Configuration
Regulatory
Domain
It is illegal to use this device in any location outside of the regulatory
domain.
Station Name This is the same as the Device (Host) Name on the WAN screen. On
your PC, some Wireless status screens may display this name as the
Access Point in use.
SSID
(ESSID)
To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST use the same
SSID/ESSID.
The default value is wireless.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Channel No. The default Channel for the USA and Canada is 3.
Select the value you wish to use on your Wireless LAN. If you
experience lost connections and/or slow data transfers you may need to
experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
WEP Data Privacy
Off If OFF (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted.
64 Bit
Encryption
If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
transmitted.
The receiving station must be set to 64 Bit Encryption, and have the
same Key value in the same position in its key table. Otherwise, it will
not be able to decrypt the data.
Default Key
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for
decryption only.
Key Table:
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations,
including this Access Point, always transmit data encrypted using their
default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is also transmitted. The
receiving station will use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine
which key value to use for decryption. If the key value does not match
the transmitting station, decryption will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every
Station, including the Access Point, use the same key table (all entries
identical). Then, it does not matter which key is used as the default
key.
128 Bit
Encryption
If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted.
The receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and have
the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
Key
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same
key
WEP
Authentication
Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".
Some Wireless cards do not support both methods. Check your
Wireless card's documentation to determine the correct value.
Ensure that all Wireless stations use the same setting as the Access
Point.
