Service Set identity for the RFS, and then select Save Changes to save your

You must enter an SSID in order for the RFS to have 802.11 capabilities. Typically,

the SSID reflects the owner of the RFS. For more information, refer to section 6.2.2

Save Changes to save your changes.

NOTE: RFN recommends that either WEP or WPA Encryption is enabled. If WEP

Encryption is used, you must also define the four WEP keys.

To enter a WEP Key, first select the radio button next to the text box of the WEP key

you want to enter or change. Enter each WEP key in hexadecimal format consisting

of five pairs of hex digits. Five pairs of hex digits form a

40-bit binary string, which is the standard length of a WEP key. Only one WEP Key

can be selected at a time (the radio button is selected). Then, choose one of the four

keys to be used for iRAP Identification (select the radio button of the key you want to

use).

For Shared Key Authentication, RFN recommends that you leave this option

disabled, that is, do not select the option.

Refer to section 6.2.3 WEP Encryption for more information on using WEP

Encryption settings.
