Adhoc Network Channel
When Adhoc is selected in the Topology parameter, and the MatchPort cannot find
the specified network, it creates one with that name by transmitting a beacon on the
selected channel.
Channel (11) ? _
You can only select channels allowed in the country for which the MatchPort is
designated. The country displays in the settings overview.
Security Suite
The MatchPort features WEP, WPA, and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal to secure all
wireless communication. WPA and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal are not available when
Adhoc is selected as the topology.
The 802.11i/WPA2-Personal mode is compliant with the Robust Secure Network that
is specified in the IEEE standard 802.11i. It enables the AES-based strong CCMP
encryption.

Authentication Select whether the encryption keys are matched (1 =
shared) with those of the communication partner before
passing through messages or not (2 = open/none).
Encryption Length of the encryption key and the security strength.
WEP64 uses a 40 bits/5 bytes key (option 1). WEP128 uses
a 104 bits/13 bytes key (option 2).

Select (Y) Yes to show the currently configured
key/passphrase
Change key Select (Y) Yes to modify the currently configured key.
Key type Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or
passphrase format.
Enter key Enter the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not
the same as ASCII input (as used on some products). ASCII
is translated directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the
ASCII table. The MatchPort passphrase is hashed using the
Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for
WEP128).
The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars
long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13
(WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key
combinations.
