WaveBase and Wireless Units Only
RTS Threshold
: Request to Send - Sets the packet size that triggers a Request to
Send. In congested environments, you may want to make sure the transmission path is
clear by having RTS packets sent before the main packet. The response is a CTS
(Clear to Send) and then the Main Packet is sent, otherwise the RTS is repeated. Zero
disables.
Fragment Threshold
: The size at which you want packets fragmented into smaller
packets for more reliable communication in an environment with poor signal quality.
Encryption...
WEP
: Wired Equivalent Privacy - When enabled, the WaveBase uses a 40 or 128-Bit
Shared-Key encryption algorithm to secure network data during transmission.

Static IP & DNS
If you have a Static IP account from your ISP or are using the Pro behind another
gateway device, enter the network information here. This screen is similar to a
computer's “Network Properties” screen.
Unit WAN IP
: The IP address of the external (WAN) side of the Pro.
Network Mask
: This mask is used to determine where packets are sent (internal or
external). Custom ISP accounts might require a change; otherwise leave it at its
default of 255.255.255.0 (Class "C" network).
Gateway
: Needed by the Pro to know where to send WAN packets.
Domain Name Servers
: Up to three Domain Name Servers can be entered. These are
needed for Static accounts. Entries are not needed for standard (dynamic) Internet
accounts, or accounts where a DHCP server gives out the information. But you can
override and enter your own settings for any Internet account.
