General Specifications Model MA401 Wireless PC Card

Authentication Algorithm Open System: No secret key is shared between the sender and recipient.

Each party generates its own key and asks the receiver to

accept the key.

Shared Key: Both sender and recipient share a secret key.

Fragmentation Threshold This is the packet length used for fragmentation. Packets larger than the

size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragmentation

Threshold value must be larger than RTS Threshold value. The default

value for Fragmentation Threshold is 2432.

Power save mode Power saving mode. This enables the wireless node to control its wireless

power consumption. The default setting for Power Save mode is Disabled.

Preamble Mode A long transmit preamble allows the receiver to lock into the received bit

patterns more easily. A short transmit preamble provides better

performance. The default value is Long Tx Preamble.

RTS Threshold The packet size that the wireless node uses to determine if it should use

the CSMA/CD mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet

transmission. With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the

transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited

for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the

transmitting station sends out a RTS packet to the receiving station, waits

for the receiving station to send back a CTS packet before sending the

actual packet data. The default value for RTS Threshold is 2432.
