Wireless LAN Setup Fields (continued) Field RTS Threshold Fragment Threshold WEP Configuration WEP Encryption WEP Key Generator Passphrase Key1 to Key4 (Manual Entry) Description Request To Send Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Packets with frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this field to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size will turn off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this field to zero will turn on the RTS/CTS handshake. The default value for RTS Threshold is 2432. To change this value, uncheck the Default box and enter a value between 0 and 2432. Packets larger than the size specified in this field will be fragmented and transmitted in fragments of a size not exceeding this value. The Fragment Threshold value must be larger than RTS Threshold value. The default value for RTS Threshold is 2432. To change this value, uncheck the Default box and enter a value between 256 and 2432. Select the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption level: • Disabled (Open System) • 64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption • 128-bit encryption If WEP is enabled, you can generate the four data encryption keys by entering a word or group of printable characters, and clicking Create. If WEP is enabled, you can manually program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network. Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F) Note: If you are configuring the router from a wireless PC and you change the router's ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click on Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your PC to match the router's new settings. Advanced Configuration of the Router 5-7
