Chapter 7 Wireless LAN Table 13 Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or 5G> General LABEL DESCRIPTION 802.11 Mode You can select from the following: Security Security Mode • 802.11b: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at the data rates supported by IEEE 802.11b. • 802.11g: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device. IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the PLA only when they use the short preamble type. • 802.11bg: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. The PLA adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices. • 802.11n: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. This can increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g clients will not be able to connect to the PLA. I • 802.11gn: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. The transmission rate of your PLA might be reduced. • 802.11 bgn: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. The transmission rate of your PLA might be reduced. Select Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK to add security on this wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as this device. After you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen. See Section 7.5 on page 36 for detailed information on different security modes. Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without authentication. Apply Cancel Note: If the WPS function is enabled (default), only No Security and WPA2-PSK are available in this field. Click Apply to save your changes back to the PLA. Click Cancel to reload the previous configuration for this screen. 7.5 Wireless Security The screen varies depending on what you select in the Security Mode field. 7.5.1 No Security Select No Security to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points without any data encryption. Note: If you do not enable any wireless security on your PLA, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range. PLA5236 User's Guide 36

Wireless Security
The screen varies depending on what you select in the
Security Mode
field.
7.5.1
No Security
Select
No Security
to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points without any data
encryption.
Note: If you do not enable any wireless security on your PLA, your network is accessible to any
wireless networking device that is within range.
802.11 Mode
You can select from the following:
•
802.11b
: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the PLA. In this mode, all wireless devices can only transmit at the data rates supported
by IEEE 802.11b.
•
802.11g
: allows IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Device. IEEE
802.11b compliant WLAN devices can associate with the PLA only when they use the short
preamble type.
•
802.11bg
: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the PLA. The PLA adjusts the transmission rate automatically according to the wireless
standard supported by the wireless devices.
•
802.11n
: allows IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the PLA. This can
increase transmission rates, although IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g clients will not be able to
connect to the PLA. I
•
802.11gn
: allows either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the PLA. The transmission rate of your PLA might be reduced.
•
802.11 bgn
: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the PLA. The transmission rate of your PLA might be reduced.
