SPEEDLAN TM

Enable Remote Bridging using IP Tunnels - SPEEDLAN TM supports a special feature which will enable

Ethernet packets of any protocol type to be encapsulated in IP packets and sent to other brouters (purchased

from Wave Wireless )for de-encapsulation. This method can be used to setup virtual Ethernet LANs between

several points using an IP network as the transport layer.

Enable Advanced Network Monitoring Support - This option is not available at this time.

Enable IP Security Counter Measures - This option is not available at this time.

Enable Access Control - This option is not available at this time.

Enable Digital Alarm Monitoring and Reporting - This option is not available at this time.

Enable Data Encryption - This optional feature allows you to encrypt wireless data transmissions on top

of the encryption provided by the radio. It provides 56 bit DES encryption. It is not shipped standard as

part of the XE units. If you did not purchase it when you originally bought the SPEEDLAN TM units, it can

be purchased later as a software upgrade.

Data encryption is disabled by default. Check the box labeled “Enable Encryption” to enable the encryption

features. You will still need to define at least one encryption key before your wireless traffic will be transmit-

ted using wireless data encryption. To do this, return to the drop down menu presented when you clik on

Setup. Now you will see a Data Encryption Setup item added to the menu list. Select Data Encryption

Setup. Select the DES Encryption button and enter an 8 digit alhpanumeric string in the range of “a-z”, “A-

Z”, and “0-9”.

Examples:

· Alphanumeric: a5F2z4wK

Warning: This setting must be set to the same value on all XE units you wish to have communicate

together. Failure to set them to the same value will prevent any communications from taking place.

(e.g. for multipoint to work properly, the base station AND all of the satellite units must use the same

Encryption Key setting.
