4. Configure the WEP 128 Setting field as required to define the Pass Key used to generate
the WEP keys
.
5. Click the Apply button to save the security policy and return to the AP-5131 Quick Setup
screen.
At this point, you can either restrict specific MU access to the AP-5131 (using the AP-5131
ACL) or test the AP-5131 for MU interoperability.
4.1.2 Excluding MUs from AP-5131 Association
Optionally, use the AP-5131 Access Control List ACL to specify which MUs can or cannot gain access
to an AP-5131 managed WLAN. By default, all mobile units can gain access. For specific information
on configuring (restricting) MU access, refer to the AP-5131 Product Reference Guide. The guide is on
the CD-ROM shipped with the AP-5131, or can be found at
(http://www.symbol.com/services/downloads.html
).
Pass Key Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the Generate button.
The AP-5131, other proprietary routers and Symbol MUs use the
same algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal
number. Non-Symbol clients and devices need to enter WEP keys
manually as hexadecimal numbers. The AP-5131 and its target
client(s) must use the same pass key to interoperate.
Keys #1-4 Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. The key can be
either a hexidecimal or ASCII depending on which option is
selected from the drop-down menu. For WEP 64 (40-bit key), the
keys are 10 hexadecimal characters in length or 5 ASCII characters.
For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters
in length or 13 ASCII characters. Select one of these keys for
activation by clicking its radio button. The AP-5131 and its target
client(s) must use the same key to interoperate.
