LAN Setting
Obtain IP Address
automatically
(DHCP Client)
Do NOT select this unless you have a DHCP Server on your LAN. A DHCP Server can provide
an IP Address to PCs and other devices when they boot.
Fixed IP Address
Select this if your LAN does not have a DHCP Server, and enter the following data.
IP Address: The IP Address must be unused, and compatible with the PCs on your LAN.
Network Mask: Enter the same Network Mask (Subnet Mask) used by PCs on your LA N.
Gateway: If your LAN has a Router or Gateway, enter its IP Address here. Otherwise, leave
this blank.

To hide SSID broadcast to other wireless devices
Country/Region
Choose the country/region where MyXerver™ Pro is installed
Channel
Select the channel of your network (1-11)
Wireless Mode
Select one of these choice: IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11 b/g
Transmit Rate
Select either fixed transmit rate of auto adjust transmit rate
Authentication Mode
MX3800 provides 3 types of wireless authentication: WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA. Details are
below.
Encryption Type
Select WEP mode to enable the encryption. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a method of
encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a
wired network. To gain access to a WEP network, user must know the key. The key is a string
of characters that you create.
MX3800 Wireless Authentication Mode:
 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide
the same level of privacy as a wired network. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key
is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type
of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys
are a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier
to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be provided to
accommodate easy changes.
Example:
64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length.
(12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption)
128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length.
(456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for 128-bit encryption)
64-bit ASCII keys are exactly 5 characters in length
(DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption)
128-bit ASCII keys are exactly 13 characters in length
(2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit encryption)
 WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key) is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the
security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
WPA has improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been
tampered with. The key or passphrase is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The
