4: Configuration Using Web-Manager 802.11i/WPA2-Personal Options Authentication Select Pre-Shared Keys from the drop-down list. Encryption Select the encryption type from the drop-down list. CCMP is the default encryption for WPA2. Key Type Select the key type (Hex or Passphrase). Key and Retype Key Enter the Encryption Key in hexadecimal value if the key type is Hex. Enter the key as a string if the key type is Passphrase. Passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input. A passphrase of more than 20 characters is recommended. Spaces and punctuation characters are permitted. Advanced Settings TX Data Rate Min TX Data Rate Max TX Failures Radio Power Management MatchPort permits the control of the transmission data rate. Click the Auto fallback check box to allow the MatchPort to set the data rate automatically (or leave unchecked to set the transmission rate manually). The default rate is 54 Mbps. If the Auto fallback check box is selected, choose the maximum data rate from the drop-down list. If the Auto fallback check box was not selected, select the fixed data rate (in Mbps) from the drop-down list. Selects the minimum data rate the device will use when autofallback is enabled. The default is 1 Mbps. Note: If Auto Rate Fallback is enabled and a minimum TX data rate other than 1Mbps is configured, the radio will operate in Single Rate Drop mode. This means that if a rate drop becomes necessary, the radio will drop from the maximum rate to the lowest rate, ignoring all rates in between. This reduces the potential number of packet retransmission attempts, because the radio attempts to transmit a packet three times before transitioning to the next lowest TX rate. Determines the maximum number of consecutive transmit packet failures before the device will drop its association with the AP and attempt to establish a new one. The range of attempts is 6 to 64 with 255 equaling disabled. The default is 6 failed attempts. Power management reduces the overall power consumption of the MatchPort unit. Selecting Enable increases the response time. Power management is not permitted in Ad-Hoc mode. MatchPort User Guide 38

4: Configuration Using Web-Manager
802.11i/WPA2-Personal Options
Authentication
Select
Pre-Shared Keys
from the drop-down list.
Encryption
Select the encryption type from the drop-down list.
CCMP
is
the default encryption for WPA2.
Key Type
Select the key type (
Hex
or
Passphrase
).
Key and Retype Key
Enter the
Encryption Key
in hexadecimal value if the key
type is
Hex
. Enter the key as a string if the key type is
Passphrase
. Passphrase input is not the same as ASCII
input. A passphrase of more than 20 characters is
recommended. Spaces and punctuation characters are
permitted.
Advanced Settings
TX Data Rate
MatchPort permits the control of the transmission data rate.
Click the
Auto fallback
check box to allow the MatchPort to
set the data rate automatically (or leave unchecked to set the
transmission rate manually). The default rate is
54 Mbps
.
If the
Auto fallback
check box is selected, choose the
maximum data rate from the drop-down list.
If the
Auto fallback
check box was not selected, select the
fixed data rate (in Mbps) from the drop-down list.
Min TX Data Rate
Selects the minimum data rate the device will use when
auto-
fallback is enabled. The default is
1 Mbps
.
Note:
If Auto Rate Fallback is enabled and a minimum TX
data rate other than 1Mbps is configured, the radio will
operate in Single Rate Drop mode. This means that if a rate
drop becomes necessary, the radio will drop from the
maximum rate to the lowest rate, ignoring all rates in between.
This reduces the potential number of packet retransmission
attempts, because the radio attempts to transmit a packet
three times before transitioning to the next lowest TX rate.
Max TX Failures
Determines the maximum number of consecutive transmit
packet failures before the device will drop its association with
the AP and attempt to establish a new one. The range of
attempts is 6 to 64 with 255 equaling disabled. The default is 6
failed attempts.
Radio Power
Management
Power management reduces the overall power consumption
of the MatchPort unit. Selecting
Enable
increases the
response time. Power management is not permitted in Ad-Hoc
mode.
