RTS Threshold: This is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem,
“Hidden Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access
Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each
other and can not detect each other. This mechanism is a way to prevent data collision
when Adapters require transmission. (Default: OFF)
Fragment Threshold: Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency
when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. (Default: OFF)
3-1-2. Authentication and Security Screen:

different settings in the profile, including 802.11 Protocol Authentication and Security and
802.1X Protocol.
Figure 3-4. Authentication and Security
Authentication Type: Before a station connects to a SSID, the authentication type used
by the SSID must be known. Authentication types include OPEN SYSTEM, WPA,
WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, LEAP and SHARED.
Encryption: To prevent unauthorized access to data transmitted on the network, the
Adapter and the Access Point agree on a type of data encryption. Any station that wishes
to connect must have the same password and encryption scheme to connect. Different
authentication types have different level of security. (Default: TKIP)
WEP encryption: Select one of the four keys as the default encrypted key.
To setup WEP, you will need to set a ASCII or HEX key to connect to Access Point. The
WEP Key can only be saved through the setting of profile.
1. Select a Key #.
2. Select a form of the key (Hex or ASCII).
3. Enter password. Please enter 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII digits.
4. Click OK to save the settings.
Making HEX keys:
64-bit - Generated as 10 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f) (example: 843c29a562)
128bit - Generated as 26 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f) (example:
3c29f2536bef3276d32e364a2c)
Note: Using a Hex key is more secure than using an ASCII key, and if you are connecting
to a GIGABYTE Router or Access Point, ASCII keys are not allowed and you must use a
Hex key.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption: WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK (Preshared Key) uses TKIP
or AES based on your choice. You create a password (or Passphrase as its often called)
11

and the system will use the Passphrase to create a cipher code in which it will encrypt the
data.
To use WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK:
1. Create a Passphrase, and key it in. Use 8~63 ASCII digits.
2. Remember this Passphrase. If you forget the Passphrase, you will have to do a
hard reset of the Access Point in order to restore default settings and connect
again.
3. Click “OK to save these settings.

TTLS. Check “Use Client Certificate” to verify the authenticity of a Client Certificate during
the authentication process.
Clicking More will open the Client Certificate Selection Window (shown in Figure 3-7).
Users can select one suitable certificate as Client Certificate. (Default: OFF)
Tunnel Authentication: PEPA and TTLS use two-step authentication method. The first
step is that Server sets up a Tunnel with its authentication. No option is need to be
set for Client (the PC with the Adapter). The second step is to confirm the validity of
Client with assigned authentication type in the Tunnel. Data needed for
authentication includes Tunnel ID, Tunnel Password, Client Certificate or Server
Authentication.
Protocol: Use assigned authentication type in the safe tunnel.
Tunnel ID: Users’ accounts.
Password: Passwords for users’ accounts.
Figure 3-6. Client Certificate Selection List
3-1-2-2. 802.1x Settings - CA Server Tab

Figure 3-7. CA Server Setting
To verify the CA server:
1. Confirm if the Server Certificate is issued by assigned certificate issuer. If “Allow
Intermediate Authentication” is checked, the server certificate can be issued by
one intermediate certificate issuer.
2. Check the server name of server certificate is the same as the name entered by
the user or belongs to the same domain.
Use certificate chain: If “Use certificate chain” is checked, it indicates that Client will
confirm whether CA server is reliable. (Default: OFF)
Certificate issuer: CA of a server certificate can be selected from certificate issuers on
the drop-down list. (Default: ANY)
Allow intermediate Certificates: When this option is checked, the certificate issuer can
be an issuer recognized by a specific certificate issuer. On the other hand, the server
certificate must be issued by a certificate issuer selected by the user.
Server name: This value can be a server name or the name of a domain where the server
is located.
Server name must match exactly: If this option is selected, the server name of server
certificate must be the same as “Server Name” or as the name of domain where the server
is located.
Domain name must end in specified name: If this option is selected, the certificate
issuer must be the domain or secondary domain entered in “Server Name”.

802.11 B Only and 802.11 G Only. (Default: 802.11 B/G mix)
TX Burst: The longest interval between frames is normally one DIFS while frames are
transmitted. When this setting is open, the longest interval between frames is one SIFS
that means the system is allowed to transmit higher capacity of data in one
interval.(Default: OFF)
B/G Protection: 802.11b uses CCK modulation. 802.11g uses OFDM while CCK
modulation for 802.11b is compatible. To prevent data collision between two stations with
802.11b and 802.11g within range of the same Access Point, it is necessary to set 11B/G
Protection. This setting only functions when 802.11 B/G mix is selected as Wireless Mode.
Three setting are available: AUTO, ENABLE and DISABLE.
This is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem, “Hidden Note” is
a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not
within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other and can not
detect each other. This mechanism is a way to prevent data collision when WLAN
