• Channel: This setting specifies the default 802.11b channel used by the Wireless LAN. In
an Infrastructure type network without an Access Point active on the default channel, clients
will scan through all available channels searching for a network with a matching ESSID.
Changing the Channel: Changing the channel is only effective in Ad-Hoc
networks. Networks operating in Infrastructure mode automatically scan for
a channel. For a list of frequencies see Regulatory Channel Frequencies on
page 25.
Encryption: Selecting the Encryption tab allows you to create new WEP keys.
NOTE: Wired Equivalent Privacy, (WEP) is an encryption scheme used to protect your wireless
data communications. WEP uses a combination of 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide
access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission. To
decode a data transmission, each wireless client on the network must use an identical
64-bit or 128-bit key. This feature is only available in Infrastructure Mode and must also
be enabled on the Access Point.
