CB3000 Client Bridge Install Guide

4. Use the Default Transmit Key checkboxes to specify which one key is used to transmit

WEP algorithm information between the CB3000 and its associated device.

5. Select 128-bits from the WEP Encryption drop down menu.

For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length.

6. Use the Passphrase algorithm checkboxes to specify whether the optional passphrase is

a Symbol Passkey or a Generic Passphrase. PassKeys and pass phrases provides an easy to

remember way of entering WEP key data without having to manually enter the keys each

time WEP keys are created.

Select Symbol PassKey to use a Symbol proprietary algorithm the CB3000 uses exclusively

with other Symbol clients. The CB3000 decodes the PassKey into a set of 4 WEP keys using

MD5 algorithms. The WEP keys display as alphanumeric text in the key fields until saved or

the user navigates away from the WEP screen.

Select Generic Passphrase if the CB3000 is sharing WEP keys with non-Symbol clients.

The CB3000 decodes the passphrase into a set of 4 WEP keys, with the length depending on

the 64 or 128 bit key length. The WEP keys display as alphanumeric text in the key fields

until saved or the user navigates away from the WEP screen.

7. Specify a 4 to 32 character Passphrase and click the Generate Keys button.

The passphase is helpful for entering WEP keys without having the remember all of the

characters comprising the key. The passphase can be any alphanumeric string. The CB3000,

other proprietary routers and Symbol devices use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to

the same hexadecimal number. This conversion is not required for a wireless connection.

Wireless devices without Symbol adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as

hexadecimal numbers.

8. Click Apply to save the settings defined for WEP 128.

9. Click Cancel to revert the screen back to the last saved configuration.

With a basic CB3000 device configuration set and WEP 128 defined for the CB3000 and its

associated network device, the CB3000 is now ready to test for device connectivity.

NOTE The CB3000 and its associated device are required to use the same key

and key length to interoperate.
