Configuring Wireless Settings (continued)
Setting the Encryption type/key
By default the encryption type and key are not set at the factory. To set the current
encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2), use the pull down menu to select the
encryption type, then enter the encryption key value.
Min/Max digits for each encryption type are the following:
WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy. An IEEE standard security protocol for 802.11
networks. This protocol has been superseded by WPA and WPA2. A 10 Hex digit
string (i.e. 0123456789) or a 5 character ASCII string (i.e. s: smile)
Security Strength:Good
WPA-WiFi Protected Access. A WiFi Alliance security protocol for 802.11 networks
A
8-63 ASCII character string length (the longer the character string, the stronger the
encryption)
Security Strength: Better
WPA2-WiFi Protected Access. A WiFi Alliance security protocol for 802.11 networks. A
8-63 ASCII character string (the longer the character string, the stronger the encryption)
Security Strength: Best
Autonet Mobile recommends WPA2
Radio Mode
This feature allows you to select whether the radio is in 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11a mode.
The default setting is (g), which is backward compatible with (b) but not (a). If your system
only supports (a), you will need to set CarFi’sRadio mode to (a) to operate properly.
This action requires a re-boot of the CarFi if changed.
