Getting Started Configuration Files
2-14
When WEP is enabled and a WEP key is set, the SCS will only connect to an AP (in infrastructure mode)
or communicate with other ad-hoc peers (in ad-hoc mode) that have been programmed with the same WEP
key as the SCS. For a key to match, both the key data and the index number must be identical.
Enter a WEP key if you have not previously done so. The key can be either 40-bits or 128-bits. Each key is
also assigned an index number, which is an integer between 1 and 4.
Figure 2-27: Setting the WEP Key and Index Number
The SCS will receive both encrypted and unencrypted traffic. You can disable the reception of unencrypted
traffic and accept only frames encrypted with its WEP key by entering the following command:

2.5 Configuration Files
Once you have configured one SCS, you can create a configuration file from those settings and download
that file to other devices. A configuration file is a series of commands used to automatically configure an
SCS. By using a configuration file, you save time that would otherwise be spent manually entering
commands. You can also update the configuration of many devices simultaneously, ensuring that each
device is configured the same. You can download a file manually, or configure the SCS to automatically
download a file each time it boots.
EZWebCon can automatically translate your current SCS configuration into a configuration file, which can
then be downloaded through EZWebCon to other devices. Refer to EZWebCon’s online help for more
information.
The rest of this section describes how to create and use configuration files at the command line.
2.5.1 Creating a Configuration File
To create a configuration file without EZWebCon, you must manually enter each command in the file.
1 On your host, enter a series of SCS commands in a text file, one command per line. Privileged
commands may be included; when the file is downloaded, the commands will be executed as if a
privileged user was logged into the SCS.
Capitalization of commands is optional. If a string (such as a filename) is entered, it must be enclosed
with quotes in order to preserve the case. To include a comment in the file, preface the line with a
pound (#) character. These lines will be ignored.
If Define Server commands are included in the file, they will not take effect until the SCS is rebooted.
Define Port commands will not take effect until the specified ports are logged out. Define Site
commands will take effect when the specified site is started.
