6. Encryption
To manage a unit’s security settings, click on Management -> Security from
the Navigation Toolbar to display the following screen.
Three data encryption options are available: none, AES and WEP. Within both
AES and WEP, there are several key length choices.
If encryption is enabled, the key value must be the same for all units within a
wireless network. Key values are entered in hexadecimal format – each digit
can be a number from 0 - 9 or a letter from a - f.
After changes are complete, click on the Submit button. If a mistake is made,
you can restore the previous setting by clicking the Reset button. To make
changes effective, reboot the unit by clicking on Advanced -> Reboot from the
Navigation Toolbar.
7. Access Control
For security purposes, each point-to-point radio must be programmed with the
MAC address of its peer unit.
Point-to-point pairs are shipped from Solectek with these complementary MAC
addresses preprogrammed. However, if there is any need to modify the wireless
network, the MAC address of the peer unit can be modified.
To access the relevant web screen click on the Management -> Peer Unit’s
Info menu option on the Navigation Toolbar.
- Peer Unit’s MAC: This is the hardware MAC address of the peer
station and can be found on the peer’s user interface or back label.
- Description: Type in any description that will easily identify the peer
with the above MAC address. This is an optional field and can be left
blank.
CAUTION: Descriptions must be a single word only. No spaces are
allowed.
Once both point-to-point units have valid MAC addresses, a link will be
established.
