TwinMOS Page 15
Wireless--Basic Settings Page
This page is used to configure the parameters for wireless LAN clients, which may connect to your
Access Point. Here you may change wireless encryption settings as well as wireless network parameters.
lDisable Wireless LAN Interface
When the setting is checked, the RF signal of the device will be disabled.
lSSID
The name of the wireless network: This name cannot be longer than 32 characters. The default value is
“B-AP-12.
lChannel Number
Atransmission channel for wireless communications:The channel of any wireless device must match
the channel selected here in order for the wireless device to access the LAN via the AP.
lAssociated Clients
Click “Show Active Clients” button to launch the Active Wireless Client Table. This table shows the
MAC address, transmission, receipt packet counters and encrypted status for each associated wireless
client.
lApply Changes
Click “Apply” button to save and implement the new settings.
lReset
Click “Reset”button to reload default settings.

Wireless—Advanced Settings Page
These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about
wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have
on your Access Point.
lAuthentication Type
This setting has to be consistent with the wireless devices,which the adapter intends to connect.
•Open System –No authentication is needed among the wireless devices.
•Shared Key –Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP Key) are allowed to connecting each
other. Setup the same key as the wireless devices,which the adapter intends to connect.
•Auto –Auto switch the authentication algorithm depending on the wireless devices which the adapter
is connecting to.
lFragment Threshold
The value defines the maximum size of packets:any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented.
If you have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again, but it
will likely decrease overall network performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
Minor change is recommended.
lRTS Threshold
Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller than this threshold,
an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. Select a setting withina range of
0 to 2347 bytes. Minor change is recommended

lBeacon Interval
This value specifies the duration between beacon packets (milliseconds). The beacon packets include the
AP’s information and are broadcasted to the WLAN network period.
lData Rate
Auto -When it is enabled, the device will choose the most suitable transmission rate automatically.
lPreamble Type
Select either a short preamble or long preamble. Select a short preamble for WLANs with high network
traffic; select a long preamble when the network traffic is low.
lBroadcast SSID
Enables and disables a Service Set Identifier broadcast. When enabled, the SSID of the AP is sent to
wireless enabled devices on the LAN. Set the AP's SSID in the Basic screen.
lIAPP:
Inter Access Point Protocol
Wireless—Security Page
This page allows you setup the wireless security. Turn on WEP or WPA by using Encryption Keys could
prevent any unauthorized access to your wireless network.

l802.1x
As the IEEE standard for access control for wireless and wired LANs, 802.1x provides a means of
authenticating and authorizing devices to attach to a LAN port. This standard defines the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP), which uses a central authentication server to authenticate each user on
the network.
lAES(Advanced Encryption Standard)
Security issues are a major concern for wireless LANs. AES is the U.S. government's next-generation
cryptography algorithm, which will replace DES and 3DES.
lTKIP
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption
standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol,
which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message
integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
Wireless—Security Page(Set WEP key)
This page allows you setup the WEP key value. You could choose use 64-bit or 128-bit as the encryption
key, and select ASCII or Hex as the format of input value.
lKey Length
You may select the 64-bit or 128-bit to encrypt transmitted data. Larger key length will provide higher
level of security, but the throughput will be lower.

Booming B Series Wireless AP
TwinMOS Page 19
lDefault Tx Key
Select one of the keys (1~4) as the encryption key.
lEncryption Key1~Key4
The keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill the text box by following the
rules below.
•64-bit –Input 10 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”range) as the encryption keys. For
example: “0123456aef“.
•128-bit –Input 26 digits Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) as the encryption keys.
For example:“01234567890123456789abcdef“.
Wireless—Access Control Page
If you enable wireless access control, only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the access
control list will be able to connect to your Access Point. When this option is enabled, no wireless clients
will be able to connect if the list contains no entries
