Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
WiPort™ User Guide 57
This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication and
encryption.
Group encryption 1=WEP64, 2=WEP128, 3=TKIP (1) ?
Display current key (N) ?
Change key (N) ?
Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (1) ?
Enter key: () ?
Select the Group encryption type to 1 (WEP64), 2 (WEP128), or 3 (TKIP). The
group encryption for all wireless devices communicating with the same access point
must be equal to receive broadcast and multicast messages. If any of these devices
are WEP-only (no support for WPA), set the group encryption to WEP for all devices.
Select (Y) Yes at the Display current key prompt to show the currently configured
key/passphrase
Change key permits modifying the currently configured key by selecting (Y) Yes.
The Key type requests whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format.
Enter key prompts for the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not the
same as ASCII input (as used on other products). ASCII is translated directly into
hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table. The WiPort 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.
Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine the passphrase input style
recommended.
Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more
for maximum security.
Fixed or Automatic Data Rate
WiPort permits the control of the transmission rate. Select 0 to set a fixed data rate or
select 1 to set an automatic data rate. The default is a fixed data rate (11 Mbps).
TX Data rate 0=fixed, 1=auto (0) ? _
Transmission Data Rate
If the TX Data rate is set to 0 (fixed), the selected data rate is the the WiPort’s fixed
transmission rate. If the TX Data rate is set to 1 (auto), the selected data rate is the
the WiPort’s maximum data rate. Lower data rates allow for larger distances. It may
also be required when communicating with older devices.
TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11 Mbps (0) ? _
WiPort version WP2001000G-02 offers additional transmission rate options:
TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11
4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps (0) ? _
Note: WiPort version WP2001000G-02’s maximum data rate cannot be selected
when TX Data rate is set to 1 (auto).
