Setting an Encryption Key on TransPort
In order to secure your wireless transmission beyond the SSID, you
can encrypt the data transmission on your wireless network. Setting
the encryption key is a two-step process:
1. Set the key on Transport using the Network Management
Console. The procedure is described below.
2. Set the key for each computer in your network using the
Station Configuration Utility. See “Setting Encryption Keys for
Computers” on page 30, for a description of setting up your
computers.
The Network Management Console gives you two methods for
enabling encryption of data. You can use a passphrase that is
automatically translated into a Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP)
key, or you can enter the WEP key manually.
Open the Network Management Console. For instructions on
opening the Console, see page 33.
Click Encryption (WEP). The Encryption (WEP) page
appears.
Click one of the Enable options. You can enter a passphrase or
manually enter a WEP key.
Depending on your Enable selection, type a passphrase or a
WEP key.
■ The Passphrase can be 21 characters long and use any
character.
■ The WEP must be two characters for each text box. The
characters must be from 0 to 9 and from a to f.
Click Submit. The Network Management Console is displayed
with a check mark beside Encryption (WEP) to indicate a
change.
