CHAPTER 8 The Wi-Fi Configuration Screens 8.1 Overview Use the ADVANCED > Wi-Fi Configuration screens to set up your WiMAX Device's Wi-Fi network features. 8.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter • The General screen (Section 8.2 on page 104) allows you to set up your WiMAX Device's basic Wi-Fi settings and security. • The MAC Filter screen (Section 8.3 on page 109) allows you to create a list of computer MAC addresses that you can allow or deny on your network. • The Advanced screen (Section 8.4 on page 110) allows you to adjust your advanced Wi-Fi network settings. 8.1.2 What You Need to Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. MAC Address On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC address is a computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet address). The MAC layer frames data for transmission over the network, then passes the frame to the physical layer interface where it is transmitted as a stream of bits. MAC Filtering Media Access Control filtering filters incoming frames based on MAC (Media Access Control) address(es) that you specify. RTS/CTS Request to Send / Clear to Send is a mechanism for reducing interference (or collisions) on a network by delaying other data in the pipeline. The network device User's Guide 103
